Do I need to remove sunscreen makeup? What should I use to remove sunscreen makeup?

Every time I apply sunscreen, I wash my face without removing makeup. But my friend told me that sunscreen cannot be left on the face because it is bad for the skin. Do I need to remove makeup after applying sunscreen? If so, what is the best way to remove sunscreen?

Sunscreen needs makeup removal. The sunscreen ingredients in sunscreen are the most difficult to clean with water and facial cleanser, and will cause damage to the skin over time. Physical sunscreens generally use oily solvents, which are thicker and heavier. When applied to the face, the skin turns white. They are more granular and more difficult to clean. Chemical sunscreens have a refreshing texture, do not turn white, and are not greasy. If you do not remove makeup, they will easily penetrate the skin and cause allergies and other problems. Whether you apply sunscreen or sunscreen spray, you need to remove makeup.

After applying sunscreen, you must use makeup remover to remove makeup first.

Nowadays, many sunscreens are waterproof and oil-proof, so they need to be removed carefully with makeup remover. Because waterproof sunscreen is insoluble in water, general cleaning products cannot remove oil-soluble dirt, and the residue will clog pores and cause acne and blackheads.

Therefore, you must use special makeup remover products. You can choose the appropriate makeup remover product according to your personal skin condition and needs.

1. Incomplete cleaning will cause dirt and other impurities on the skin to accumulate, creating an environment for bacteria that can easily infect the skin.

2. Sunscreen and facial dirt will clog the pores of the skin, which will become larger, causing blackheads to appear, and the skin condition will become worse and worse.

3. The skin's resistance becomes weaker, and once it encounters external stimuli, various skin problems will arise.

General sunscreens can be divided into two categories according to the sunscreen: physical sunscreen and chemical sunscreen. The working principle of physical sunscreen is to shield ultraviolet rays by reflection, which is like putting a protective clothing on the skin. When the sun shines on this protective clothing, it is radiated away, and the skin will not be exposed to ultraviolet rays. Physical sunscreens "lie" on the surface of the skin. Since this type of sunscreen must be stably blended with other ingredients to form sunscreen, oily solvents are generally used. Therefore, physical sunscreens are relatively thick. When applied on the face, the skin turns white and has heavy particles.

Chemical sunscreen absorbs ultraviolet rays from the sun and converts them into heat energy, thus preventing ultraviolet rays from damaging the skin. The advantages of this type of sunscreen are that it has a refreshing texture, does not turn white, is not greasy, and is suitable for all skin types, but it takes time for the skin to absorb it, and it is "not long-lasting", which is why some people say that it is not necessary to remove makeup after using sunscreen.

Physical sunscreens are absorbed on the surface of the skin and mixed with other skin care products. Simply washing your face cannot completely remove them. This will affect the skin's absorption of nutrients from skin care products and will also hinder the pores from being unobstructed. In addition, many sunscreens now have waterproof functions, which are difficult to clean. Therefore, physical sunscreens need to be removed.

Although chemical sunscreens will be converted as they absorb ultraviolet rays, not all applied sunscreens will be converted. Moreover, if chemical sunscreens are not removed, they can easily penetrate into the skin and cause allergies and other problems.
