How to Layer Sunscreen with Skincare or Makeup (Without the Greasy Feel)
Share
We’ve all been there—trying to layer sunscreen into a skincare or makeup routine only to end up with pilling, greasiness, or that dreaded white cast. But sunscreen is not optional—it’s the most important step in your skincare routine.
So how do you wear SPF every day without compromising your glow or your makeup?
At Cove Suncare, we’ve designed our lightweight, mineral-based sunscreen to seamlessly blend into your routine—no grease, no mess, no excuses. Here’s how to do it right:
Step 1: Start with Your Skincare Basics
Cleanse, tone, apply serums, and moisturize like you normally would. If your routine includes actives like Vitamin C or niacinamide, no worries—Cove’s mineral formula plays nice with all skin types.
💡 Tip: Let your moisturizer fully absorb before moving on to sunscreen. It helps prevent pilling.
Step 2: Apply Cove Sunscreen Generously
Now the star of the show—Sun Spritz or Sundrops from Cove. Apply at least two fingers’ worth of product for full face coverage. The mineral-based zinc oxide in Cove offers broad-spectrum protection without the heavy residue.
✔️ Non-greasy
✔️ No white cast
✔️ Fast-absorbing spray or cream options
Whether you’re using our spray-on formula or our soft daily lotion, Cove layers like a dream.
Step 3: Let It Set (Just for a Minute)
Give it 1–2 minutes to fully absorb and “grip” your skin. This sets the perfect base for makeup or tinted moisturizer. You’ll notice it feels more like a primer than a sunscreen.
Step 4: Layer Your Makeup Like Normal
Go ahead—concealer, foundation, bronzer, blush—it all sits beautifully on top of Cove. No slipping, no separating, and no added shine. Cove is designed to work under your daily beat, whether you're going full glam or skin-tint minimal.
Bonus: Reapplication Without Ruining Your Look
Our Sun Spritz spray is perfect for midday SPF touch-ups. Just mist gently over your makeup for a fresh layer of protection—no smudging, no need to start over.
Final Thoughts
SPF is your best beauty investment—and with Cove, it doesn’t have to compromise your skincare or style. Our lightweight, clean, and reef-safe formula is made for daily use, with a texture you’ll actually want to wear.
