Mineral powder with SPF

Sunscreen in the morning is just the first step, as its effect weakens during the day. Reapplying the cream over makeup is inconvenient, which is why a more convenient format has appeared. Mineral powder with SPF combines tinting, mattifying and UV filters in one product. We tell you what it consists of, who should buy it and how to use it.

What is mineral powder with SPF

This is a loose mineral-based product that refreshes makeup and at the same time renews sun protection. It is similar in format to compact powder, but performs a broader function:

1. The composition contains mineral UV filters and components that absorb excess sebum, so the skin looks matte, and does not shine under a layer of makeup.
2. You can apply the product over day care, for example, from the catalog page dedicated to facial care.

Sunscreen mineral powder differs from regular powder in that it contains physical filters. They reflect UV rays from the surface of the skin, but do not penetrate deep. Deciding to buy such a format means covering a specific need - maintaining protection throughout the day without disturbing makeup.

Active ingredients

The powder, which you can buy right here, contains several components, and each performs a separate function:

• organic barley starch (Scandinavia) absorbs excess sebum and sweat, absorbs lipids by more than 50% of its own weight, oval-shaped particles do not injure the skin;
• a silicon modifier scatters light, so fine wrinkles become visually less noticeable, and the finish remains soft;
• Micapoly UF crystals act as a physical barrier and provide stable protection against UV radiation;
• titanium dioxide (17.5%) is responsible for broad-spectrum protection - from UVA and UVB rays.

Each component has a specific task, so it is not an abstract "overall effect" that works, but the predicted action of each ingredient. For comprehensive care, the powder can be combined with products from the niacinamide category, which support the skin barrier between applications.

How to choose a shade and level of protection

The choice of shade depends on whether you need tinting or only transparent protection. The range of what you can buy from Hillary has two coverage options and two SPF levels.

The transparent option is suitable if makeup has already been applied. Tinted - for those who want to even out the face tone at the same time. Both options belong to the powder category. SPF 50+ is chosen for prolonged exposure to the sun (beach or hot walk). SPF 30+ is suitable for city life.

How to apply mineral powder with SPF during the day

The powder is applied to dry skin with a brush in light movements as the final stage of makeup. Before applying, make sure that the face is cleansed.

The skin is pre-prepared: remove makeup with products from the makeup remover category, cleanse with a gel or facial foam, finish with a facial tonic. For sensitive skin, the gentle care category is suitable. All this can be purchased from us.

Algorithm of actions:

1. Cleanse the skin and remove makeup residues.
2. Apply tonic, wait for the skin to dry completely.
3. Distribute sunscreen mineral powder with a brush all over the face.
4. Renew the layer every 1.5 hours in the sun.

Regular renewal of the layer is the main condition for the stable operation of physical filters. Without this step, the protection gradually weakens, even if the first application was thick.
