While many cosmetics now contain some level of sunscreen, and mineral makeup contains natural sun protecting ingredients, be sure to check the package to make sure the product contains an adequate level of protection. SPF 15 or higher is generally recommended by dermatologists for any facial application. When using a foundation with sunscreen be sure to cover your entire face, your neck and ears. Remember that most makeup products are not waterproof; perspiration and water remove them.
