Innovation and Versatility
As Rea Ann Silva, Founder & CEO of , shares, “Innovation is always top of mind when developing products, especially in the makeup/tools industry! We have always known the beneficial results of applying sunscreen with Beautyblender. With the rise of the importance of sun protection, I’ve encouraged our consumers to expand out of the ‘traditional ways’ of using the Beautyblender sponge. Now it’s catching on as mothers and children have been using a Beautyblender to apply SPF. Bouncing it is fun. I believe that taking advantage of Beautyblender’s multi-use properties will not only simplify our daily skincare routines but also increase the effectiveness of our skincare and makeup application!”
How does the unique design of Beautyblender enhance the application of sunscreen compared to traditional methods?
Using a to apply your sunscreen allows for a more even, streak-free application. Because the product is created with exclusive aqua-activated™ material, your favorite products land on your skin, not your sponge. As you bounce the sponge on your skin, you get an even application of sunscreen. Additionally, your hands aren’t left with any sticky residue.
With toddlers, we’ve found that they love applying it themselves when you put sunscreen on a Beautyblender and let them bounce it on their face.
Could you share some tips or techniques for applying sunscreen with a Beautyblender to ensure even coverage and maximum protection?
For even coverage and maximum protection, it’s crucial to wet your Beautyblender and squeeze out all of the excess water. This prevents any product from being absorbed by the sponge and allows for maximum coverage and UV protection. Apply the product directly to your face, or the back of your hand, and use the sponge to disperse and blend the product evenly on your face. We love KORA’s Silky Sun Drops 100% Mineral Sunscreen Serum because it’s makeup-friendly, and using a Beautyblender helps create that even distribution.
How does using a Beautyblender for sunscreen application benefit the skin, particularly in terms of absorption and protection?
Beautyblender has always been known as makeup’s best friend; now it’s sunscreen’s best friend too. Not only does the tool help you achieve a more even application, but it’s also perfect for re-applying and touching up your SPF throughout the day. With a damp Beautyblender, gently bounce the product on top of your complexion – it won’t ruin your makeup base!
Sunscreen can be quite sticky; how should one clean their Beautyblender after using it with sunscreen to maintain its efficacy?
Always be sure to cleanse your Beautyblender thoroughly with our or . This cleanses and removes excess dirt and oils to keep your Beautyblender in good condition.
What is your personal routine for applying sunscreen with a Beautyblender? Do’s? Don’ts?
Do’s:
- Ensure your Beautyblender has been cleansed properly before using

- Apply all products with a gentle bouncing motion
Don’ts:
- Use a dry Beautyblender – this leads to product absorption (aka wasted product!)
