A brief video clip stating that ordinary makeup does not provide SPF (sun protection factor) unless the product has been specifically tested and regulated (e.g., FDA-reviewed). The speaker warns that applying extra makeup, powder, or blush will not protect the skin from the sun.

Makeup alone does not offer SPF coverage. In order for something to have SPF coverage, it has to go through a lot of testing in order for that to be proven, especially if it is regulated by the fda. And you have to make sure that your products are. But makeup alone, just like the sake of putting on a lot of blush or a lot of powder, is not going to protect your face from the sun. Thank you. Welcome.
