#FOUNDATIONHACK
Constantly battling shiny
skin, even after you’ve
applied your makeup? The
secret lies in your routine.
Instead of the standard order
of primer, foundation and
setting powder, try applying
another layer of setting
powder after your primer
and before your foundation.
It helps “bake” your primer
and absorbs any oil from
the foundation for a matte,
shine-free face all day.

Beat the Bloat
FEELING TOO FULL TO
DANCE FULL-OUT?
Try this simple stretch: Lie on
your back and pull your knees
into your chest, making sure to
keep your tailbone close to the
floor. Then, with your arms
resting on the floor in a “T”
shape, slowly release your knees
and twist them to one side while
keeping your shoulders as
straight as you can. Repeat on
the other side. You should feel
a slow, deep stretch and a
decrease in your bloat.

HERE COMES
the
The
Numbers Game
Asunscreen’s “sunburn
protection factor,” or
SPF, is often the first
thing people consider
when choosing a
sunscreen. But with
numbers ranging from
5 to 100+, it’s hard to
know what amount of
coverage you actually
need. According to the
Environmental Working
Group’s oficial
Sunscreen Guide, lots
of brands advertise
“misleading sky-high
SPF values” with no
evidence. While there
are over 60 sunscreens
available with an SPF of
70 or more, the bottom
line isthat sunscreens in
the 30–50 SPF range
provide ample coverage.
The More,
the Better
According to
the Skin Cancer
Foundation, you need
to apply a minimum
of 1 ounce of product
every two hours to
get its full SPF. (Think
the size of a plum.)
Most people stop at
around a quarter or
half of that amount.
Make sure you apply
your sunscreen
30 minutes before you
head outside, and
don’t miss your ears,
toes and under your
bathing suit.
Apply, and
Apply Again
You should aim to
reapply your sunscreen
every two hours.But if
you head straight for the
ocean or pool, it’s best
to apply another layer
immediately once you’re
done swimming. That’s
true even ifyour
sunscreen’s labeled
“water-resistant,” which
only means you’ll be
protected for about 40
minutes to an hour upon
entering the water.
According to the FDA,
no sunscreen is truly
waterproofand all
will quickly lose
effectiveness when
you’re swimming or
sweating.
Your burning sunscreen questions, answered
It’s the peak of summer, which means you’re probably spending
asmany long daysoutside in the sun asyou are in the studio. You might think
a quick mist of SPF 30 will do the trick, but there’s a lot more to that number—
and to sunscreen, in general. Here, we break down the sunscreen basics to
keep your sunkissed skin safe.
