Are you applying the right amount of sunscreen every day?
Introducing SAFESCREEN® Sunscreen scoop, an accessory designed to help you apply the right amount of sunscreen for maximum protection.
How much sunscreen is recommended to achieve the desired SPF?
Current data suggests applying about 2 mg of sunscreen per square centimetre of skin.
This recommendation may not be practical for everyone, and studies have shown that many people apply less sunscreen than recommended.
To help you use the right amount of sunscreen, we have developed a simple measuring scoop based on the Indian study by Srinivas et al., which determined the total quantity of sunscreen needed for both men and women in millilitres (ml).
Sunscreen scoop made just for you!
Based on the average area of the Indian male and female face from the above study, we determined the amount of SAFESCREEN® sunscreen needed to be approximately 1.3 ml for the face and hence the SAFESCREEN® measuring scoop is a practical solution to measure your sunscreen right!
How to measure and apply sunscreen using the SAFESCREEN® sunscreen scoop?
A single sunscreen scoop typically holds around 1.25- 1.3 ml(flat scoop) of SAFESCREEN® sunscreen, making it adequate to cover the face. You can also find the specific recommendations for using this sunscreen measuring scoop below,
For Women:
A flat scoop (levelling off the contents so they're even with the top) would be sufficient for the face. For the neck area, one-third to half the flat scoop would be adequate.
For Men:
If you are someone who doesn’t apply sunscreen on the beard area, a flat scoop would be sufficient for the face. Half of this would be adequate for the neck.
For men looking to cover their entire face, including the beard area, add approximately 1/4th more of the recommended quantity.
Please note: There may be mild variations between individuals due to the difference in area, but this doesn’t significantly affect the SPF of the sunscreen.
SAFESCREEN® sunscreen scoop is an accessory that measures the right quantity of sunscreen for each application to meet the current sunscreen application guidelines. By applying SAFESCREEN® using this scoop, you can achieve the expected SPF, ensuring maximum sun protection.
Fill the scoop with your favourite SAFESCREEN® sunscreen. If it's a pump based sunscreen like Brigade Road, you may need to dispense 5 to 6 pumps to fill the scoop, but if you use tube based sunscreen like NEXGEN, you can directly squeeze into the scoop until it fills the edge of its mouth. Now apply the sunscreen in dots all over your face and massage gently for the sunscreen to settle on your skin. You can also apply in layers for even coverage.
Yes, make sure to clean this sunscreen scoop after every use so that you can reuse it for as long as desired.
The sunscreen scoop roughly holds 1.25- 1.3 ml of SAFESCREEN® sunscreen, which is adequate for the Indian face for a single application.
You can clean the sunscreen scoop with a clean cloth or tissue after use. You can wash it in clean water and pat dry with a cloth.
When storing the sunscreen scoop, make sure to keep it in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
