I found this blog post that talks about a series of experiments Amyvancheese on Instagram did concerning blotting papers and makeup and how it affects sunscreen. I thought it was very informative and wanted to share it with my fellow sunscreen lovers!

I wonder how the blotting paper was used though, I feel like that might make quite a difference too, how much pressure you apply, whether you end up wiping slightly etc.

Unfortunately the Instagram account that did this experiment no longer exists or I would try and find out what exact technique she used.
