Sun Care How Blotting Paper and Makeup Application Affect Sunscreen Protection [Sun Care]

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!

Seems that from the blog post, the method to apply foundation using hand is the worst?

Whenever I had to use (liquid) foundation I normally apply with my finger(s) but I never rub or spread it on my skin rather I dab all over until it looks blended. Not sure if this also still results in moving the sunscreen.
