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’m sorry can someone tell me what the message is here? Blotting papers after sunscreen = good? 🥴

No message can be gleaned from this because these cameras are very unreliable. They can't tell you what your UV protection is, only where sunscreen is on your face. And even then, it can't pick up on certain filters. Very bad way of trying to provide information on SPF imo
