So be sure to skip thesalicylic acidbefore and after beach day.

Waterproofing products as much as possible with a little bit of powder goes a long way, says Dresher.

Layering cream and powder products is the best way to ensure longevity and endurance.
For a double-duty product, consider setting with an SPF-spiked powder like those by Colorescience.
Their powders are by far my favorite to help set makeup, says Dr. Turner.
It really makes makeup resilient, she says.
It also feels really refreshing in the heat.
Here’s how my makeup held up.

They make SPF-spiked versions of setting spray too.
This SPF mist works to set makeup but also to help reapply SPF throughout the day.
It also contains optical-diffusing silica silylate which helps to absorb excess oil.

For more SPF, consider Vacation’sGlamour-approved Super Spritz Broad Spectrum.

As for how often to do that?

Remember to reapply per the sunscreen label recommendation or at least every two hours, says Dr. Turner.
