Can you apply sunscreen over makeup?

Dr. Perricone,

I know that a person needs to apply an ounce of sunscreen over their entire body to get the level of protection that their sunscreen says it will provide. My question is how much does a person need to apply specifically to their face? Is there an easy way to measure, I can never be quite sure.

Thanks so much.

I am curious. There is no way on earth I am about to take off all my make up every 2 hours to re-apply my sunscreen. Should I just not even bother with it if I am only going to apply it in the morning under make up? I have been using a product by La Roche- Posay, athelios sx with meroxyl. I live in Vancouver and so the sun isn’t so terrible here most of the year. If I only apply once daily how much protection am I even getting? Will age much better, enough to pay $30 a month for a tube of sunscreen?

Please and thanks so much for your response and consideration.

I wanted to know what Dr. P. thinks about the magic Tan (DHA) spray tans? Are they OK for the skin?
