When it comes to women and their faces, they are persistent about keeping it as flawless as possible. So when women have to compromise wearing makeup for extra sunscreen protection, some women opt out.

Debra Atkinson, esthetician and skincare technician at The Skin Care Center, said women shouldn’t have to choose. They can have both.

“Most women don’t wear sunscreen because their makeup doesn’t go on over it smoothly,” Atkinson said. “Most makeups have SPF15. So you’re kind of laying on protection.”

Atkinson said it is also important for women to shop for a sunscreen that has UVB provide protection against the burning rays. The products with UVA protect against aging rays.
