Brilio.net - For those who have high mobility and often move from place to place, you definitely have mandatory items that are always in your bag. One item that is not left behind is skincare and makeup. Carrying beauty products when traveling can be considered a hassle, especially if the packaging is large.

Apart from adding to the carrying load, these large products also take up a lot of space. To get around this, many people choose to transfer their skincare to a smaller jar. One skincare product that is often carried and moved is sunscreen.

Not only that, sometimes there are people who stock sunscreen in large quantities. This may be done so that you don't run out of product when you need it. However, it turns out, this habit gives rise to pros and cons on TikTok social media.

"Transferring skincare products to new packaging is not really recommended," said the account @hungryforskincare, quoted by briliobeauty.net , Friday (31/5).

Based on the explanation from the YouTube channel @LabMuffinBeautyScience, the first reason is because the new container is at risk of being exposed to dust and debris even though it has been cleaned. Not only that, new places are also at risk of containing spores or fungi that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

The second reason is that the original sunscreen container has been formulated for the various ingredients contained in it. Well, the contents of the glass or plastic container can affect how the sunscreen works.

"Sunscreen ingredients seep into the plastic of the screen, so the sunscreen won't work properly," he said.

The third reason is that the texture of sunscreen can change. So it doesn't just affect the ingredients, the liquid texture of sunscreen can also harden because the sunscreen formulation is influenced by the packaging.

Sunscreen is one of the skincare products that is relied on to maintain the beauty of facial skin. Not only does it provide protection, sunscreen is also effective in preventing aging and making your face brighter. Well, you can get all these benefits if you use sunscreen correctly. Here are some tips for using sunscreen so you can get the benefits:

1. Use before doing outdoor activities
2. Choose sunscreen with a high SPF when outdoors
3. Use after moisturizer
4. Repeat the use of sunscreen every two hours
5. Use enough, namely two knuckles.
