How to Use Beet The Sun SPF 40 PA+++ for Maximum Sun Protection

Sun protection is the most important step in any skincare routine, but using sunscreen correctly can be tricky. Beet The Sun SPF 40 PA+++ is a lightweight, mineral-based sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection without a white cast. However, to get the full SPF 40 PA+++ protection, you need to apply it the right way.

In this guide, we’ll cover everything from how much sunscreen to use to how it fits into your daily routine. Whether you’re new to mineral sunscreen or just want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your KraveBeauty products, these tips will help you stay protected all day.

Why Beet The Sun SPF 40 PA+++ Stands Out

Beet The Sun SPF 40 PA+++ is a mineral sunscreen that uses non-nano zinc oxide to create a physical barrier against UVA and UVB rays. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb UV rays, mineral sunscreens reflect them away from your skin. This makes Beet The Sun a great choice for sensitive skin or anyone looking for a more natural approach to sun protection.

The formula is also enriched with beet root extract and other antioxidants, which help soothe and protect the skin while you’re out in the sun. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and blends in without leaving a chalky residue. For best results, pair it with a gentle cleanser like the Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser to remove it thoroughly at the end of the day.

• Non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum protection
• Beet root extract for antioxidant benefits
• No white cast—blends seamlessly into most skin tones

How to Apply Beet The Sun SPF 40 PA+++ Correctly

To get the full SPF 40 PA+++ protection, you need to apply enough product. The general rule is to use about a quarter teaspoon (roughly 1.2 grams) for your face and another quarter teaspoon for your neck. Don’t skimp—using less than the recommended amount can drastically lower the SPF you actually get.

Start with clean, moisturized skin. If you use a moisturizer, wait a minute or two before applying sunscreen. Squeeze a generous amount of Beet The Sun onto your fingertips and dot it across your forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and neck. Then gently pat and blend it in using upward strokes. Avoid rubbing too hard, as that can disturb the protective film.

• Use a quarter teaspoon for face and another for neck
• Apply after moisturizer, before makeup
• Pat and blend—don’t rub vigorously

When and How Often to Reapply

Sunscreen isn’t a one-and-done step. Beet The Sun SPF 40 PA+++ provides protection for about two hours of direct sun exposure. If you’re indoors near a window or working under artificial light, you can stretch it to four hours. But if you’re sweating, swimming, or touching your face, reapply sooner.

For easy reapplication, you can use a small amount of Beet The Sun and gently press it onto your skin over makeup. Alternatively, if you wear minimal makeup, you can wash your face and reapply from scratch. Keep a travel-sized sunscreen in your bag so you never miss a touch-up.

• Reapply every two hours when outdoors
• Reapply after swimming, sweating, or towel drying
• Pat over makeup to avoid disturbing your look

Layering Beet The Sun with Other Skincare Products

Sunscreen should always be the last step in your morning skincare routine, right before makeup. If you use serums or moisturizers, apply them first and let them absorb for a minute. Then apply Beet The Sun SPF 40 PA+++ as your protective base.

For a complete routine, start with the Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser, follow with a treatment like the 24 Carrot Retinal at night (not in the morning, as retinoids can increase sun sensitivity), and then moisturize. In the morning, just cleanse, treat with an antioxidant serum if you like, moisturize, and finish with Beet The Sun.

• Apply sunscreen as the final step before makeup
• Avoid mixing sunscreen with other products—apply in layers
• Use a separate moisturizer if your skin needs extra hydration

Common Mistakes to Avoid

One of the biggest mistakes people make is not applying enough sunscreen. A thin layer won’t give you the full SPF 40 PA+++ protection. Another common error is forgetting the ears, back of the neck, and the tops of your feet—these areas are often exposed and can burn easily.

Also, don’t rely on makeup with SPF alone. Foundation or powder with SPF rarely provides enough coverage because you don’t apply enough of it. Always use a dedicated sunscreen like Beet The Sun as your base, and let your makeup SPF be a bonus, not a replacement.

• Don’t use less than a quarter teaspoon for your face
• Don’t forget your ears, neck, and hands
• Don’t rely on makeup SPF—use a dedicated sunscreen

How to Remove Beet The Sun at the End of the Day

Mineral sunscreens like Beet The Sun SPF 40 PA+++ are water-resistant and can be stubborn to remove. A gentle double cleanse works best. Start with an oil-based cleanser to break down the sunscreen and any makeup, then follow with a water-based cleanser like the Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser to remove any remaining residue.

This two-step process ensures your pores stay clear and your skin is ready for nighttime treatments. If you wear heavy makeup or waterproof sunscreen, consider using a dedicated cleansing balm or oil before your regular cleanser.

• Double cleanse: oil cleanser first, then water-based cleanser
• Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser is a great second step
• Avoid harsh scrubbing—be gentle to protect your skin barrier

Getting the most out of your sunscreen is all about proper application and reapplication. With Beet The Sun SPF 40 PA+++, you get reliable mineral protection that feels comfortable on the skin.
