Everything You Need to Know About Wearing a Face Mask and Sunscreen

Dr. Barbara Sturm, founder and CEO of Dr. Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics, recommends her clients wear sunscreen under their masks for several reasons. She points out that cloth masks have a SPF of around seven, "which is well below what skin needs to be fully protected from the sun." Sturm also notes that people tend to wear masks loosely and pull them down in certain cases, which leaves skin completely exposed to damaging UVA rays.
