Directions
1. OPEN
Remove the brush cap, slide the sleeve down, and take off the rubber band. Discard the rubber band and place the cap back on.
2. ACTIVATE
With the cap still on and facing downward, firmly tap the brush 3–5 times against a hard surface to activate the powder. Remove the cap and run your finger over the bristles to check for powder flow. If needed, repeat the tapping until you see a light puff of powder when touching the bristles.
3. APPLY
Apply to dry, bare skin, moisturized skin, or over makeup using gentle circular motions. Sweep generously across your entire face for about 60 seconds, making multiple passes. Don’t forget areas like your ears, neck, and décolleté. To release more powder, shake the brush with the bristles pointing down or recap and tap as needed. When applying over moisturizer, primer, or liquid foundation, wait until the products are fully absorbed or set. Reapply every two hours for continuous sun protection.

FAQs
1. How many passes do I need to apply to achieve maximum sun protection?
To achieve full SPF 50 coverage, two passes around the face is recommended.
2. How long does is take to prime or activate the brush?
For first-time use, keep the cap on and hold the brush with the bristles facing downward. Firmly tap it against a hard surface 3–5 times to help release the powder—don’t be afraid to use a little force! Remove the cap and run your finger through the bristles to check if the powder is dispensing. If needed, repeat the tapping process until you see a faint puff of powder in the air. You may need to do this a few times before the product begins to flow properly.
