- Hydrate (Optional): Apply your favorite toner or lightweight serum.

Note: Already own a similar step? Finish what you have first to avoid waste (substitute, donโt stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
This sun stick is the final and most important step of your morning skincare routine to protect your skin from Mauritius's strong sun.
Minimalist Routine (3 steps):
- Cleanser: Wash your face to remove any impurities from overnight.
- Moisturiser (Optional): If you have very dry skin, apply a light moisturiser. For most, this sun stick is hydrating enough on its own.
- [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply generously as your primary sun protection.
Wait Times: Allow any previous layers to absorb for about 60 seconds before applying the sun stick to prevent pilling.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use โ AM:
- Amount: For full protection, swipe the stick back and forth across each area of your face (cheeks, forehead, nose, chin) at least 3-4 times. Don't forget your neck and ears. A single quick swipe is not enough.
- Apply to: Face, neck, and any other sun-exposed areas. The teardrop shape helps with application around the nose and eyes.
- Method: After applying, you can gently pat the product in for a seamless finish, especially before makeup.
- Frequency: Apply every morning, 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours, or more often after swimming or heavy sweating.
If-This / Then-That:
- Reapplying over makeup? Gently pat or swipe the stick over your makeup. It's formulated to cause minimal disruption.
- Skin feels a bit oily? This stick provides ample moisture. Try skipping your morning moisturiser and use this as your moisturiser-sunscreen combo.
- Have very dry skin? Apply over a lightweight hydrating serum or moisturiser to lock in extra moisture.
Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This is a daily protection product, essential for shielding your skin from UV damage, especially when using exfoliating acids or retinoids.
- Daily AM: Apply as the last step of your skincare routine, every single day.
- Reapplication: Reapply every 2 hours when in direct sun, or every 3-4 hours if mostly indoors.
Mauritius Note: With the high UV index year-round in Mauritius, daily application and reapplication are non-negotiable for preventing hyperpigmentation and premature aging.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate โ 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Skin feels hydrated, soothed, and comfortable with a non-greasy, velvety finish. You'll have immediate broad-spectrum UV protection.
- Within 2-4 weeks: With consistent daily use, you may notice your skin feels more balanced and hydrated due to the nourishing birch sap. Skin is reliably protected from daily UV-induced damage.
- After 8+ weeks: This is a preventative product. The long-term result is healthier skin with fewer signs of photoaging, such as dark spots, fine lines, and loss of elasticity, compared to unprotected skin.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Myth: "My foundation has SPF, so I don't need a separate sunscreen."
Reality (Why This is Better): To get the SPF rating listed on makeup, you would need to apply a very thick, cakey layerโfar more than anyone actually uses. This sun stick is designed for generous application to provide dedicated, reliable SPF 50+ protection. Its stick format also makes it incredibly easy to reapply throughout the day without disturbing your makeup, something that's impractical with a foundation.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: This sun stick layers beautifully over most water-based serums and lightweight moisturizers (like those containing Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, or Centella Asiatica). It also works well under and over most makeup for reapplication.
- Use Carefully With: Very heavy or oily creams. Applying this stick over a thick, occlusive cream may feel heavy and could cause pilling. Allow heavier products to fully absorb before application.
- Application Tip: For best results, apply to skin that is hydrated but not wet. Let your previous skincare steps sink in for a minute before gliding the sun stick on.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Dry to Normal Skin: Excellent. The birch sap and hyaluronic acid provide a welcome boost of moisture, leaving the skin feeling comfortable and hydrated all day.
- Combination to Oily Skin: Very good. The formula is non-greasy and leaves a soft, natural finish without adding excess shine. It's hydrating enough that many with oily skin can use it as their sole morning moisturizer.
- Sensitive Skin: Good. Round Lab is known for gentle formulations, and this stick is free of fragrance and common irritants. However, as with any new product, a patch test is always recommended.
- Acne-Prone Skin: Suitable. Its non-comedogenic and lightweight formula is unlikely to clog pores.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Sun Protection: Provides robust, broad-spectrum SPF 50+ PA++++ protection against UVA and UVB rays.
- Photoaging Prevention: Helps prevent the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots caused by sun exposure.
- Dehydration: Delivers a cooling dose of hydration with Birch Sap and Vita Hyaluronic Acid to keep skin plump and comfortable.
- Convenience: Offers mess-free, portable, and easy reapplication, making consistent sun protection effortless.

Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
-
Issue: It feels like it's not applying enough product.
Solution: Sun sticks require multiple passes to deposit a protective layer. Ensure you are swiping back and forth over each area 3-4 times. The smooth glide can be deceptive, so be generous with your application. -
Issue: The product is pilling or balling up.
Solution: This usually happens if you apply it over skincare that hasn't fully absorbed or is very occlusive. Wait at least a minute after your moisturiser before applying the sun stick. You can also try gently patting it in instead of rubbing. -
Issue: How do I keep the stick clean?
Solution: After use, you can gently wipe the surface of the stick with a clean, dry tissue before capping it. This is especially useful if you've applied it over makeup or sweaty skin.
