What does a water- resistant and perspiration-proof mean?
A product is tested underwater on a human subject and immersed in moving water for 80 minutes. The SPF is then tested. In the case of Jane Iredale makeup, it maintained its SPF and, therefore, acquired a “very water resistant” rating. Thus If you are perspiring heavily or swimming or you’ve been caught in the rain, don’t wipe your face with the towel -just pat it. You may remove a small amount of the makeup, but the majority will stay on the skin.
