Cleaning and sharing a sun stick

Do you need to clean a sun stick after use? Like wiping off with a tissue? And what if you apply over makeup? Would you ever share you sun stick with someone else?

I never share products that directly touch the skin such as sun sticks, lip creams, lipsticks, to other people, because in my opinion products like these are products for individual use, cleanliness must always be considered, especially during a pandemic like this, because hygiene must always be prioritized

I've never tried sticks before but I would never share it to anyone else if ever I use one.

i clean my sun stick after every use with a tissue. but if I dont have a tissue with my.. i just wipe it on the back of my hand. I used my sunstick yesterday and I was wearing a bb cream and concealer.. and it didnt smudge that much. and if so, i would carry and sponge or something with me cos wearing SPF is more important. i dont like sharing these kind of products because of bacteria.. but I do when people ask for it.. its hard to say no and I dont want them to get a sun burn ☹️

Sunsticks are a must have for me, makes reapplying spf easier whenever I'm outside. Yes you have to clean a sunstick before and after every use, you can wipe it off with a tissue or use wet wipes, it's up to you. Most of the sunsticks I use were okay to be used over make up specially if I just use light make up. I never share a sunstick that I use specifically for my face, but I share a sunstick if it's one that I use for my body. Here are some sunsticks that I am currently using.

I do clean sun stick after use - I use isopropyl alcohol on a tissue and clean it to make sure I won't transfer bacteria - the same ways are used at stores and by professionals. I would never share sun stick just like I don't share deo sticks, mascaras, nail polishes, lipsticks and any product which can easily transfer bacteria. My mom had demodex because esthetician didn't clean the tools properly so it taught me to be super careful with sharing products
