Knowing your sunscreen is very important, whether you're planning to hit the beach, or just having a stroll during this summer season. There are various types of sunscreens that are best suited for different purposes.
Below are 5 different sunscreen formulas.
1. Lotions + Creams
Expect a thick, smooth layer of sunblock — in other words, the most complete protection of the bunch.
Use them: When at the beach for a day.
2. Foams + Mousses
Aerated lotions go on in a thin film and dry quickly. No stickiness while you dress!
Use them: Every morning.
3. Gels + Oils
These transparent sunscreens give skin a pretty sheen. They spread easily, too!
Use them: Before outdoor parties.
4. Sprays
They aren't enough to use as a base, but they're fine when layered over lotion. (Don't spray near your face.)
Use them: For touch-ups
5. Sticks + Balms
Because they're wax-based, these sunscreens stay put on ears, scalp, and lips.
Use them: For small burn-prone spots
