Body sunscreen FAQs

1. Should I use sunscreen on my body every day?

   An SPF 30 daily body sunscreen lotion or spray, which can protect against 97% of sun rays, should be worn on all exposed areas every day. When swimming or sweating, a water-resistant, broad-spectrum sunscreen should be applied regularly to avoid sunburn. The general recommendation is to reapply every two hours.

2. Which SPF rating is best?

   You might be surprised to learn that a high SPF doesn’t necessarily mean better protection. While a higher SPF can offer slightly more coverage, no sunscreen for body or face offers 100% protection. The general rule is to wear sunscreen with an SPF rating of 30 or greater. Another very important consideration to make is whether the sunscreen you’re using offers broad-spectrum protection, which protects against UVA and UVB light.

3. What’s the difference between chemical and mineral body sunscreen?

   There are two main types of sunscreen products: chemical and mineral (also known as physical sunscreen), and they both work in different ways.

   A chemical body sunscreen is absorbed into the skin, allowing it the ability to in turn absorb the sun’s rays, whereas mineral body sunscreen sits on top of the skin and deflects the sun’s rays away from the skin. Mineral body sunscreens are more popular for those with sensitive skin. There are also face and body sunscreens made with a combination of both sunscreen types.
