Avoid these Sunscreen Mistakes

Are you using sunscreen spray wrong? Avoid these 3 common mistakes for the best protection. ☀️🧴

Mistake #1: Spraying sunscreen too far away. If the floor is super slippery or you see a misty cloud in the air, most of the product is dispersing into the air, not on your skin, leaving you inadequately protected.

Mistake #2: Not using enough sunscreen. Measuring the correct amount of spray can be tough. It’s best to apply creams or lotions as your base layer and reserve sprays for easy reapplication. Keep in mind that with creams or lotions you need 1/4 teaspoon (2-3 finger lengths) for your face and neck, and a shot glass amount for your body. With sprays, you really need to be generous to saturate your skin. If you’re using the proper amount, the average sunscreen spray bottle lasts only ~6 applications.

Mistake #3: Not rubbing in your sunscreen. This happens often with sprays. Even distribution is key! Spraying into your hand first and then applying can help ensure all areas are protected.
