UVA, UVB, broad-spectrum, chemical, mineral, hybrid, SPF… Buying sunscreen can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! 😵💫
Here are a few things you should consider when buying and applying sunscreen:
- Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that will protect you against both UVA and UVB
- SPF 30 is best for everyday use, but consider a higher SPF when doing outdoor activities
- Chemical or mineral, choose a sunscreen that offers good protection and that you like
- Apply 15 mins before sun exposure and every 2 hrs after that
- You will need around 7 teaspoons to cover an adult body (Yes, that much!)
