What to look for in body sunscreen

Selecting the right body sunscreen ensures effective sun protection and comfort during outdoor activities.

1. SPF Level

Choose a sunscreen with an SPF of at least SPF30 for everyday use, and consider higher SPFs (like SPF50) for extended outdoor exposure or sensitive skin.

2. Broad-Spectrum Protection

Look for sunscreens labeled 'broad-spectrum' to protect against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays, ensuring comprehensive defense from sun damage.

3. Texture and Finish

Consider whether you prefer a lightweight lotion, hydrating cream, fast-absorbing gel, or spray formula. The right texture ensures comfortable wear without feeling greasy or sticky.

4. Water Resistance

If you’ll be swimming or sweating, opt for a water-resistant formula that maintains its protective power for up to the time specified on the label—usually either forty or eighty minutes.
