What to look for in sport face sunscreen

Choosing the right sport face sunscreen ensures you stay protected during intense outdoor activities.

1. Broad-Spectrum Protection

Look for sunscreens labeled as 'broad-spectrum' to shield your skin from both UVA and UVB rays, which can cause sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer.

2. Water and Sweat Resistance

Sport sunscreens should be water- and sweat-resistant, ideally lasting at least forty to eighty minutes during vigorous activity or swimming.

3. Non-Comedogenic Formula

Since facial skin is more prone to breakouts, choose a non-comedogenic sunscreen that won’t clog pores or cause irritation.

4. Texture and Finish

Opt for lightweight, non-greasy formulas that absorb quickly without leaving a white cast. This ensures comfort and won’t interfere with your performance.
