Sunscreen spray is a type of sunscreen that comes in the form of a spray mist. This is unlike traditional sunblock which has to be applied on the skin. Sunscreen spray also eliminates any need for an applicator or a towel because it can be applied by spraying it all over your body in seconds.
This type of sunscreen is often an ideal solution for outdoors sports such as surfing, where you may want to apply sun protection without having to stop what you are doing and go into the water, putting on clothes and sitting out of the direct sunlight, or applying lotion manually before getting back into the water again.
Benefits of sunscreen spray
1. Apply directly onto your skin
Since it comes in a spray mist, the sunscreen can be applied directly onto the skin without any application of a towel or an applicator. The sprays are small enough to eliminate any need for applying it on areas of your skin that are hard to reach, such as on the back. This can help you reduce the amount of time that you have to spend applying sunscreen and also ensure that you get complete coverage of all possible sun exposed areas of your body.
2. Easy readjustment
The sunscreen spray can also be easily readjusted without having to start from scratch as there is no residue left from the previous application. However, before you start using it again, it is recommended that you wash your hands or the area that you want to apply the sunscreen on with soap and water.
3. Less product needed
Using a sunscreen spray instead of a traditional one will help you save on product because it only needs to be applied once. This is important since one application can cover more body parts than two applications with a traditional lotion or cream, which can require more product to be applied overall.
4. Protection lasts longer
The sunscreen spray will not interrupt your outdoor activities as you can continue using it until it is time for reapplication. This is unlike traditional sunblock which you have to apply in small doses throughout the day and is usually more product-intensive because of this. Even if you are still feeling hot after putting on sunscreen, the spray form will not block your pores and cause sweat to build up, making it less likely for the sun protection to be washed off.
