Tips on how to buy Sunscreens online

A good sunscreen protects your skin, and this is no secret. However, there’s a lot of information to keep track of, when you’re buying the sunscreens online. By now you must’ve figured out that sunscreens aren’t one-size-fits-all product. You’ll find so many types of sun blocks out there, as different people have distinct sun block needs. Some may just need it for everyday use, while others want to buy a water-resistant options. Either way, here are a few useful tips that’ll help you in buying sunscreen for men and women.

  • Know your skin type – Many sun block lotions, sprays, and creams have been specifically designed to help those with oily, dry, and sensitive skin. Therefore, you should consider your skin type before buying the sunscreens. For example, people with dry skin should consider buying the sunscreens with glycerine, lanolin, oils, and silicones.
  • Keep an eye on the protection level – The degree of protection is important to consider when it comes to sunscreens, as not all of them offer similar protection. You typically measure the protection rate in SPF. Sun blocks with higher SPFs are better for the fair skinned or those who burn easily. The American academy of dermatology recommends a minimum of SPF 30 for all the product.
  • Choose between filter types – Typically, you’ll find two type of sunscreen to pick from – the chemical sun blocks and the physical. Chemical sunscreens are those that absorb harmful UV rays before they reach your skin. On the other hand, physical sun blocks form a barrier on your skin that reflects or filters UVA and UVB rays. You can choose between them, as per your requirements.
  • Know the key ingredients – A quick look at the ingredients of the sun block creams, lotions, or sprays can help you make sure your have the right coverage and best quality you need. You’ll have to ensure that you pick a broad spectrum cream so that it protects both UVA and UVB rays. Try avoiding creams with ingredients like oxybenzone, as it may cause allergic reactions.
  • Look at the durability – Durability is basically how long the cream, spray or lotion stays on your skin. It also means the water-resistance capacity of the product. Try and pick a cream that has higher water-resisting capacity. This way, you need to use too much of the product. Plus, you also need not re-apply every time you’re exposed to the water.
  • Select your finish – Do like a sunscreen spray or a lotion? Perhaps you prefer a usual cream formula. Remember, always choose a texture that you’re comfortable applying on. Every form has its pros and cons. Some might be great for oily skin, while others might offer you moisturizing effect and helps you use them on a dry skin. Choose your finish accordingly.
  • Consider stocking up – You wouldn’t be able to get all the protection you need if you do not apply them on time or re-apply them. Typically, you should apply the sunscreens every two hours. And most people need to apply at least one ounce at a time. And most of the creams expire after two years. So, when buying try to plan out how much you’ll use them. If possible buy them in bulk.
  • Settle in for a budget – Every sunscreen is different. It comes with different formula, various ingredients, textures, and features. Therefore, you’ll find them at different price tags too. You’ll find both expensive and cheap sunscreen for face. The price range also depends on the brands and place from where you buy them. Thus, set a budget before you begin your search.

There you have it—the secret tips to get the best sunscreen online. Although, the tips above guide you towards your ideal sunblock cream, lotions and sprays, it’s best to stick to your personal choice. In short, pick a sun block that you enjoy wearing. That’s because, it enhances the chances of actually using it for skin protection. Having a sunscreen that checks all the boxes above but is unpleasant to wear, isn’t worth the money. So be careful while choosing your product.
