Lotions

Sunscreen lotion is that smooth, easygoing sidekick your skin didn’t know it needed. It’s a lightweight formula that glides on easily and soaks in fast with no greasy after-feel. Sunscreen lotion helps shield your skin from harmful UV rays while keeping things breezy, whether you’re catching a sunrise surf or just walking to grab a smoothie. It’s kind of the everyday essential we always reach for before stepping into the sun.

How Do You Choose Sunscreen Lotion?

First up: check that it’s broad-spectrum and SPF 30 or higher. That’s your baseline. If you’ve got dry skin, look for hydrating ingredients. Sensitive? Go fragrance-free. And if you’re headed into the water, make sure it’s water-resistant. The best sunscreen is the one you’llactually want to wear—so find one that feels good on your skin and fits seamlessly into your daily scene.

Which Is Better, Sunscreen Lotion or Cream?

It depends on what your skin’s into. Sunscreen lotion is usually lighter, so it spreads easier and feels less sticky—great for everyday use or when you're on the go. Creams are thicker and more moisturizing, which makes them a solid pick for dry or sensitive skin. Both get the job done, so it really comes down to how your skin vibes with the texture.

How Often Should You Apply Sunscreen Lotion?

Every couple hours is the sweet spot. Sunscreen breaks down over time (especially if you're swimming, sweating, or drying off), so reapplying every two hours keeps your skin protected and happy. Keep a bottle nearby—beach bag, car, backpack, whatever—so you can take your skincare and suncare to-go. Your skin will thank you.
