We've Got Answers

How Long Does Sunscreen Last?

Sunscreen can lose its potency over time, especially if it’s been exposed to heat or direct sunlight. The FDA says sunscreens must either have an expiration date or be proven to stay effective for at least three years. If your bottle doesn’t have a date, you’reprobably good for about three years unlessit’s been hanging out in a hot car or beach bag. Changes in smell, color, or texture are red flags thatit's gone bad. When in doubt, toss it and grab a new one.

How Often Should You Apply Sunscreen?

Sunscreen isn’t a one-and-done deal. You’ll want to apply it about 15 minutes before heading outside, and then reapply every two hours—especially if you’re swimming, sweating, or toweling off. Even water-resistant formulas wear off with time, so keep that bottle handy. If you’re mostly indoors, one morning application might be enough, but if the sun’s part of your day,don’tunderestimate the power of the re-apply. Think of it like hydration for your skin—your first layer gets things started, but keeping it going is what really keeps you covered.

What Is the Difference Between Sunscreen and Sunblock?

Sunscreen and sunblock both help protect your skin from UV damage, but they go about it in different ways. Sunscreen (also called non-mineral or chemical sunscreen) absorbs into your skin and filters UV rays before they can cause harm. Sunblock (aka mineral sunscreen) sits on top of your skin and physically blocks those rays, like a tiny shield. Sunblock usually includes ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and may be a better pick for sensitive skin. Both work—you just gotta pick what feels best for you. We’ve got options either way.

Which Is the First Thing You Should Look for in Sunscreen?

Start with the label—look for broad-spectrum protection. That means the sunscreen helps block both UVA rays (which can age your skin) and UVB rays (the ones that burn). Next up, check the SPF. We recommend SPF 30 or higher for solid everyday coverage. And if you’re swimming or working up a sweat, make sure it’s water-resistant (good for either 40 or 80 minutes). After that, it’s all about what feels good on your skin—lotion, spray, stick, whatever fits your style. But broad-spectrum? That’sthe non-negotiable.
