We've Got Answers

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.

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.

Are You Supposed to Rub in Spray Sunscreen?

Spraying it on is a great first step, but for the best protection, it’s important to rub it in. Just like blending your moisturizer, this ensures even coverage and helps your skin absorb it properly. A quick swipe with your hands prevents missed spots and uneven protection, so you’re fully covered from head to toe. Taking a few extra seconds to smooth it in makes all the difference—your skin will thank you later.

Are Sunscreen Sticks Effective?

Oh yeah, they get the job done. Sunscreen sticks work just as well as lotions, sprays, or gels—but they come with way less hassle. No spills, no drips, just straight-up sun protection exactly where you need it. Since the formula is solid, it grips your skin (in a good way), making it perfect for targeted coverage—think nose, cheeks, shoulders, and anywhere else that soaks up the sun. As long as you’re rocking the right SPF and reapplying when needed, you’re golden.
