What to Consider When Choosing Sun Cream?

First, determine the SPF level you need. For everyday use in cities or cloudy days, an SPF 30 may be enough, but for prolonged beach time or outdoor sports, SPF 50+ provides higher protection. Look for broad-spectrum protection that shields against both UVA and UVB rays, reducing sunburn risk and photoaging. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, consider fragrance-free and hypoallergenic sun cream options to minimize irritation.

Next, decide on the type of application. Sunscreen lotion tends to be versatile and easy to spread, while sunscreen spray offers quick coverage for active days, just follow the label for proper use. For refreshingly portable protection, try a sun cream stick or a tinted sunscreen that doubles as makeup, delivering UVA/UVB coverage with a touch of color. If you prefer natural ingredients, explore mineral sun cream (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) for a physical barrier on the skin, which many people associate with less chemical exposure.

Water resistance is key for swimming, sweating, or outdoor workouts. Look for labels like water-resistant or very water-resistant to ensure protection during activity. Also consider reef-safe sun cream formulas if you’re swimming in oceans or near sensitive marine life, and check for non-nano minerals if you have concerns about nanoparticle exposure.

For facial protection, a face sunscreen that absorbs well without clogging pores is ideal. If you want to simplify your routine, a tinted sunscreen can replace foundation while keeping your skin protected. And don’t forget sunscreen for kids with gentle, fragrance-free options designed for young, delicate skin.

What Are the Most Popular Types of Sun Cream?

Lotion sunscreens remain the workhorse for everyday use, offering broad coverage and easy layering under makeup. Sun cream sprays are favored for outdoor activities where quick reapplication is convenient, especially on the arms and back. For targeted protection, sunscreen sticks are handy on the face, ears, and around the nose, providing precise control without a heavy finish. Mineral sunscreens, using zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, are popular among those seeking a physical barrier and potential options for sensitive skin.

Tinted sunscreens combine sun protection with a hint of color, offering a lightweight alternative to foundation while delivering broad-spectrum SPF coverage. Lip protection is also essential, so many shoppers opt for lip sunscreen or SPF lip balm to shield the delicate lips. For children, look for kids sunscreen formulas that are gentle and easy to apply. When shopping, you’ll see the distinction between chemical sunscreen (absorbs UV) and physical/mineral sunscreen (reflects UV), so choose based on skin type and preference.

Additional considerations include fragrance-free options for sensitive skin, after sun lotion or gel for soothing relief after sun exposure, and seasonal packs that combine sunscreen with beach accessories or after-sun care. Our Wowcher UK deals bring you variety and value across all these formats, ensuring you can keep your entire family protected all summer long.

How to Apply Sun Cream Correctly?

Apply generously to clean, dry skin about 15 to 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every two hours, or more often if swimming, sweating, or toweling off. For the face, use a pea-sized amount and blend evenly across the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Don’t forget sensitive areas like the ears and the back of the neck. If you’re wearing makeup, opt for a light sunscreen with a sheer finish to avoid pilling.

Make sunscreen a daily habit, even on cloudy days, because up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate cloud cover. For outdoor activities, consider sweat- and water-resistant formulas that stay put during exercise. Always choose a product that suits your skin type, oily, dry, or combination skin may benefit from different textures such as gel-based or lotion-based sun creams. With our broad range of sunscreen options, you’ll find the right balance of protection and comfort.

Is Sun Cream Safe for Kids and Sensitive Skin?

Yes, many sun creams are formulated specifically for children and sensitive skin. Look for kids sunscreen with gentle, non-irritating ingredients and fragrance-free formulas. Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide are a popular choice for sensitive skin because they create a physical barrier on the skin’s surface. Always test a small patch first to ensure there is no irritation, and apply liberally before sun exposure. For families, choosing a sunscreen that comes in kid-friendly packaging and easy-to-use formats, sprays, sticks, or lotions, can make sun protection part of the daily routine rather than a chore.

Beyond protection, consider environmental impact. Look for reef-safe sun cream options that avoid harming coral reefs, and select brands that disclose ingredient lists clearly. By balancing skin health, practicality, and environmental responsibility, you can enjoy sunny days with confidence.
