Peeps, let the sun do no harm to your skin (both face and body). Yes, it’s a well-known fact that the scorching Indian summer can wreak havoc on our skin — both body and face. And although we’ve addressed how to care for our faces quite a few times, the body rarely gets the attention it deserves. But that’s no longer the case. So we dug deep into the core of that one big promise made by sunscreen companies: some are better for the face, while others solely work for the body. It turns out that we should have believed the hype. Continue reading to learn why.
What Makes Facial Sunscreen Different From Body Sunscreen?
You must consider your requirements, in order to respond to the question “can you apply body sunscreen on your face?” The type of skin you have, ultimately determines whether you can apply the same sunscreen that you use on your body to your face.
Identical to facial moisturisers, sunscreen products for the face typically has a different formulation than body moisturisers. Unlike the skin on your body, the skin on your face is constantly exposed to the environment. Furthermore, some of the most fragile skin can be found there, such as the area around your eyes. The greatest contemporary facial sunscreens are made to the same exacting specifications as skincare products. They have textures that are lighter and easier to absorb than sunscreens for the body and are made to be comfortable to wear on the face. Numerous top-notch face sunscreens are…
- Face sunscreens feel lighter than body ones when applied.
- The texture is not greasy.
- Facial sunscreens are formulated in such a way that they do not clog pores.
- High SPF with a broad-spectrum protection.
- Facial sunscreens usually do not contain perfumes.
- There’s one meant for each skin type
Here’s Why You Need To Use A Different Sunscreen For Your Body
The solution to this topic is complex, just like the answer to the question “Can you use body sunscreen on your face?” Although face sunscreen can potentially be applied to the body, it usually isn’t packed for usage in such vast quantities. Because it is designed to cover a lesser area of skin than body sunscreen, face sunscreen usually comes in a much smaller bottle. Therefore, if you apply face sunscreen to your body, the container may run out extremely quickly, and you’ll have to keep buying more.
Conclusion:
The purpose of implementing these suggestions is that they are also better for your body overall, from the neck down. Avoiding comedogenic products results in smoother skin all over, even protection, and fewer body breakouts. So always keep in mind to fulfil SPF and broad-spectrum requirements, choose organic or hypoallergenic products, and look for minerals while looking for the all-in-one!
