Sunscreen is an essential last step of any sound skincare routine. It helps to delay the appearance of lines, wrinkles, dark spots, hyperpigmentation and of course reduces chances of skin cancer. The general rule of thumb is to apply a teaspoon of sunscreen for the face, neck and ears and the equivalent of a shot glass for the whole body 20 minutes before sun exposure. It’s important to reapply sunscreen every two hours, sooner if you’re in the water or sweating to get the full benefits of sun protection.

While we can measure how much sunscreen cream or lotion we’re applying, things get tricky when it comes to spray on sunscreen.
