Is spray sunscreen or cream sunscreen better for the face?

Sunscreen is an essential skin care product for everyone. However, to protect the facial skin, should we use spray sunscreen or cream sunscreen?

What is sunscreen?

Sunscreen is a skin care product that helps limit the harmful effects of sunlight on human skin.

With the same effect as a protective layer on the skin, sunscreen helps reduce and prevent skin aging, limit dark spots and freckles.

In addition, sunscreen also helps moisturize and brighten skin tone, and can be used with other beauty cosmetics.

Sunscreen is essential to protect your skin.

Is it better to use spray or cream sunscreen?

Currently, sunscreen can be divided into 2 basic forms: cream and spray. To use on the face, we need to choose the right type of sunscreen.

For topical sunscreens, the sunscreen will be spread evenly on the face so it will penetrate the skin, creating an even coverage layer so it will have better protection. In addition, topical sunscreens are usually alcohol-free so they do not cause skin irritation.

However, topical sunscreens take a long time to spread on the skin, especially when we need to reapply the cream after a certain period of time.

Many people wonder whether to use spray or cream sunscreen for their face.

Meanwhile, spray sunscreen has the advantage of being very easy to use, without wasting time spreading the cream on the skin. Because of that, the protective layer of spray sunscreen will not be even on the skin surface, somewhat affecting the protection effectiveness.

The protective layer of spray sunscreen is not absorbed into the skin, so it evaporates easily. In addition, using spray sunscreen will be more expensive because some of the cream will be sprayed into the environment when spraying. Some spray sunscreens may contain alcohol, which can dry out the skin and cause irritation.

So, obviously to best protect the face, limit the risk of irritation, we should consider using sunscreen in the form of a cream. However, if your face is oily or acne-prone, we should choose a spray sunscreen to avoid clogging pores, making the acne situation worse.
