Are you still searching for the best sweat proof and water resistant sunscreen that suits your skin? Here is my compilation of the best sunscreens for the hot summers.
Use a sunscreen to prevent Sun tan, freckles, age spots, pigmentation and fine lines.
Water resistant sunscreen certainly do not budge and does not cause breakouts.
Remember, they are certainly not water proof or sweat proof but water and sweat resistant for a particular amount of time.
Apply the sunscreen 20 minutes before going out in the sun.
Try to avoid the sun between 10 am-4 pm, when the rays are the strongest.
Sunscreen is important no matter which climate it is. But summers make it tough for us to apply layers of product. We need something light weight and non greasy. These days there are definitely many choices available in the market.
When should we apply sunscreen before swimming?
30 minutes before going out in the sun.
Water resistant sunscreen are preferable for those who love to swim. Most of these water resistant sunscreen stay for more than an hour. The label should mention how long they are effective.
Water resistant sunblocks come in either 40 minute or eighty minute protection. Just like a normal sunscreen, these should be reapplied as often as recommended.
