Frequently Asked Questions
What types of sun care products do you offer?
We offer a wide range of sun care products, including lotions, sprays, gels, after-sun treatments, and lip balms. Each type is designed to provide effective protection against UV rays and cater to different preferences.
How do I choose the right sunscreen for my skin type?
To choose the right sunscreen, consider your skin type. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, look for non-comedogenic formulas. For sensitive skin, opt for hypoallergenic products that are fragrance-free.
What does SPF mean and how is it measured?
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, which measures a sunscreen's ability to protect skin from UVB rays, the main cause of sunburn. For instance, SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks approximately 98%.
Are your sun care products water-resistant?
Many of our sun care products offer water resistance, typically lasting up to 40 or 80 minutes. Always check the label for specific water resistance claims to ensure continued protection during swimming or sweating.
What brands of sun care products do you carry?
We carry trusted brands such as Neutrogena, Banana Boat, Coppertone, and Hawaiian Tropic. Each brand offers a variety of products tailored to different skin types and sun protection needs.
Can I use sun care products on my face?
Yes, many of our sunscreens are suitable for facial use. Look for products specifically labeled as face sunscreens, which are usually formulated to be lighter and non-comedogenic.
When should I apply sunscreen for best results?
Apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before sun exposure to allow it to absorb into the skin. Reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating for optimal protection.
What is the difference between chemical and physical sunscreens?
Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays through their chemical ingredients, while physical sunscreens contain minerals like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide that physically block UV rays. Each type has its advantages depending on skin sensitivity and personal preference.
