Can sunscreen spray still be used when it turns into water? Is it better for sunscreen spray to be in water or mist form?

Sunscreen spray is a sunscreen product and one of the most convenient types of sunscreen products. It can be used anytime and anywhere and is easy to carry. However, some friends may encounter the situation where the sunscreen spray turns into water. Can they still continue to use it?

Can sunscreen spray still be used after it turns into water?

Usable

It is very common for sunscreen spray to spray out water. Since sunscreen spray contains a lot of water and alcohol, the emulsifier in the ingredients is sprayed out in the form of atomization, so the sprayed sunscreen is liquid. Sunscreen spray is more moisturizing than ordinary sunscreen. It does not look dull or powdery on the face and has a cooling feeling. It is also very convenient to use. You don’t need to apply it with your hands, just spray it evenly on the skin.

If the sunscreen spray is left standing for a long time, its texture may become stratified. If you spray it directly, it may become watery. In this case, it is recommended to pick it up and shake it before use. If it returns to its original state after shaking evenly, it means it is not bad. However, if the sunscreen spray still appears watery after being shaken, it means it has gone bad. It is not recommended to continue using such a sunscreen spray, otherwise it will cause irritation to the skin.

Is water-based sunscreen spray better or mist-based?

The editor still prefers transparent ones. After all, it does not need to be spread little by little. It can be sprayed evenly enough. It has a high SPF index and a water-like texture, which is easily absorbed by the skin. The key point is that it is very suitable for spraying after makeup, and it is extremely convenient to carry when going out. The only drawback may be that it is used up quickly. When you go out and spray it on yourself or on your friends, it is used up quickly.

Advantages: convenient, easy to apply, quick drying

Most Japanese and Korean sunscreen sprays are added with propellants, and are sprayed in the form of water mist. Just a few sprays save time and effort. They feel light on the skin and do not cause whitening problems. With the help of a large amount of alcohol, they dry quickly and form a film.

Disadvantages: safety, possible accidental inhalation by human body during spraying

Sunscreen spray can be sprayed in two main ways: adding propellant to the sunscreen liquid or using a pressure nozzle.

The propellants are mainly butane, isobutane, propane, and may also contain dimethyl ether, methyl ethyl ether and other ingredients.

Sunscreen spray using propellant does not require effort to press the nozzle, the sprayed water mist is fine and covers a wide area; pressing once can spray continuously, which is convenient, fast and effortless; it turns into gas and evaporates after contacting the skin, and the effect of alcohol in the ingredients quickly takes away the skin surface temperature, making the skin feel "cool" and especially refreshing on hot summer days. However, it is easy to accidentally inhale propellants and chemical sunscreen ingredients during spraying.

Pressure spray nozzles are generally used for moisturizing sprays or makeup setting sprays. The products do not contain liquefied volatile propellants and need to be pressed hard. They cannot spray continuously and can only spray a certain amount of liquid each time they are pressed. When spraying at a long distance, you need to spread it evenly with your hands. When spraying at a close distance, it is not much different from ordinary sunscreen.

Element

To ensure that the sunscreen liquid can be sprayed evenly and smoothly, sunscreen sprays are almost all pure chemical sunscreens and basically do not contain physical sunscreen agents such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide granules.

Chemical sunscreens and physical sunscreens each have their own advantages and disadvantages. When it comes to safety, physical sunscreens are better than chemical sunscreens. Especially for children/pregnant women/lactating women/sensitive skin/skin with damaged barrier, it is recommended to use stable and safe pure physical sunscreen.

Insufficient protection, difficult to quantify usage

Precautions for using sunscreen spray

From the perspective of protection and safety, sunscreen is better than sunscreen spray

Don’t spray sunscreen directly on your face.

The correct way to use sunscreen spray: spray on the palm of your hand first and then apply on your face; when spraying on your body, you need to hold your breath and try to do it in a spacious and ventilated outdoor environment.

Do not use sunscreen sprays containing volatile propellants on children

Instead of sacrificing safety and protection, it is better to apply reliable sunscreen carefully.

Sunscreen spray recommendation

Now let me talk about the crystal sunscreen spray, rafra orange sunscreen spray, and Nalis sunscreen spray recommended by Nazha that I used in the summer.

First of all, I highly recommend: Rafra orange sunscreen spray, it smells good and is not greasy when sprayed. It is highly recommended for summer use, SPF 50?

Crystal sunscreen spray: I bought it for the second time, what a mistake. The scar healed and I forgot the pain. I felt it smelled bad the first time I used it, and it was easy to inhale into the mouth. When spraying, I must close my mouth and don't breathe, otherwise the strange smell will enter the mouth and it will be very uncomfortable. This product is not greasy when sprayed. If Watsons hadn’t held a promotion, I probably wouldn’t have bought it.

Nazha recommended this Naris sunscreen spray. I used it when I went to Malaysia. It smells good, but it’s too greasy. When I spray it on my hands and feet, I feel a greasy feeling. So I bought it once and never used it again. I really don’t recommend it.
