Can I spray sunscreen on my face? Which is better, sunscreen or sunscreen lotion?

Sunscreen spray is something that many people know about and a huge number of people like it. So can this sunscreen spray be sprayed on the face? Which is better, sunscreen spray or sunscreen lotion?

Can I spray sunscreen on my face?

It is best not to spray directly on the face! The specific reasons are:

1. Irritation of respiratory tract

Almost 80% of sunscreen sprays use butane as an auxiliary propellant, and most sunscreen sprays are pure chemical sunscreens. When sprayed directly on the face, these chemical ingredients are easily inhaled, posing an inhalation risk. I still remember that when Nazha was spraying sunscreen spray on the show, Chen Bolin next to her couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.

If you spray sunscreen directly on your face, it will be inhaled into the respiratory tract. Especially for children, it is likely to irritate the lungs and induce disease. So for safety reasons, it is strongly recommended not to spray sunscreen spray on your face, especially on children's faces.

2. Not enough quantity

Another reason is that the usage is difficult to control. The amount of sunscreen applied to the face is usually measured by the size of a coin, but the amount of spray cannot be measured. You don't know how much you have used or whether it is applied evenly.

In fact, if you read the product instructions carefully, you will find that many products clearly state not to spray directly on the face!

Which is better, spray sunscreen or sunscreen lotion?

It cannot be said which one is better than the other. Generally, it is better to use the two together! You can choose sunscreen with a light texture and a good reputation for sun protection effect, and use it as the main sunscreen skin care product. The spray is mainly used for reapplying sunscreen. When you are outdoors for a long time, it is very important to reapply sunscreen. At this time, spray is more convenient than cream.

Basically all sunscreen sprays are chemical sunscreens, and because the main ingredient of the spray is volatile propellant, those that claim to have the beautifying, moisturizing and nourishing effects of essential oils, you just need to listen to them and don't take them too seriously.

In addition, it should be noted that if you have sensitive skin, try not to use sprays containing too much chemical sunscreen, or simply do not use it on your face, otherwise you will experience severe allergic symptoms such as dry, itchy, and red skin.

In addition, due to the usage, a bottle of spray will be empty quickly if used on the whole body and face. You cannot expect a bottle of spray to be enough for a whole summer, so it may be more cost-effective than sunscreen in terms of consumption.

Therefore, I personally recommend choosing sunscreen cream and lotion as the main sun protection, and sunscreen spray is only used for reapplication. In fact, both sunscreen cream and sunscreen spray have their own advantages and disadvantages. As long as you choose the product that suits you, you can achieve the ideal effect.

Sunscreen spray is generally not sprayed on the face. Now you know which one to choose between sunscreen and sunscreen lotion!
