When the summer sun hits, it’s time to start upping your sun protection game. Studio SWEAT onDemand & Soul Spot Sunscreen are here to help you avoid the pain and panic that goes along with getting burned!

Although applying any sunscreen is better than applying none (keyword “screen,” not lotion or oil), sunscreen products are definitely not equal, but we’re here to help you weed out the crazy selection & what exactly to search for!

Here are 3 Key Tips for keeping your skin safe in the sun!

1: First thing you should look for is a sunscreen with a ‘water resistant’ or ‘sweat resistant’ label. These types of sunscreens tend to be a little heavier but that’s only to shield your skin from those UV rays.

2: Look for the active ingredient ‘non nano zinc oxide’ which is your best shot at blocking damaging UVA and UVG rays. Most of the sunscreens you encounter in the US are chemical based meaning sun protection is provided by chemicals your skin absorbs. Instead, search for mineral based sun protection that includes ‘zinc oxide’ to prevent your skin from breaking down in the heat and absorbing the sunscreen.

3: If you’re baking in the sun, your sunscreen is only good for a max of an hour so make sure to reapply every 60 minutes, no matter what brand of sunscreen that you’re using.
