PS - I don't think wearing SPF when the UV index is 1 or 2 is healthy. The first two seem pretty widely known, but I constantly see people recommending sunscreen that isn't water resistant, and I just wish more people knew about it. In fact they may be so cosmetically elegant BECAUSE they aren't water resistant - to be water resistant a formula normally has to be oil based, but that makes it more inclined to be greasy and heavy on the skin.Īnyway, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, sunscreen should be these three things: Unfortunately a lot of well-known cosmetically elegant sunscreens are not water resistant and are likely not as effective as you would hope. And yes, we are all sweating, all the time, even if it isn't always noticeable. If they aren't water resistant then your sweat can disrupt that film. Sunscreens work via film forming - this is why sunscreen always say to apply 20 minutes before sun exposure - it's not to let filters "activate" or anything, it's so that they can spread out and form a film on your skin. Seeeing as everyone is thinking about sunscreens right now, I think it's worth reminding people that effective sunscreen is water resistant sunscreen.
