FAQ About Sunscreen

Yes, choosing a water-resistant sunscreen is highly recommended for swimming or participating in activities that involve heavy sweating. Water-resistant sunscreens are formulated to adhere better to the skin during water exposure and sweating, providing more extended protection compared to regular sunscreens.

Choosing the Right Water-Resistant Sunscreen:

• Look for sunscreens labeled as "water-resistant" or "very water-resistant."
• Check the specific duration of water resistance indicated on the sunscreen label (e.g., 40 minutes or 80 minutes). This indicates how long the sunscreen will remain effective while in water before reapplication is needed.
• Consider a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 for optimal protection.
• Apply the sunscreen liberally to all exposed areas of the skin before going swimming or engaging in sweaty activities.
