The sun’s out, the weather’s heating up, and your skin is begging for protection. But why settle for the ordinary when you can dive into the luxurious world of sunscreen oils? Yes, the tanning oil’s cooler cousin is here to change your sun care game, but are they as safe and protective as the lotions we’ve come to know and love? Let’s unpack the bottle and find out.
We’ve all been there: slathering on that sticky lotion, hoping it’ll shield us from the sun’s harsh rays. But what if I told you there’s a silkier, more glamorous option? Enter: sunscreen oils. These aren’t your grandmother’s tanning oils; they’re infused with SPF and designed to protect and pamper your skin in one slick move.
But do they deliver on their promise? According to dermatologists Dr. Brendan Camp and Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky, the answer is a resounding yes. These oils are formulated to moisturize, soften, and protect, all while giving your skin a Hollywood glow. And here’s the best part: if you apply it right, it’s just as effective as your go-to sunscreen lotion.
Now, let’s talk application. To ensure your sunscreen oil works its magic, give it the time it needs to absorb into your skin—about 20 minutes before you bake in the sun. And remember, a little goes a long way. One ounce for your entire body should do the trick, and don’t forget to reapply every two hours, or more often if you’re swimming or sweating.
But which bottle to pick up? Look for oils that complement your skin type, with added goodies like antioxidants and hydrating ingredients. And why stop at SPF 30 when you can go higher? Opt for a sunscreen oil with an SPF of 50 or more for that extra layer of protection.
In a world where skin safety is paramount, sunscreen oils are more than a trend; they’re a game-changer. They’re the chic shield against UV rays, the protective veil that also happens to make you glow.
