FAQ
What is body sunscreen spray?
Body sunscreen spray is a convenient aerosol or pump-based sun protection product designed for easy application on the body. It typically contains UV filters to shield against UVA and UVB rays, preventing sunburn and premature ageing. Unlike traditional lotions, body sunscreen sprays offer quick, even coverage without the need for rubbing, making them ideal for outdoor activities.
How to apply body sunscreen spray correctly?
To apply body sunscreen spray effectively, hold the can 4-6 inches from your skin and spray generously in a sweeping motion. Rub it in lightly for even distribution, especially on hard-to-reach areas like the back. Apply 15-30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming/sweating
Is body sunscreen spray better than lotion?
Body sunscreen spray can be more convenient than lotion for quick, mess-free application, especially on large areas or hairy skin. It absorbs faster and feels lighter, reducing the greasy residue often associated with lotions. However, lotions might provide better moisture for dry skin. The best choice depends on your skin type and lifestyle; opt for Dot & Key Watermelon Body Sunscreen Spray, which is a water-resistant body sunscreen spray if you're active outdoors for superior ease and broad-spectrum SPF coverage.
What SPF should I use for body sunscreen spray?
For effective sun protection, choose a body sunscreen spray with at least SPF 30, which blocks about 97% of UVB rays. If you have fair skin, spend extended time outdoors, or live in sunny climates, go for SPF 50+ for added defence against UVA/UVB damage.
Are body sunscreen sprays waterproof?
Our body sunscreen sprays are water-resistant, meaning they can withstand water or sweat for up to 80 minutes. Always reapply after towelling off to maintain UV protection and prevent sunburn.
Can I use body sunscreen spray on my face?
While body sunscreen spray can be used on the face in a pinch, it's often formulated with ingredients that might irritate sensitive facial skin or clog pores. For safer application, spray into your hands first, then pat onto the face, avoiding eyes and mouth. For optimal results, use a dedicated facial sunscreen, but a gentle body sunscreen spray works if it's non-comedogenic and broad-spectrum.
How often should I reapply body sunscreen spray?
Reapply body sunscreen spray every 2 hours during sun exposure, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towelling off. Factors like intense activity or high UV index may require more frequent application. Consistent reapplication of SPF body sunscreen spray ensures ongoing protection against harmful rays.

How to choose the right body sunscreen spray?
