Sunscreen without overspending
The best sunscreen is one you'll wear every day.
Daily sunscreen is one of the most useful steps in any routine. It doesn't have to be expensive to work.
What to look for
- Broad spectrum (protects against UVA and UVB)
- SPF 30 or higher for daily use
- Water resistant if you'll sweat or swim
- A texture you like, so you'll actually use it
Good to know
In the US, sunscreens are regulated by the FDA as over-the-counter drugs, so the label must follow FDA rules. Store brands with the same SPF and broad spectrum label meet the same requirements.
General information, not medical advice. Ask a doctor about sun protection for children under 6 months. Thrift Bloom isn't paid by any brand, store or salon.
