Do you use a sunscreen for your body? The PCA Active Protection Body SPF 30 sunscreen is an easy-to-use sunscreen for your body.
Why do I need sunscreen for my body?
Most people just use sunscreen on their face. The reason you need to apply sunscreen on your body is the same reason you need it for your face: to protect your skin. The sun damages your skin over time in many ways. It damages collagen, which creates loose skin and wrinkles. It can cause dark spots sometimes called sun spots. It can make your skin red or lead to visible broken capillaries. And it can increase your risk for skin cancer. Of course, your face is always exposed to the sun whereas clothes can protect your body. But some areas on your body can still be exposed such as your neck, your upper chest, your arms when wearing short sleeves, and your lower legs and feet. The same kind of sun damage that happens on your face can also happen on your body.
How do I use sunscreen on my body?
Your face covers only about five percent of the surface area of the skin on your body. So it’s easy to apply a small pea-sized amount of sunscreen on your face. But areas on your body are much larger. This makes it hard to rub in a cream onto large areas. But the PCA Active Protection Body SPF 30 sunscreen is designed as a continuous spray, which makes it easy to apply to your body. Just spray it on the areas, and it’s easy to rub in.
Specially formulated for protection at the beach, on the slopes, or anywhere in between, this water-resistant SPF is perfect for an active lifestyle. Additional active ingredients help protect skin from aging pollutants and other environmental stressors.
