You might not be putting on as much sunscreen as you think.
for her take on aerosol spray sunscreens — the ones where you hold down the button and the SPF comes out as a continuous mist."The problem with these is that they contain lots of propellants, which are liquidized gases," said Wong. Most aerosol sunscreens contain these gases, which push the product out and are often referred to as propane, butane, isobutane, or hydrocarbon on the label.
Whether you apply the sunscreen inside or outside is also a matter of concern."Apart from the issues with the amount applied, wind is a problem," Wong tells R29."There's actually anotheron spray sunscreens and wind, which found that you lose 32 to 79% of the sprayed sunscreen in 10 kph wind, and 28 to 93% for 20 kph wind. These are considered light and moderate wind conditions.
We also consulted an NYC dermatologist to see if these studies are just as relevant for us U.S. sunscreen buyers — and the caution tracks. "Generally speaking, I ask my patients to not use aerosol spray sunscreens, especially if they are chemical sunscreens," says of Schweiger Dermatology Group. "The issue with aerosol sprays is that they contain propellants and chemicals that are not meant to be inhaled at all. When spraying the sunscreen, the distribution of sunscreen onto the body varies drastically. If the wind is blowing then a lot of the sunscreen never even reaches the skin.
Wong says the amount you apply is important."If you apply enough sunscreen, sprays should be fine. It's just that it's harder to judge if you're applying enough with an aerosol spray." Wong would recommend a pump spray instead and suggests measuring out how many sprays you need."You can spray into a quarter teaspoon measure," she advises, and recommends being extremely careful not to inhale the sunscreen.
