The main difference between sport sunscreen and regular sunscreen is that sport sunscreen is specifically formulated to be water-resistant. You can wear it when you're in the water or out playing sports for up to 40 to 80 minutes without the SPF wearing off.

Follow all directions on the product package. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Apply sunscreen generously to all exposed skin 30 minutes before sun exposure. As a general guide, use 1 ounce (30 grams) to cover your entire body.

The Walgreens sports sunscreen works as it should. I took it on vacation to Tampa. We stayed at John's pass and was on the beach daily. We all managed to get a little sun but no one was sunburned thankfully.

Sunscreens also help to decrease the risk of skin cancer and also of sunburn-like skin reactions (sun sensitivity) caused by some medications (including tetracyclines, sulfa drugs, phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine).

Made with zinc oxide 100% naturally sourced zinc oxide is the active ingredient that provides broad spectrum mineral sun protection.

Besides outstanding advantages such as helping to prevent sunburn and premature aging, sunscreen also has some disadvantages such as causing stickiness, skin irritation in some skin types, and some ingredients being absorbed into the body. However, the majority of sunscreens on the market still meet safety standards.

Chemical sunscreens are sweat and water resistant so these are especially good for sports and swimming. One thing that many people don't know about these sunscreens is that they actually break down in the sun after about 1 hour.

Chemical sunscreens have ingredients that may potentially cause health problems for you and your baby. Mineral sunscreens, on the other hand, use two natural minerals - zinc oxide and titanium dioxide - as active ingredients. These minerals simply sit on top of your skin and protect it by reflecting away UV rays.
