Suncare Month
I put them all to the sweat test.
Typically, Im doing a great job when I apply sunscreen anysunscreen to my face in the morning.
As long as itsbroad-spectrumandsits well under makeup, my skin is covered in the sun protection department.
This is something you dont want to learn the hard way.
When swimming or doing activities outdoors where you anticipate sweating, wearing awaterproof sunscreenis important, saysDr.
Adarsh Vijay Mudgil, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist based in NYC.
Thats precisely why sport sunscreens exist, aka SPF formulas that are meant to withstand schvitzing.
That said, its important to remember that sweat-resistant or water-resistant sunscreens arentcompletelywaterproof.
Mudgil notes that theyll still need to be reapplied to maintain their protective effects.
Theyre generally rated to provide protection for either 40 or 80 minutes when wet, he tells Bustle.
The product label will tell you when you should slather on some more.

This is probably my favorite SPF to wear when working out.
Even as sweat dripped into my eyes mid-run, it didnt sting.
Since Im a sucker for a multitasking SPF, this ones a definite win.
