Attention sun bunnies and water babies! Letโ€™s be real, with all this talk of splashing around and soaking up those glorious rays for #TCFSwim, thereโ€™s one non-negotiable accessory we absolutelyย haveย to dive into: sunscreen. Forget your fancy floats and stylish shades for a second, because without the right SPF on your side, those dreamy pool days can turn into a crispy nightmare faster than you can say โ€œouch.โ€

So, letโ€™s ditch the chalky white stuff and the greasy formulas of yesteryear, shall we? Weโ€™re talking about the MVPs of sun protection โ€“ the ones that feel good, play well under makeup (or just on their own!), and most importantly, keep your precious skin shielded while youโ€™re living your best aquatic life.

To be clear, sunscreen isnโ€™t just a summer fling; itโ€™s a year-round commitment, especially when water is involved. Think of it as your invisible force field against those sneaky UV rays that donโ€™t care if itโ€™s cloudy or if youโ€™re blissfully submerged. For optimal protection, a generous application about 15 to 20 minutesย beforeย you even think about dipping a toe in the water is key โ€“ that gives your skin time to soak it all in.

Now, hereโ€™s the real talk: that initial layer isnโ€™t a one-and-done deal. Every two hours, like clockwork, itโ€™s reapplication time. And if youโ€™ve been swimming, sweating up a storm with some intense pool volleyball, or even just toweling off, consider that sunscreen officially compromised and in need of an immediate refresh. Think of it this way: a little extra effort with the SPF now means a lot less regret (and potential sunburn) later.

However, we understand replication over dirt, sweat, or makeup may not be ideal, so be sure to pick up a sunscreen mist for those long days at the beach or family days at the pool. For your face and those days you need your makeup to last all day, consider Supergoopโ€™s Re-Setting Refreshing Sunscreen Mist.

Picking the right SPF can be tricky- you need a formula that does not leave a white cast on the skin and provides adequate protection, all while being lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day.

The more you enjoy the SPF you are wearing, the greater the chance that you will wear it every day. And hey, wearing one every day is important!
