Spray-on sunscreen easy enough for pale people to use


As pale folk, we are well aware of the myriad dangers of sun exposure. But we hate to get our hands all yucky with gloppy, gritty, weird smelling sunscreen.

Plus, it's so easy to miss a spot when we're rubbing in lotion. That spells disaster in the form of organically shaped sunburn art, usually across the backs of your knees, thighs or that little spot where every bra strap rubs all day long.

So many choices of spray-on sunscreen!

  • Neutrogena Sunblock, Ultra Sheer Body Mist SPF 70
  • Coppertone Dry Oil Sunscreen Continuous Spray SPF 10
  • KINeSYS Spray-On Sunscreen SPF 15 and 30
  • Bobbi Brown
  • Clarins Spray Oil-Free Lotion Progressive Tanning for Outdoor Sports SPF 15

Thank the merciful R&D departments at every sunscreen manufacturer under the sun who understand our needs and preferences. These days we can find a spray-on version of all of our favorite brands.

We even found a couple that might surprise you, like spray-on sunscreen for baby scalps. And a special kind for your dog! Check out the gallery and share any favs we missed in the comments.
