One of the most common sunscreen questions is: should you use the same sunscreen for your face and body, or do you need different ones?
The short answer: It depends on your skin type, lifestyle, and the formula you choose. Let’s break it down.
At Vinr, we believe sunscreen should be simple, effective, and tailored to your needs.
🚫 Myth 1: Any Sunscreen Works Everywhere
✨ Truth: The skin on your face is thinner, more sensitive, and more prone to breakouts than your body. What works for your arms may clog pores on your face.
👉 Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic sunscreen for your face.
Vinr Solution:
-
Vinr Dewy Finish SPF 50 PA+++ → for normal to dry skin, hydrating glow
-
Vinr Matte Finish SPF 50 PA+++ → for oily, acne-prone skin, shine control
🚫 Myth 2: Body Sunscreens Are Too Heavy for the Face
✨ Truth: Many body sunscreens are thicker and designed for larger areas, which may feel greasy on facial skin.
👉 For your face, opt for breathable, fast-absorbing textures like Vinr’s facial sunscreens.
🚫 Myth 3: You Don’t Need Body Sunscreen Every Day
✨ Truth: Your body is exposed more than you realize — arms, neck, hands, and feet get constant sun exposure. Skipping sunscreen can lead to tanning, pigmentation, and premature aging.
👉 Use a generous, affordable body sunscreen daily.
Pro Tip: Even if you use Vinr face sunscreens, apply liberally on neck, arms, and chest for uniform protection.
