Sunscreen Stick

Sunscreen sticks provide solid, portable application and are useful for targeted areas such as the nose, cheeks, ears, lips and around the hairline. Their compact format can be convenient for travel and reapplication, although several passes may be needed to produce complete, even coverage. Apply the stick generously to all exposed skin in the intended area and blend around the edges so no gaps remain. Follow the same broad-spectrum, protection-factor and reapplication requirements as other sunscreen formats. The product’s directions remain important because application instructions can differ between sticks, sprays, lotions and other forms.
