Every summer, I get caught up in the same routine, chasing sunsets at the beach, dipping my toes in the pool, or flipping burgers at a backyard BBQ. It feels carefree, but my skin always ends up paying the price. I used to think tossing on sunscreen once in the morning was enough. Spoiler: it wasn’t. Cue the awkward tan lines and surprise sunburns.
That’s when it hit me, sunscreen isn’t just a sidekick; it’s the lead character in every summer story. But here’s the tricky part: using it right is a whole different game. Do you reapply after swimming? Is SPF 30 enough? Can your makeup with SPF actually replace sunscreen? I had all the same questions, and maybe you do too.
So, let’s play a little quiz together. Think of it as swapping stories with a friend, fun, no judgment, just a few “ohhh, that makes sense” moments.
