Sunscreen Surface Area Calculator
Remember, this calculated amount assumes that you’re using a good sunscreen! Check out below for my top recommendations.
Sunscreens I Use
Full Body Sunscreen - UVA + UVB - German - The US standard for “broad spectrum” protection is pretty terrible. This one has the best European rating, at a great price!
Full Body Sunscreen - Broad Spectrum Mineral - Australian - For those who want a fully mineral, non-chemical option with a good price and nice texture. BONUS: It’s got a super cool bottle that changes color in the presence of harmful UV! 😎
Face Sunscreen - UVA/UVB - Sensitive Skin - This is a bit pricey for full-body application, but sometimes for the face it's worth going higher-quality. This broad-spectrum sunscreen has added Hyaluronic Acid, Caffeine, and green tea polyphenols for added hydration, skin tightening, and anti-oxidative effects.
