4 Reasons Not to Use Body Sunscreen on Your Face

It clogs pores and causes breakouts Body sunscreen is thicker and greasier than face formulas, making it more likely to clog pores and trigger acne on the sensitive skin of your face.

It stings your eyes badly Body sunscreen migrates when you sweat, and getting it in your eyes causes intense stinging. This is a common and painful regret.

It feels heavy and greasy Body formulas are designed to spread over large areas and stay put through movement, so they feel thick and uncomfortable on the smaller, more delicate skin of your face.

It doesn’t work well under makeup Body sunscreen pills and sits poorly under makeup, unlike face sunscreens that are formulated with lighter textures for a smooth base.
