13 Best Body Sunscreens For Women On The Go

Living on this side of the world means that we're used to the sweltering summer heat almost all year round. But while we already know how important it is to slather sunscreen on our faces, we may be forgetting that it’s just as important to protect our body’s skin against harmful UV rays, especially because of the long-term effects they can cause.

But with many options on the market, how would you know which one to reach for? Here's a quick refresher: Start by considering the level of protection you need. Sunscreens with a broad-spectrum label guard against both UVA and UVB rays, offering more comprehensive coverage. The SPF rating is another key detail — SPF 30 is suitable for daily use, while SPF 50 or higher is better for prolonged outdoor exposure, ensuring stronger defense against the sun’s intensity. 

No matter your plans, finding a sunscreen that fits seamlessly into your routine makes all the difference. With that, we round up the best body sunscreens that are perfect for women who are always on the go.
