Best Sunscreens for Spring Break

Spring break is calling, and after months of being cooped up indoors, you’re ready to hit the beach, pool, or mountains for some much-needed sunshine.

But before you throw on that swimsuit and soak up the rays, remember this: A sunburn is NOT a badge of honor—it’s a one-way ticket to peeling skin, premature wrinkles, and long-term damage.

Want to keep that fresh, glowing look all spring break long? Here’s how to protect your skin while still living your best vacation life.

Your Skin is Extra Vulnerable After a Long Winter

After months of limited sun exposure, your skin isn’t ready for intense UV rays. A sudden sun binge can leave you looking more like a lobster than a golden goddess (or bronzed beach bro).

Don’t make the rookie mistake of underestimating the spring sun—it’s just as strong as summer, and even on cloudy days, UV rays can cause damage.

Sunscreen 101: How to Apply It Like a Pro

Applying sunscreen might seem like a no-brainer, but there’s a right (and wrong) way to do it. Follow these tips to avoid streaky burns and awkward tan lines:

• Apply Early: All sunscreens, including KINeSYS Spray Sunscreens should be applied at least 20 minutes before sun exposure to dry and bind with your skin.

• Use Enough: Don’t skimp—cover all exposed areas, including your ears, neck, hands, and feet. Two light applications are better than one heavy one!

• Choose the Right Formula: Opt for a sweat-resistant, water-resistant sunscreen that keeps up with your adventures. KINeSYS Sunscreens are 80min water & sweat resistant and formulated for sport, feeling like a second skin while moving with you.

• Reapply, Reapply, Reapply: If you’re swimming, sweating, or toweling off, reapply every 80 minutes. Otherwise, reapply every 2 hours to stay protected. Tip: When you hydrate, reapply your sunscreen - the two go hand-in-hand.

• Don’t Forget Your Lips: Lips are prone to sunburn too! Protect them with our new KINeSYS Pro Sport SPF 30 Lip Balm with Shea Butter—hydration and protection in one easy swipe.

Beyond Sunscreen: Extra Sun Protection Tips

Sunscreen is essential, but it’s not your only line of defense. Level up your sun protection with these extra precautions:

• 👒 Wear a hat – A wide-brimmed hat shields your face, scalp, and neck from direct sun exposure.
• 🕶 Rock those shades – UV rays can harm your eyes, so grab a pair of sunglasses with 100% UV protection.
• ☂️ Use an umbrella – Whether you’re on the beach, golfing, or strolling the boardwalk, a little extra shade goes a long way.
• 👕 Cover up when needed – A lightweight, long-sleeved shirt keeps your skin cool and protected when the sun’s at its peak.
