FAQ
- What is a sunscreen stick, and how do I use it?
-
A sunscreen stick is a compact and convenient form of sunscreen that comes in a solid stick format. It allows for direct application to the skin without the need for spreading or rubbing and goes onto the skin
smoothly and seamlessly – no more white-cast sunscreen! To use Rays Sunscreen SPF30 Moisturizing Sun Stick, simply twist up the product and apply it to the exposed area. It provides targeted protection, and its compact size and low-effort application are especially great for on-the-go application.We recommend incorporating the Sun Stick into your daily skincare routine by applying it to your face, such as the forehead, cheeks, nose, and ears. Regular use of a sunscreen stick helps prevent sunburn,
premature aging, and reduces the risk of skin cancer to the area to which it was applied. While we believe the Sun Stick is best applied to the face and neck areas, it is safe for external use on other areas of exposed skin including arms, legs, shoulders, and chest. All exposed areas of skin benefit from sunscreen and should be supplemented by additional sun protection. - Why should I wear sunscreen daily?
-
Sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays that can cause sunburn, premature aging, and even skin cancer. While it’s far more common for women to use sunscreen daily, the benefits of sun protection apply to men as well. It's important to make sunscreen a part of your daily skincare routine to keep your skin healthy and youthful. See our blog post here for more information on the importance of using sun protection.
- What is SPF and what's the deal with the number?
-
SPF (Sun Protection Factor) indicates the level of protection against UVB rays. For instance, Rays Sunscreen SPF 30 Moisturizing Sun Stick offers high protection, blocking around 97% of UVB rays, while an SPF 15 would block around 93% of UVB rays. SPF ratings can go as high as SPF 100 which blocks out 99% of UVB rays. Any sunscreen, whether 15 or 100, is going to be better than no sunscreen and the choice between them depends on individual preferences and needs. All sunscreens should be reapplied throughout the day for the most effective protection
- Can I skip sunscreen on cloudy days or in the winter?
-
Nope - UV rays can pass through clouds up to 80% of the time and snow can reflect up to 80% of UV rays! UV rays are present year-round, so it's essential to wear sunscreen regardless of the weather or season. Applying sunscreen every day, year-round is your next best habit.
- Is it necessary to wear sunscreen indoors?
-
Yes, it is! While we love a home-office set up with a window view as much as the next guy, UVA rays can penetrate windows and reach your skin. Additionally, exposure to blue light from electronic devices may contribute to skin damage. So, even if you’re going to be indoors, make it a habit to apply sunscreen daily, regardless of your location.
- I have dark skin. Do I still need sunscreen?
-
Absolutely! All skin types, including those with a darker complexion, need protection from harmful UV rays. Rays Sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays. While darker skin may be less susceptible to a typical sunburn, there are still real, dangerous risks of skin cancer and other harmful affects of UV rays.
