Use on your lips and face, and cover any body part that's exposed, like fingers, hands, feet, and necks. The more you apply, the more protection you’ll have.

Unlike conventional, synthetic, chemical-based sunscreens, mineral sunscreens start working the second that you apply them to the skin. Don’t forget to keep the packaging dry since it’s biodegradable.

Pro tip: rubbing it in helps the sunscreen become less opaque!

Always rely on common sense when in the sun, and use clothing and hats as your primary form of solar protection. Respect your personal exposure limits.

The best sunscreen in the world especially for surfers! I do not need to re-apply if out surfing for 8 hours. I also use as the best makeup, blends beautifully and makes your face look airbrushed. The tan color is perfect for all skin shades as it blends out wonderfully. Thank you Avasol!

Only one that works for surfing but can only use it for sunscreen

It does a great job protecting my face. I use it for surfing and it works great. It does make my face look cakey and sticky, so I don’t recommend it for people that don’t intent to be near water or want to look aesthetically pleasing. I did use 50+spf/stick version it might differ with 30+ spf or the liquid version.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Avasol! We're thrilled to hear our sunscreen provides the protection you need for surfing.

We understand your comment about the 'cakey' look. Our SPF 50+ stick prioritizes performance and high-level protection, which can sometimes mean a thicker consistency.

Here are a few tips to help:
-Less is more: A little goes a long way! Try applying a thinner layer, and you might be surprised at the coverage.
-Find your shade: We offer a variety of shades to blend seamlessly with different skin tones.
-Explore other options: Our SPF 30 stick or our tinted liquid sunscreen might be a better fit for your everyday needs. Many people even use Avasol in place of foundation!

We're always striving to improve, and your feedback is valuable to us. Feel free to reach out to our customer support team if you have any questions or would like personalized recommendations.

WOW! Did this also clear up my skin??

I'm always nervous about buying sunblock for my face because my skin is prone to breakouts, but always need something that stays on for long surf sessions. This product came highly recommended from other lady loggers and I was amazed at how smooth it rubbed in and stayed on! I'm fair (but not pale) with freckles and the Medium color was great, washed off easily with a washcloth and my skin actually cleared up!
