Sunscreen sprays are tops at scalp protection.
Sunscreen sprays shouldn’t be applied to the face in children, Dr. DeLeo said, but they’re great for solo people because they facilitate protecting the back when there isn’t someone around to help them apply topical sunscreen.
How much spray should people use? A lot, he said. He added that sunscreen sprays are especially useful for the scalps of people with thinning hair.
Dr. DeLeo disclosed consulting work for Estée Lauder.
