Coola – If you purchase your sunscreen directly from Coola’s site you get a discount.Luckily, it’s available from multiple retailers. Reapply every 2 hours or every hour to 80 minutes if sweating or swimming.Let it dry before heading outside, about 15 minutes.If you want to use it on your face then spray in your hands first and then apply to your face. I felt like I had adequate coverage after one spray so I didn’t need to spray again. It’s a pretty powerful spray so you really don’t want to be too close. Hold the bottle 4 to 6 inches away from the area you want covered and spray.

How To Use Coola Mineral Spray Sunscreen: The white is actually beneficial here because you can see where you have sprayed and if you need to apply more. I did not have any white or blue cast after I rubbed it in. It’s the # 1 reason people give me when I ask why they don’t use zinc oxide.Ĭoola’s mineral spray does spray out white but it blends in nicely. Zinc gets a bad wrap for leaving a white or sometimes blue cast on your skin. So why doesn’t everyone use it? Why Some People Don’t Like Zinc Oxide:

Another plus is that it’s well-tolerated by most people (it’s used in diaper creams to protect baby’s skin, which is the most sensitive skin there is).Īll great reasons to use zinc oxide. It’s broad spectrum, meaning it protects against both UVB (burning) and UVA (ageing) rays. It’s more photostable, meaning it doesn’t break down very easily when exposed to the sun’s rays.
My first choice in sunscreen is zinc oxide, which is a mineral sunscreen.

They’ve also added some hydrating and skin-loving ingredients like jojoba oil and aloe vera (Scroll down to the bottom of the post if you would like to see the full list of ingredients). The active sunscreen ingredient is zinc oxide. It contains my favorite kind of sunscreen and it’s in an easy, spray form. I was very excited when I saw that Coola is now offering a new spray mineral sunscreen. So, it’s a little more work than originally anticipated but still pretty quick and easy. It’s also recommended that you spray then rub 3 times to make sure you are getting adequate coverage. To avoid said polka-dotty skin, after applying a spray sunscreen you have to rub it in. You could end up with a polka-dot tan or burn. This means the spaces in between those dots are not covered by sunscreen. Sprays, by definition, are liquids that are blown or driven through the air in the form of tiny drops. If something’s easy, I’m more likely to do it and be happy about doing it.
My favorite bit about them is they’re easy to use (especially on squirmy little humans).
I am one of those people who loves spray sunscreens. If you’re one of those that hates them, maybe this review will change your mind. If you’re one of those that love them then this review is for you. Spray sunscreens, some people love them and some people hate them.
