Face sunscreen vs body sunscreen: Face wins for comfort and skin health

Body sunscreens are thicker, greasier, and more likely to sting your eyes or clog pores. Face sunscreens are lighter, non-comedogenic, and have a better cosmetic finish with no white cast. In a pinch, body sunscreen protects from burning but feels gross and may break you out. Your face is not your arm—spend the extra few bucks.
