Lotion sunscreen vs spray sunscreen for face: Lotion wins for even coverage and less irritation

Lotion sunscreen is better for your face because spray is hard to apply evenly on small, curved surfaces, leading to missed spots around your nose and eyes. Spray also risks inhalation and stinging near eyes. If you must use spray, spray into your hands first, but dedicated facial lotion sunscreen is less greasy and less irritating.
