Apply BEFORE leaving the house!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have fair (freckle donโt tan, burn easily then peel and back to white) and sensitive skin. So does my son. I live on the coast, in a southern state and vacation in the Caribbean often. After too many years of getting burned, I finally found Coola a couple years ago. It has revolutionized my time in the sun.
Hereโs the thing tho. If you donโt apply it properly, itโs not gonna work. If youโre looking for something to put on AT the pool or beach, go for something else (with zinc oxide preferably). If youโre willing to take 5 mins before you go to do it, youโll be very happy. Kids especially are hard enough to get covered before they see water anyway!
Hereโs some tips:
Spray everyone OUTSIDE (even the unscented can overwhelm inside, and you really donโt need to be breathing in ANY sunscreen)
DO NOT USE ON FACE. It will burn your eyes when you sweat/swim. Choose a cream or face stick.
Spray until skin is wet. Youโre not looking for a light misting, youโre going for full coverage. The can can sound like itโs spraying, but if you donโt see the product on the skin, youโre gonna get burned.
Give it 5 mins to dry before putting on shirts/cover ups.
Reapply between 2 & 3 hours of water exposure. (We usually dry off, respray, then have a snack or lunch) Give it 15 - 20 mins to soak in before you hit the water again.
Iโve found a 6oz can will usually take care of two adults and a child for the day (initial and resprays). Itโs a tad expensive, so we use Coola on days we plan to be out for more than a couple hours, or every day in the Caribbean, since the sun is SO intense.
The 2oz is โtouch upโ sized. It may take care of a childโs initial spray, but Iโve found it more suited for adding additional spray to areas that feel a bit crispy, rather than using it on a single application.
