Sun Care

Fun in the sun can lift your spirits and provide the vitamin D you need to boost your bone health and immunity. At Bed Bath & Beyond, we carry a wide array of products to help adults and kids safely enjoy some sunshine. With the right sunscreen to protect against harmful rays, you can tan without burning and minimize the risk of skin cancer and signs of premature aging like wrinkles. Generally, you want to look for a sunscreen that has an SPF 30 or higher and that contains both UVA and UVB protection.

Sun Bum® sunscreen comes in a variety of products with SPF up to 70. You can find tanning sunscreen to moisturize your whole body as well as an accelerator to apply over the protective lotion to let you tan in less time. When you're seeking the best sunscreen for your face, check out Sun Bum's stick and lotion products. They also make a sunscreen stick for babies. All these options provide broad-spectrum protection and resist water to shield you from sunburn while swimming or surfing.

If you're an outdoor athlete who spends long days in the sun, you'll appreciate the line of sunscreen lotions and sprays from Coppertone® that are formulated with sports in mind. With SPF up to 100, they protect you from UVA and UVB rays, have antioxidants, and won't cause breakouts. Coppertone offers special products for children, and they have formulas just for facial skin as well as sunscreen lip balm.

Keep in mind that sun care for your skin doesn't stop when you come indoors. Using after-sun products as part of your skincare routine can replenish the moisture your face and body need for a healthy glow. After suncare products with soothing aloe vera gel are always a good choice. This natural plant extract is gentle and non-irritating, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin. Coconut oil is another natural moisturizer that helps repair dry, sun-damaged skin. Green tea extract, which contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from harmful UV rays, is also popular for after-sun use. Another favorite is shea butter, a natural moisturizer that helps keep the skin hydrated and prevents wrinkles from forming.

Many people think of sunscreen mainly as something to put on for tanning at the beach or spending hours on the tennis court or golf course. However, it's best to wear sunscreen lotion to protect your skin anytime you go outdoors. If you have oily skin, consider a sunscreen lotion that is light and doesn't contain any oil. If you have dry skin, you could try a rich formula that contains moisturizing ingredients. Along with suncare products to use anywhere on your body, we have a large selection of the best facial moisturizers at Bed Bath & Beyond.
