Top 4 Spray Sunscreens

Makeup artists often talk about sunscreens. That is because it is so important to always protect your actors while on set. Another reason is what products work well under Makeup.
Consumer Reports has a list of Spray Water Resistance Sunscreens that work efficiently.What you would want to do is test them also under the Makeup brands you are using. Apply Sunscreens under makeup in the trailer and every two hours after that. There is no such thing as waterproof. Sprays can be efficient for the body and on set. But watch for winds that would make this technique useless. Never spray near camera or other sensitive equipment. Do not spray directly on an actors face unless it is requested. Don't assume it is OK. Here is the Top four products Consumer Reports recommends:

UP & UP Sport Continuous (Target)
Walgreens Sport Continuous
Banana Boat Sport Performance
Aveeno Continuous Protection

The next group Consumer Reports recommends is:

Coppertone UltraGuard Continuous
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist with Helioplex
