In an appearance-care context, sunscreen concerns protection from ultraviolet damage rather than a change to facial bone structure. The FDA advises combining sunscreen with other sun-protection measures. See [[Skin]] and [[Softmaxxing]].<ref name="ex27-fda" />

			== Protection and labelling ==
			Sunscreen products reduce exposure of the skin to ultraviolet radiation. The United States Food and Drug Administration treats them as one part of sun protection, alongside shade and clothing. Protection depends on the product's tested properties and on how it is used. A product label is therefore more informative than advertising terms such as a cosmetic “glow.”<ref name="ex27-fda">[https://www.fda.gov/drugs/understanding-over-counter-medicines/sunscreen-how-help-protect-your-skin-sun FDA, “Sunscreen: How to Help Protect Your Skin from the Sun”].</ref>

			=== SPF and broad spectrum ===
			Sun protection factor, or SPF, compares the ultraviolet exposure required to produce sunburn on protected and unprotected skin. It is a measure of exposure, not a number of hours for which a person can safely remain outside. The same length of time can involve different exposures depending on the intensity of sunlight.<ref name="ex27-fda" />

			The designation ''broad spectrum'' concerns protection against both UVA and UVB radiation. The FDA explains that broad-spectrum products with SPF 15 or higher, used as directed with other protective measures, can reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin ageing. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends choosing broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. These are attributed recommendations from different organizations; they should not be confused with a guarantee that any product prevents all damage.<ref name="ex27-fda" /><ref name="ex27-aad">[https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/sun-protection/shade-clothing-sunscreen/how-to-select-sunscreen American Academy of Dermatology, “How to select a sunscreen”].</ref>

			=== Water resistance ===
			No sunscreen is waterproof. In United States labelling, a water-resistance claim specifies testing for either 40 or 80 minutes during swimming or sweating. This does not eliminate the need to reapply the product. Directions on the container explain when reapplication is necessary; the FDA's general guidance includes at least every two hours and more often with swimming or sweating.<ref name="ex27-fda" />

			== Coverage and limitations ==
			The FDA identifies frequently missed areas including the ears, lips, back of the neck, hands, feet, hairline and exposed scalp. An uneven application can leave some skin less protected than the label's testing might suggest. Different forms, including lotions, sticks and sprays, have their own directions. Reading those directions is part of correct use.<ref name="ex27-fda" />

			Sunscreen is not a reason to abandon shade, protective clothing or limits on intense sun exposure. The FDA also advises protecting products from excessive heat and direct sunlight and checking their expiration information. This makes sunscreen a continuing protective practice, rather than a procedure that permanently changes facial structure or skin colour.<ref name="ex27-fda" />
