Sprays Birthed Tiger Stripes

Introducing a masterpiece from the “spray sunscreen application gone wild” gallery. In this episode, a wife’s attempt to protect her husband from the heat rays with spray sunscreen resulted in an artistic yet unintended effect: tiger-like stripes across his back. Despite her efforts and several passes over the area, the sunscreen didn’t quite make the mark—literally.

This highlights a crucial point in the spray vs. cream sunscreen debate: effectiveness often hinges on proper application. Research suggests that while spray sunscreens offer convenience, they are tricky to apply evenly, especially on windy days. Cream sunscreens, on the other hand, tend to provide more consistent coverage when thoroughly rubbed in.
