5 Things to Keep in Mind When Using Sunscreen
- Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going out in the sun.
- Reapply every 3–4 hours, depending on the SPF protection level.
- If you have oily skin, choose lotion or gel-based sunscreens; if your skin is dry, opt for cream-based formulas.
- For children, spray forms are often easier to apply.
- Since sunscreens are not highly water-resistant, don’t forget to reapply after water exposure—especially for children.
