Questions & Answers

Q: Why is it important to reapply sunscreen every two hours?

Sunscreen needs to be reapplied every two hours to combat the loss of protection caused by the oils from the skin and sweat, even when not directly exposed to the sun.

Q: Can makeup with sunscreen provide a higher SPF?

No, adding makeup with sunscreen on top of sunscreen does not increase the SPF. However, it can help replace any sunscreen removed during makeup application.

Q: How can sunscreen be reapplied throughout the day when wearing makeup?

Sunscreen powder or spray can be used to touch up protection, but they may not provide an even layer. It is best to apply sunscreen creams or lotions and pat them into the skin.

Wearing a hat and sunglasses can offer additional protection, and it is important to avoid being outdoors when the sun is at its peak.
