Protection thins over time — reapply before reaching the right edge.

Quick rules
  • • Indoors away from windows: reapplication isn't critical.
  • • Outdoors at moderate UV: every 2 hours.
  • • Swimming, sweating heavily, or towel-drying: immediately after.
  • • Over makeup: a powder or stick SPF is the most realistic option.
