Quick answers
How often should I reapply sunscreen?
Reapplication frequency depends on activity level and sweat. Dermatologists recommend reapplying every two hours or after swimming or sweating.
What does SPF mean?
SPF numbers indicate the fraction of sunburn-causing UV rays that reach the skin. For example, SPF 30 allows 3% of UVB rays through, while SPF 50 allows 2%.
What areas should I apply sunscreen to?
Sunscreen should be applied to all exposed skin, including often-overlooked areas such as ears, neck, and feet.
