Users: Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an application last?
The Mist application itself takes only 10 seconds. The protection time varies. As with other high quality, broad spectrum sunscreens, the Sunscreen Mist Spa Collection sunscreens should be reapplied at least every two hours. This time could be significantly shorter based on several factors:
- Your skin type: people with lighter skin or prone to sunburn should reapply more often
- Your activities: swimming and vigorous exercise reduce the effective life of all sunscreens
- The time of year: the sun is more intense during the summer in the Northern Hemisphere
- The weather: Intense sunlight requires more frequent application, however you can be badly sunburned even on cloudy or overcast days
- Your geographic location: Sun exposure closer to tropical areas often increases your risk of sunburn, and extra care should be taken in these area
