How to Use

1. Start with clean and dry skin: Ensure that your skin is free from any moisture, sweat, or other skincare products before applying sunscreen.
2. Timing is key: Apply the sunscreen approximately 20 minutes before you plan to go outside. This allows the product to fully absorb into your skin and provide effective UV protection.
3. Measure the right amount: For an average-sized adult, it is recommended to use about 35ml of sunscreen for full body coverage - equivalent to one teaspoon of sunscreen per arm, leg, front of body, back of body, and face (including the neck and ears).
4. Apply evenly: Take a sufficient amount of sunscreen in your palm and apply it to one area of your body at a time. Gently massage it into your skin using circular motions, ensuring that you cover all exposed areas thoroughly.
5. Don't forget the high-risk areas: Pay special attention to commonly neglected areas such as the ears, back of the neck, and back of the legs. These areas are often susceptible to sunburn, so be sure to apply sunscreen generously to provide adequate protection.
6. Reapply as needed: Remember to reapply the sunscreen every two hours or more frequently if you're sweating heavily or engaging in water activities.

Note: Avoid prolonged sun exposure, and never rely on sunscreen alone for protection. Wear protective clothing, including a broad-brim hat, use UV-protective eyewear/sunglasses, and seek shade whenever possible.
