How much sunscreen should I apply?

You should apply about two finger lengths of sunscreen (roughly 35ml) to cover the exposed areas of your body. For your face, a teaspoon-sized amount is generally sufficient. Make sure to apply it generously and evenly for effective protection.

Key points:

  • Use enough sunscreen to cover all exposed skin thoroughly.
  • Reapply every two hours, or more often if swimming or sweating.
  • Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
  • Check the expiry date to ensure effectiveness.
