Should I reapply sunscreen after swimming?
Yes, you should reapply sunscreen after swimming. Even water-resistant sunscreens can wear off due to water exposure, so it’s important to apply a fresh layer to maintain protection. This is especially crucial if you’ve been swimming for an extended period or have towel-dried yourself.
Key points:
- Sunscreen can wash off when swimming.
- Water-resistant does not mean waterproof.
- Reapplication is necessary for effective protection.
- Towel drying can remove sunscreen from your skin.
