Or ever.

It’s difficult to know when it’s been properly applied. Stick to something that you can be sure is applied properly to exposed areas.

    The real “LPT” is always in the comments: Spray your hand and rub it on like regular sunscreen.

      but then why not just buy the rub on stuff, you get more and it costs less plus you dont go spraying things into the air

    I mean… You can always spray it very close to the skin or even on your hand and then spread it… It’s not that difficult.

    Yes, please don’t use it at all if can. Live in Hawaii and it’s awful, truly. And if you MUST use it, please wait the advised 15-20mins for it to sink in before getting into the water! Tourists have destroyed beaches and coral life at Molokini because of this.

      People shouldn’t use sunscreen because it’s awful? I’m too white for this advice lol. Are you someone who doesn’t burn easily?

        No not at all! Please please please use sunscreen! Protect your skin! It’s just this specific kind of sunscreen - the spray kind - is just not good. Consider a mineral based sunscreen instead of a chemical one going in the ocean 🤙🏾

      I had not thought about having the sunscreen leech into the water. Thank you for educating!
