  • Daily Routine Integration: Incorporate the sunscreen into your morning skincare routine to ensure consistent protection every day, even on cloudy days.
  • Reapplication is Key: Remember to reapply every two hours, especially after sweating, swimming, or prolonged sun exposure, to maintain optimal protection.
  • Complement with Protective Clothing: Enhance your sun protection by wearing hats, sunglasses, and long sleeves, especially during peak sun hours in South Africa.
  • Storage Tips: Keep the sunscreen in a cool, dry place to preserve its efficacy. Avoid leaving it in hot environments like cars.
