Use sunscreen but still have spots? You might have forgotten to reapply

Implovers, if you are already regularly using sunscreen before activities, it means you are one step ahead in maintaining skin health, Good job!. But don't forget, applying sunscreen only once in the morning is not enough. To ensure maximum skin protection throughout the day, you also need to reapply sunscreen regularly. Many are still wondering, how often should you reapply sunscreen? Let's discuss the answer along with the reasons why reapplying is crucial for the skin!

Why does Sunscreen Need to be Reapplied?

Sunscreen functions to protect the skin from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays that can cause dull, dry skin, fine lines, and early signs of aging. However, over time and activities, the effectiveness of sunscreen can decrease, resulting in less optimal protection. When first applied, sunscreen works at its best. However, continuous exposure to sunlight causes the active ingredients in sunscreen to slowly degrade. This is the main reason why reapplying sunscreen is highly necessary to maintain optimal skin protection throughout the day.

Additionally, sunscreen can also fade due to sweat, friction, or daily activities such as wiping the face with tissue, wearing a mask, performing ablution, and swimming. When the sunscreen layer diminishes or is removed, the protection against UV rays also decreases. By regularly reapplying, you can help protect the skin from sunburn, hyperpigmentation, and prevent early signs of aging from appearing faster.

Reapply How Often, Implovers?

Now, here's the most frequently asked question: how often should you reapply sunscreen?. Generally, sunscreen is recommended to be reapplied every 2 hours, especially when you are outdoors or directly exposed to sunlight. Even if you use sunscreen with a high SPF, the reapplication rule for reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours remains the same, as SPF does not determine the duration of protection, but rather the level of protection.
 

You also need to reapply more frequently if:

• Sweating a lot
• Engaging in outdoor activities
• Driving for extended periods
• Sitting near a window with sunlight exposure
• After swimming or ablution

By understanding how often to reapply sunscreen, you can keep your skin consistently protected throughout the day.
