SPF 101: How Much to Use (and How to Reapply)

If you want one product that supports healthy skin and slows visible ageing, it’s sunscreen. Consistency matters more than perfection.

How much SPF should you apply?

• Face + neck: aim for about 2 finger lengths of product.

• Don’t forget ears, hairline, and around the eyes (use an eye-safe formula).

• Apply as the last step of your morning routine.

When to reapply

• Every 2 hours if you’re outdoors.

• After sweating, swimming, or towel-drying.

• If you’re mostly indoors, reapply if you sit by windows or go outside midday.

If SPF stings or breaks you out, it’s usually a formula mismatch — there are excellent options for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
