Sun Protection

How Much Sunscreen Should You Apply?

SPF ratings are tested using a specific, generous application amount — using less than that in daily life is one of the most common reasons real-world protection falls short of the label.

Why under-application is common

Most people apply noticeably less sunscreen than the amount used in SPF testing, which can meaningfully reduce actual protection, even with a high-SPF product.
