The Importance Of Reapplying Sunscreen
Dr. Janelle Vega, Dermatologist with Baptist Health South Florida, says you need to reapply sunscreen every hour if you are in contact with water, like in a pool or the beach.
"If you're not in the water every two hours it is appropriate for a reapplication and the amount of a shot glass full is about right for your full body," she explains. She recommends avoiding the use of a spray on your face, because then you can inhale the particles, so you don't want to put a spray on your face.
