-Ensure your skin is clean and dry.-Ideally apply 15 minutes before you go into the sun.-Dab and lay a small amount of lotion, enough to lightly cover the area.-Wait 30-40 seconds for the cream to absorb into the skin.-Spread the suncream in the direction that the hair lies, this will eventually distribute the lotion as the cream is absorbed.-Application is key, as mineral sun creams can leave a white appearance if not applied properly.-Always reapply the lotion every 30 to 40 minutes.
