I'll be out in the sun and would like to reapply every hour. Has anyone tried repeated applications of this? If so, how did it go?

The nice thing about this product is that it has lasting power and you don't need to apply so often unless you are coming from a swim. It doesn't get oily, feels light on your face, and looks good too. Best of all, it works!

I reapply often when I'm in and out of the ocean with no flakiness or build up like with some other sunscreens.

Goes on the same as the first application. I know all sun blocks recommend reapplying after an hour or two. I seldom do, and I seem to do OK. Since this is a sun block, it is not absorbed into the skin as are chemical sun screens. A block stops sun rays from penetrating into the skin, Think shield. Unless Iam in water, or doings sweaty activities, I usually do not reapply. Hope this helps.

I find that this gets pretty mucky if I reapply often. I have oily skin though so that could be why.

I actually ignore the instructions and apply in the morning after my shower. I have no complaints. I've occasionally done what is asked of me when I shower at night, but I still reapply in the morning. Habit I guess.

http://www.epi-pet.com/sunscreen.aspx ---states the sunscreen rates about an spf 30-40 (in human sunscreens) but you need to reapply every 2-4 hours they are outside or every 80 minutes if they are getting wet.

I squirt about a teaspoonful or so in my hands and apply to arms and then another amount for face and neck area, my legs and feet when wearing sandals. I try to apply it all over about 15 or so minutes before I go outside. I work on our farm so if I'm really sweating I'll reapply or if I've been outside for an extended period of time. The container says to reapply about 80 minutes after swimming, toweling dry, to reapply every two hours for best sun protection.

Depending on rain, I usually reapply once every two months. But it depends on your neighborhood, rainfall, etc. I do add Gordon's Spreader Sticker to the bottle (one tablespoon) to help it adhere and stay water fast longer. This is part of my every two to three month regimen of spraying my foundation about two feet up on the wall and two feet into the lawn and landscape. Bugs can't crawl into your home that way and you don't have to worry about spraying chemicals on the inside. It's also great to spray generously around garage door openings, window sills, etc where you don't want easy access for insects. Depending on rain, I usually reapply once every two months.

I was applying once a week to maintain an even tan. If you use something abrasive to wash your skin (like a washcloth or loofah) it won't last as long.

I wouldn't do it more than once every 6 - 8 weeks, and you could easily get 3 applications out of it. You should only use asmall amount of product. The fumes are pretty harsh, and you have to have a good flat iron. I would highly recommend doing it outside and have sobering help you. I wore goggles and a mask and had a fan blowing the fumes away from me, like they did in the salon.

You should definitely reapply every 2 hours, more frequently if you are wet/sweating/toweling off. The tube says it will last for 80 minutes.

I just read the other response to your inquiry and feel compelled to add that this is very good product when used as directed. I use it on my children every summer and for extended vacations in the Caribbean every winter. It must be applied at least a half hour before sun exposure and reapplied regularly.

The instructions are the put it on and let it sit for at least 4 hours before taking a shower. During that time period it will come off on your clothes. The product gives you a good tan that's for sure. My chief complaint is that it doesn't last a full week, so it can't be a weekly application thing. You'd need to put it on about every 4 days to keep it consistent which is just way too much application for me.

I have done this, but it takes careful application so that you do not have "spots", which look worse than nothing at all, and you must be sure that you are using the right shade. All in all, I have been disappointed in this product because it is difficult to apply evenly and even after waiting to get dressed, comes of on clothing.

I used to apply them at night only for a few minutes (half an hour max.); only slept with them on a couple of times or so. I noticed a slight increased effect by leaving them overnight,though. For a while, I was using them every night, then- not as often, which reminds me to go back to using them, because in my case they were very effective at smoothing wrinkles, especially my laugh lines. Hope it helps. Good luck!

I used it last summer and it did well. Of course one should reapply any sunscreen every 90 minutes, which I did.

I never actually time it. But what I do notice is after a clean face and foundation and powder, I put the tint water on my cheeks and lips and it lasts almost the whole day. If on a hot day and I sweat, I do have to reapply just a little

I love this stuff I apply 3 times a wk and if you just set a schedule it just stays on. But def let it dry first. I love the facial one as well. Used them over a yr now

I don't have time to reapply anything during the day. If you are outside all day, I would definetly reapply.

It is recommended that you apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours. One bottle might suffice, however, you may want to bring two just in case.
