The sunscreen mistake that matters more than your SPF
16 August 2026 7 min read 985 views 0
The best sunscreen is not the fanciest one, but the one you apply generously, carry with you and reapply throughout a South African summer day.
Key takeaways
- Reapply sunscreen every two hours and more often when swimming or sweating.
- Use enough product and cover the ears, scalp parting and other easily missed areas.
- Water-resistant sunscreen is not waterproof and has a time limit.
- Tinted mineral sunscreen may offer added visible-light protection for pigmentation concerns.
- Clouds and car windows do not remove the need for sun protection.
