Sun protection FAQs
What SPF should I use in Ireland? SPF30 is a sensible daily minimum; choose SPF50+ for children, fair skin or strong sun.
How often should I reapply? Every two hours, and after swimming, sweating or towelling.
How much should I apply? Most people under-apply — use about a teaspoon for the face and a shot-glass amount for the body.
