How do I use Altruist SPF 50 Sunscreen?

 Always read the information provided on the box and/or leaflet.

Apply generously to all exposed areas of skin 20 minutes before sun exposure and reapply frequently. Avoid contact with eyes. Cover up with protective clothing and a hat where possible, and avoid prolonged exposure to midday sun. Excessive sun exposure can be harmful. Babies and young children should not be exposed to direct sunlight. The sunscreen should be used within 12 months of opening.

How Long Does Sunscreen Last?

The NHS recommends reapplying sunscreen at least every 2 hours, as the sun can dry it off your skin. This should be done sooner if swimming, towelling or exercising.

Sunscreen generally lasts 6 to 12 months after opening, but this can vary. Check the information on the packaging and leaflet, including the expiry date.

If you have any severe side effects, stop use immediately and seek medical assistance as soon as possible.
