True or false: You should reapply sunscreen every two hours.
True! Summer may mean long days outside, so make sure you've got your sunscreen ready and you're reapplying often. Dermatologists recommend reapplying sunscreen at least every two hours, and even more often after swimming or sweating. Aim for a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen to help protect against harmful UV rays and lower your risk of sunburn and skin damage.
