How to use
At the end of your skincare routine, apply an appropriate amount evenly to your skin. Recommend applying multiple layers to prevent uneven application. If you use too little, you will not get sufficient sun protection. To maintain its effectiveness, reapply frequently. In particular, if you wipe away sweat a lot (at the beach, in the mountains, while playing sports, etc). Be sure to reapply frequently after sweating or drying with a towel. To remove, rinse with a cleanser.
