How long before taking it for sun exposure protection?

I can't remember. I did not even know it had this benefit till some time after I started taking it and I realized I did not sunburn.

Each time I apply it I usually reapply in 3 hours.... That's just a rule of thumb for all sunscreen. My family of 4 has used it since May with a week at Lake Powell in the middle of summer and there is about 1/8 left... I will reorder for Spring Break but the current one will last through the Christmas ski vacation.

I apply it first before sunscreen. It should be used as an anti aging moisturizer instead of makeup as it protects from the sun.

8 hrs is pretty long for any sunscreen. This Zinka works very well and goes on clear so my kids do use before school. We live in Hawaii, lots of sun, however I would say it should be reapplied after 5-6 hrs.

Personally I would wait at least 24 hours to use this after a spray tan session before applying it. Other than that, I use it daily whether I tan or not.

I normally wear it for 30 mins to an hour, to be safe I'd start off at 30 mins just to make sure you don't have any type of sensitivity and slowly work your way up, hope that helps

It depends on temp and humidity. IMHO waiting too long is worse then removing early. When too dry it's hard and takes a lot too remove. Too early and you're just moving it around. You'll know as you start removing it if you have to wait a little longer. Typical 80 degree day, I'd say less than an hour. Obtw I would not put on in direct sun unless I worked small sections at a time.

You can leave the product on your skin for up to five minutes. But I would not recommend any longer than five minutes. You will run the risk of burning your skin.

I use this product once every 7 to 10 days and allow my skin to rebuild collagen..... Also I use this product 6 weeks on and 6 weeks off....I back off during end of spring and summer.because of warmer weather and the sun rays. Please wear a sunscreen of no less than 30. I also use a mixture of aloe, shea butter, and coca butter after I neutralize peel. I hope this helps you...

http://www.epi-pet.com/sunscreen.aspx ---states the sunscreen rates about an spf 30-40 (in human sunscreens) but you need to reapply every 2-4 hours they are outside or every 80 minutes if they are getting wet.

If you burn easily I wouldn't! Also this is designed for indoor tanning use. It has no SPF in it. If you were going to use it outside I say 5-10 mins max.

You'll just need to reapply more often. SPF measures how long it will take for you to sunburn.

I squirt about a teaspoonful or so in my hands and apply to arms and then another amount for face and neck area, my legs and feet when wearing sandals. I try to apply it all over about 15 or so minutes before I go outside. I work on our farm so if I'm really sweating I'll reapply or if I've been outside for an extended period of time. The container says to reapply about 80 minutes after swimming, toweling dry, to reapply every two hours for best sun protection.

You might want 2. I used probably 1/2 in 3 weeks or so. Make sure it is SPF 30 and you won't need to use suncscreen. I used it on everywhere except face.

It would be good to use this in the morning, and maybe something else at night.SPF lotions require that you rub them in, otherwise they leave white residue. So, that could perhaps cause irritation though I don't hear anyone complain about that.If you aren't going to be in the sun for more than 10 minutes you probably don't need SPF, unless you are using AHA (Glycolic Acid) or Benzoyl Peroxide on your face--they increase your sensitivity to UV light.

No, it's a thicker crème that has a white sheen to it. I normally wait 10 to 15 minutes after applying to use make-up. A light powder works best over the sunscreen.

This one has the expiration date at the bottom (two years). I try to use sunscreens with natural ingredients within one year. I found that using this one every day (as you should, regardless of the weather), lasts me about 3-4 months.
