SPF40 Sunscreen Spray Care & Use Guide: How to Apply, Reapply & Store

Learn how to correctly apply SPF40 Sunscreen Spray, reapply for continuous protection, store it properly, and understand sun safety best practices. This complete Scentemy Sunscreen Care Guide helps you protect your skin effectively every day.


How to Apply SPF40 Sunscreen Spray Correctly

For effective sun protection, apply SPF40 Sunscreen Spray generously to clean, dry skin before sun exposure. Sunscreen must be applied evenly to create a protective barrier against harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Hold the bottle approximately 10–15 cm away from the skin and spray evenly over exposed areas of the face and body.

For facial application, spray onto hands first and gently spread across the face, avoiding direct contact with the eyes.

Allow the sunscreen to absorb fully before sun exposure or dressing.

 

How Often to Reapply for Maximum Protection

Sunscreen effectiveness decreases over time due to sweat, swimming, towel-drying, and natural skin oils. Reapplication is essential for continued protection.

  • Reapply every 2 hours during sun exposure
  • Reapply immediately after swimming or excessive sweating
  • Reapply after towel-drying

Even water-resistant sunscreens require regular reapplication to maintain protection.

 

Sun Exposure & Protection Guidelines

Sunscreen is only one part of a complete sun protection routine. For optimal skin safety, combine SPF use with additional protective measures.

  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure between 10:00 and 15:00
  • Wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses
  • Seek shade whenever possible
  • Use a minimum of SPF30 daily, even on cloudy days

Consistent sun protection helps reduce the risk of sunburn, premature ageing, and long-term skin damage.

 

Storage & Handling

Store SPF40 Sunscreen Spray in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and prolonged heat exposure.

  • Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use
  • Avoid leaving in cars or direct sun
  • Do not expose to freezing temperatures

Proper storage helps maintain formula stability and sunscreen effectiveness.

 

Caution & Safety

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse immediately with clean water if contact occurs. Do not apply to broken, inflamed, or irritated skin. Discontinue use if irritation or rash develops. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid prolonged sun exposure even when using sunscreen.
