We recommend that you reapply every 2 hours to be safe and more often is you are swimming or perspiring heavily.

I highly recommend re-applying sunscreen every two hours for the ultimate protection. Don't forget to wear a hat and put sunscreen on your ears if the hat does not cover them. We see high instances of skin cancer on the scalp and ears because people forget to protect these areas.
