Alternatives

• Sun-protective clothing— No reapplying; only covers what it covers.

Maintenance notes

• Replace at the expiration date — old sunscreen loses protection.
• Reef-safe formulas matter on the water.

Buying considerations

• SPF 30+ broad-spectrum is the practical floor.
• A stick works for faces without greasy hands.
