How does a sunscreen with insect repellent work?
It works by combining two different types of active ingredients into a single, stable formula. The challenge is ensuring the ingredients work together without interfering with each other, and without creating a product that feels like a chemical slick on your skin.
Do I need to reapply it differently than regular sunscreen?
You should reapply it just as you would a regular sunscreen: at least every two hours, and more frequently after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying. This ensures you're maintaining both your sun and insect protection.
