One of the smartest steps in your routine for younger looking skin is sunscreen. Daily sun protection helps prevent premature wrinkles and age spots caused by UV exposure. But applying sunscreen before breakfast does not mean your skin is protected through an afternoon outside.
Reapplication is part of the routine. When outdoors, reapply every two hours and immediately after swimming or sweating. Follow the product label, including instructions after towel drying. Choose broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher, apply generously, and combine sunscreen with shade and protective clothing.

Then consider a practical question: Where will your sunscreen be when you need to reapply?
In a beach bag across the sand? In the car while you are out walking? At home while your morning outing turns into an afternoon?
Safe Band Pro is designed to bring sunscreen within reach. Its refillable wrist dispenser lets you carry your chosen sunscreen lotion and dispense it into your hand for application while you are out enjoying your day.
Having sunscreen handy makes the next application more convenient. Still apply enough to cover exposed skin and follow your sunscreen’s directions every time.
