But feel free to test it by doing several test patches and going sunbathing.

I had 7 1x1 cm squares exposed to various doses of UV to burn me to varying degrees. Then after a week or so the took 6 skin biopsies for them to test. There's now 6 small scars on my right buttock. In fact my arse looks like a 6/blank domino.

You'd be watering down the most effective, so at best 8, at worst something between 4 and 8.

However, as laymen we know that the delivery method is the cream which obviously mostly evaporates or has the moisture content absorbed into the skin leaving the protecting agent behind. If the mechanism for this was to leave a layer of UV-filtering chemicals on the skin then applying in two layers would allow you greater protection (on the assumption that the second application did not damage the first layer in any way). To summise: Stop being a pov and go and buy better sun cream! |
