I am truly terrible at reapplying my SPF—this protective mist takes the hard work out of topping up

I never skip applying facial sunscreen to my face. I wear it every single day without fail. However, like so many, when it comes to reapplying it later on in the day, I’m a lot less reliable. I am fully aware that experts advise topping up sun protection every couple of hours, but if I’m honest, it’s not very often that I remember to do it.

I know I’m not the only one. A quick survey of my friends and colleagues revealed that I'm not alone in this. Most of them told me that they are strict with application during their early morning routine, but then tend to go all day without any top-ups. For me, there are two reasons that it doesn't end up happening: being busy and not thinking about it, and worrying that reapplication will disrupt my make-up. What I need is an SPF to apply over make-up.
