does my sunscreen still work?
BTW... it's so freakin hard to find neutrogena active protect men's face lotion spf50+. even their main website doesn't have it. i need to find a replacement. im down to 1.
anyway... i put sunscreen 30 mins before going to work.
i work 8hrs and 1hr lunch. indoors almost all the time except when i have to walk dogs or assist clients outside the hospital.
when it's time to go home, is it still protecting me?
i know if you're under the sun all day... you should reapply every 2 hours or so. but what if im indoors in between?
thanks.

Reapply. You'll gradually sweat it out/absorb it/rub it off on your clothes.

It stays on all day if you're not sweating, rubbing on it, or going in a pool. You only have to reapply after one of those. You can put it on in the AM and it'll be good all through the day.
I've tested this both with swimming and cycling when I knew I had a 4PM high summer workout, either swim or bike with no time to apply it after work. (You can imagine how ridiculous I'd look in the bathroom smearing that stuff onto my chest,back etc in prep for swimming. Cycling it's easy - just face and legs and arms.) Works all day.
Reapply after sweat, pool, shower, or rubbing off.
