You should apply your Riemann P20 sunscreen liberally around 15 minutes before you’re planning to go out into the sun.
Massage the lotion or spray into your skin, making sure that vulnerable areas like your shoulders and feet are covered properly.
To protect your face, spray or pour a small amount of P20 into your hands and rub it onto your face, making sure it’s well covered, don’t spray this product directly onto your face.
Reapply after you’ve been swimming, after towel drying your skin, or if you’ve been sweating a lot.
You can take Riemann P20 products with you in your hand luggage if you’re going on a plane.
However, you can only take the 100ml lotions or sprays and these must be packed into a clear plastic bag that can be presented during security checks at the airport.

As well as wearing a good quality sunscreen, we recommend wearing light clothing that can help to protect vulnerable areas from the fun.
For example, you should wear a hat to protect the sensitive skin on your scalp, which can be very difficult to protect with sun creams or sprays, and a pair of sunglasses can help to protect the delicate skin around your eyes.
The sun is always at its strongest between 11 am and 3 pm, so if you can find some shade during those hours, your skin will thank you for it.
The NHS recommends using a sunscreen that has at least an SPF of 30 to protect your skin against UVB rays.
Also, make sure your sunscreen or daytime moisturiser has at least a 4-star UVA protection rating.
This applies whether you have a darker skin tone or skin that tans easily - you can still get skin damage if you don’t apply sunscreen.
Sun cream isn’t just important on warm, sunny days, but on cloudy and rainy days, too.
Without wearing a layer of sun cream, your skin is at risk of being exposed to harmful UV rays which can lead to skin damage, wrinkles, sunburn, and sometimes skin cancer.
It’s important to wear an SPF of at least 30 to ensure you’re protected.
Sunscreen usually lasts for at least 3 years before it goes bad, and after this time, it becomes less effective at blocking UV rays, increasing your chances of getting sunburn or skin cancer.
However, if your bottle is less than 3 years old but it’s been left in a hot car for a couple of months, it probably won’t be very effective, either.
