Geo55, personally I would reapply it just in case!

I was just wondering… if I apply sunscreen in the morning (I use Elta 47) and I am home all day (near windows but not with any sun streaming in- so just indirect light), do I need to reapply sunscreen if I leave the house later in the day after 4 pm, for example? I often get confused regarding the 2 hour rule because that applies if you are outside under the sun…and not indoors! Thanks for clarifying.

That’s so true, H. Thanks so much for the remainder. It’s sad that people spend more for something that’s not necessary. A lower SPF can work just as well, if not better, and save you money, too.

Hi Gio! Guess what? I know this has been a long time since I posted my last comment for this article but I just found out that no UVB rays go through windows so that’s good news for everybody who knows there isn’t much difference in a spf 30 and 100 but are tempted by the high number anyway. If more people knew this they’d less likely spend extra $$$ on an extremely high spf number. Like, I guess this should have occurred to me earlier since the reason we all have to wear sunscreen indoors is ’cause of the UVA,but I guess it’s never occurred to people that buy the SPF 100 anyway.Just wanted to share. Love your blog!

H, I don’t think chemical sunscreens cause cancer, but I agree with everything else you said. Getting enough sun exposure to produce all the vitamin d you need, and using a mineral sunscreen with a lower spf the rest of the time is indeed the best way to keep your skin protected and yourself safe and healthy. Thank you your thoughtful comment.

H, better stay away, from them, isn’t it?
