I always apply it before I get dressed.

I always apply it before I get dressed.

I do that but I never know how long to wait till it’s dry and it still stains.

I've never had stains from suncream. I apply, wait about half an hour then put my bikini on and done.

Are you using P20 or similar? It might sound nice to not have to reapply it, but it really sounds like a pain in the arse and not worth the bother. A friend once told me about it and I'd already decided before she finished talking about how to apply it and all the whys and wherefores that there was no way in hell I CBA with all that.

I just use standard supermarket own brand suncream and put it on before I get dressed, also easier to not miss bits doing it that way.

I've started using Altruist, seems to sink in a lot faster! Apply before getting dressed.
