Usage Tips from Max Beauty:
- It is recommended to use an appropriate sunscreen on the entire face, then apply the stick over the most sensitive and exposed areas.
- Swipe the stick several times over the area to get a sufficient layer; very light application may not provide the advertised level of protection.
- When using around the eyes, apply only to the orbital bone and avoid contact with the eye and inner eyelid.
- Use only on completely healed scars, and do not apply to open wounds or inflamed skin.
- Keep it in your bag for easy reapplication during travel, work, and trips.
- Don't forget to protect your ears and sides of the nose; these are areas that often don't get enough sunscreen.
- Keep the stick away from the car and extremely hot places to prevent its texture from changing.
- Use a hat and sunglasses and reduce direct exposure during midday; sunscreen alone does not provide complete protection.
