hi,
sunscreens are usually tested for 80 minutes of efficacy.
for example, if a company was making a SPF 15, the SPF would have to be at or above 15 at minute 1 and minute 81.
most sunscreens should be reapplied every two hours, and it's about 1oz (a shot) of sunscreen you should be using for your whole body each application.
have fun in the sun and be safe!

Well actually according to a news article on 'PREVENT SKIN CANCER' we should apply sunscreen at maximum 20 minutes prior to going out in the sun and always would sunscreen on face, arms, legs, back (if at beach), back of ears where sun exposure can affect and nape of neck. Keep safe. :)

How does drip irrigation work?
By applying slow amounts of water to the soil over a long period of time, the soil can absorb the water more quickly. It is the most direct form of irrigation, by applying water where only it needs it less is wasted and results in reduced water. By applying it slowly there is more time for the plant to soak up the water before evaporation.
