An appointment to exercise? You bet!

Applying sunscreen? Don't be stingy
Most people use sunscreen too sparingly. If you use sunscreen generously and frequently, a bottle of sunscreen shouldn't last long.

If you have a 4-ounce (118-milliliter) bottle, you'll use about one-fourth of it during one application.
