FAQ
How often should I reapply sunscreen?
Every two hours at minimum, or immediately after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying—whichever comes first.
Does the TanMeter timer work on Apple Watch?
Yes. The TanMeter watch app shows a live countdown and taps your wrist when reapplication is due.
Can I set different timers for face and body?
TanMeter lets you run separate face and body timers since facial sunscreen often wears off faster from touching and sweating.
