Most sunscreens will only last about four hours. Sunscreens will not prevent you from burning, they simply slow the process. You should reapply sunscreen often, usually after a swim or work-out is a good time. Even water resistant types are less effective once wet. Reapply every couple of hours if you´re only sitting in the sun.
