Sunscreen on skin + permethrin on clothing

Putting sunscreen on skin and permethrin on clothing avoids the SPF-reducing interaction of mixing sunscreen with skin repellents.

Steps

schema.org/HowTo

01
Treat or buy permethrin-treated shirt, pants, and socks.
02
Apply sunscreen to face, neck, arms, and any exposed skin per label.
03
Add a skin tick repellent only if exposed skin remains; apply after sunscreen absorbs.
04
Reapply sunscreen on its normal schedule; permethrin keeps working through washes.
