Habit is a sunscreen that helps prevent sunburn and reduces the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging when used correctly. It works by providing a protective barrier against the sun's harmful rays. You should apply it generously 15 minutes before going outside and reapply it after swimming or sweating, or at least every two hours. A key warning is that it should not be used on damaged or broken skin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it's important to ask a health professional before using this medication.
