The idea is that unprompted most people only apply about half as much sunscreen as they need to be applying.

Applying the amount they would normally apply twice, helps brings them closer to the amount that they should be applying.

Applying two layers at 1mg/cm^2 will give you the same coverage as applying one layer at 2mg/cm^2. If you’re already aware and applying the required amount (2mg/cm^2) then applying your sunscreen twice isn’t necessary.

Apply a layer, let it dry, then apply a second layer.”

By this do they mean apply 1mg and then another 1mg on top of that? I definitely like the idea of applying two layers, but I’m a little worried about having a sunscreen mask on! XD
