Spray into your hands, not directly onto your skin.

Yes, that’s the trick. The wind and the mist make direct spraying uneven, and you miss spots. Plus you breathe in a cloud of chemicals.

Instead: spray a generous amount into your palms (like two good pumps per limb), then rub it on like lotion. You’ll get even coverage without the cloudy guessing game. It takes an extra ten seconds and actually works.

For your face, spray into your hands first too, then pat on. Avoid the eyes.

This is the one time “spray and pray” is not your friend.
