If suntan lotion is waterproof, why do we have to put it on again?


It's says "Waterproof", but then it says "apply every 4 to 5 hours" How can that be, either it's waterproof or it's NOT?

I have a friend who worked for the makers of a certain suntan oil. He says the mixture is waterproof for a short time due to the harsh chemicals could very well cause the body to be cheated from adequate oxygen through the pores of the skin, to last longer. It seems there were some Africans who covered their bodies with paint that had the same kind of chemicals as contained in sun tan oils and lotions. Some of the African children died.(1964)
The same chemicals were once used in the USA to make different color chicken biddies; they died and thus led a ban on coloring biddies and rabbits in thirty-eight states.
Just apply every four to six hours; it is for the betterment of your health.

Does sound travel better through air or water?

It's waterproof, but the effect wears off over 4 or 5 hours, It's like a barrier being constantly bombarded. It will hold up a defence, but will break down after 4-5 hrs of constant bombardment from the sun. The time limit's got more to do with the sun than water. Plus, the water amplifies the sunlight making the defences wear down quicker. That's why it's easier to get sunburnt in the water.
