Do I need to use sunscreen every day?

Accepted Answer

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Not necessarily. Primally Pure's philosophy emphasizes responsible, intentional sun exposure rather than avoiding the sun completely.

How long does it take to build sun resilience?

Accepted Answer

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Building a \"sun callus,\" or natural skin resilience, typically takes several weeks of consistent and gradual exposure.
