Applying sunscreen

I have doubt regarding applying the sunscreen 1)Can we wash the face for every 3 hrs before applying the sunscreen? Or else we can directly apply the sunscreen without washing the sweat and dirt on face? We need to wash the sweat with water before applying the sunscreen or we can directly apply the sunscreen without face wash? Please give me your valuable answers

Hi, you can apply sunscreen after 3 hrs if you are in sun for long time. Can wash with only water if you are sweaty or in dusty area.
