If you're out playing tennis at nine o'clock in the morning, it's hot and sweaty, you're blowing your nose, rubbing your face, you need to reapply as soon as you've finished.
If you're out playing golf, you need to reapply halfway because you're out there for four to five hours.

If they're going for a very long run, it's very important to wear clothes, a high neck, sleeves in.

Even on the steroids?
