Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Solex applicator, ensure the cap is securely removed and the foam head is clean. The device is designed for simplicity: simply press the applicator to dispense the desired amount of lotion and spread evenly. Compatibility is universal across all skin types due to the oxybenzone-free formula, but it is always best to perform a patch test if you have sensitive skin. Regarding care, rinse the foam head with warm water after use to prevent sunscreen buildup, which can cause the foam to harden or harbor bacteria. Store the device away from direct sunlight to prevent the formula from separating inside the container.
