straight away is my guess
itl last longer and look fresher the more you keep it away from direct sources of light

i was advised that if i wanted mine to keep in best condition, to put suncream on whenever i go out with it exposed to the sun.

just make sure when you go on a sun holiday that you put a high factor over any work you have done, even if you put a lower factor on everywhere else
