Sunscreen Essentials for a Sun Safe Getaway
We’re not doctors, but we do know the Australian sun means serious sunscreen. Whether you’re hitting the beach or lounging by the pool, protecting your skin is key, especially for the kiddos. Here’s a roundup of some of our favourite Australian sunscreens, all SPF 50 for maximum protection.
Things to remember when choosing sunscreen:
Choose between creams, gels, oils, or sprays
Opt for SPF 30+ or 50+
Check the label for broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays
Make sure it’s water-resistant and reapply after swimming
Always read the label for ingredients and use-by dates

Application & Reapplication Tips Apply sunscreen generously 20-30 minutes before sun exposure, and remember to reapply every two hours, or after swimming. For adults, aim for about 5ml (one teaspoon) per area—neck, arms, legs, etc.—to keep your skin protected all day long.
Don’t forget—no sunscreen gives 100% protection, so stay sun-smart out there!
Stay safe, reapply, and enjoy the sunshine with peace of mind!
