Nandini Millar Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hello all, I have been confused about what to do about sunscreen lotions !!!! What do you all suggest should I try and shipped them from here or should I just leave them? I am a bit particular about what sunscreens I used as I have few favourites here. Or am I being silly and picky? Thank you all x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Snowball Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 If you have particular onesyou like bring them. I only use Piz Buin as others seem to give me a sort of prickly heat rash! You can’t buy that in Australia so I got people to send some. Just be aware you need a decent spf. SPF30 should do it. Any higher just tends to increase the chemicals rather than the protection, or that certainly was the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the unbranded ones seems to work better and some of my other favourites. I tend to look for spf50 but good to know spf30 is the better one.

Skani Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Bring the ones you like but bear in mind that EU and AS/NZ standards for testing sunscreens are different - so an EU SPF 30 may not be equivalent to an AS/NZ SPF 30. The Australian standard requires the sunscreen to survive a certain time in swirling water which the EU does not. So use yours by all means but apply them more frequently when swimming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
