If you’ve been around for Australia Days in the past, you’ll know that they’re usually set to ‘scorcher’. Most people love it, as it’s a perfect reflection of our sunshine-y climate – and the perfect backdrop for our celebratory BBQs and beach visits.
However, on days where the sun is at its harshest, it’s especially important to be protected from the harmful effects of UV rays. Why? Well not only is sunburn seriously not a good look, skin cancer is a very possible reality for Australians – so it definitely pays to stay protected.
Plus, on a slightly more vain note, sun exposure is the number one culprit for causing skin ageing, so if you want to stay youthful-looking, you’ll want to get your hands on one of these sunscreens just in time for your Australia Day celebration…
AUSTRALIA DAY ACTIVITY #1: BBQ
Use: Banana Boat EveryDay SPF 30+ sunscreen
Specially formulated to moisturise the skin while it protects from the sun, this SPF 30+ protection sunscreen is perfect for a casual day at a BBQ with friends. It can be applied under make-up and absorbs into your skin quickly. Better still, it offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, meaning you’ll be properly protected all day – even during a splash in the pool. Just remember to re-apply!
AUSTRALIA DAY ACTIVITY #2: SPORT
Use: Banana Boat Sport Pump SPF 30+
If your idea of a perfect Australia Day celebration is getting together with friends and family for a big game of cricket or football, ensure you’re well equipped with a sunscreen like the Sport Pump SPF 30+ from Banana Boat. Why? Well if being sweat-resistant isn’t enough, this skin protector is also non-greasy (so you won’t be able to blame your missed catches on slippery fingers!) Plus, it’s also fragrance-free to help prevent skin irritations, which makes it more than suitable for the whole family.
AUSTRALIA DAY ACTIVITY #3: BEACH
Use: Banana Boat Ultra SPF 50+
As it’s designed for people who are regularly exposed to the sun and water, the SPF 50+ Ultra Sunscreen from Banana Boat is the perfect sun-protection solution for the beach bunnies among us. If you plan to hit the beach with your family and friends on January 26th, make sure you’re armed with this super-protecting sunscreen to help prevent any damage to your skin. The fact that it’s water-resistant for up to four hours means also that you can hit the waves without having to re-apply as often.
