Body Sunscreen Recommendations

Been a few months now but I religiously use Ultra Violette Bod Brigade (the large version of Extreme Screen SPF 50+ for the body. Very light and non-greasy. Excellent protection. I keep a pump bottle at home and in the office.

Nivea UV super water gel SPF 50 pa+++ it will give you instant protection and it doesn’t leave a white cast but dewy finish on the skin.

An Aerosol is good enough for me. I don’t get sunburnt when using it.

I’ve read that body sprays don’t really cut it as most people don’t apply enough for it to provide you with sufficient coverage.

I quite like Hamilton, Cancer Council and Nivea. Nivea have a 3 in 1 which moisturises as well.

Agree with the banana boat. My daily body sunscreen. As well as the wet skin la Roche. Both very good. Bondi sands body sprays are good too.

For my bod, I like the Banana boat ones that have ‘dry touch’ written on them. It helps the sand not to stick so much.

I would also recommend Hamilton sunscreens (you can buy them from Chemist Warehouse). They are a dupe for Mecca’s sunscreens (I am loathe to recommend Mecca’s sunscreens though – love them but hate Mecca and will not support them if I can help it).

Thanks for the recommendations. I’ve heard great things about the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Wet Skin Sunscreen SPF 50+ one. I’ll be sure to check out some of the others too.

Natio Moisturising Sun Lotion SPF 50+. It’s non greasy, fragrance free and doesn’t leave a white cast.

@Skincare Aussie: you say you want to be protected if you’re outside for extended periods – you ought to rethink that! Aus leads the world in skin cancer, so you should wear it daily. I apply it to my arms, neck, décolletage (quick to show premature ageing) & the back of my neck if I wear my hair up. I wear it year-round, not just through summer.
