Sunscreen

All our sunscreens are rated between SPF30+ and SPF50+ (SPF50+ is the highest...). They're designed specifically for Cancer Council, to be broad spectrum which means they protect against UVA and UVB radiation.

Directions: Apply sunscreen liberally and evenly to dry skin at least 15-20 minutes before going out into the sun. On an average sized adult, approximately 35ml should be applied. This is the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of sunscreen to each arm, leg, front of body, back of body and face (including neck and ears).

To ensure adequate protection, Cancer Council recommends all sunscreens be re-applied every 2 hours or after swimming, exercising and towel drying. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and always wear protective clothing, a broad-brim hat and sunglasses when out in the sun.
