Suncare Central - Suncare Facts

Water & The Sun's Rays

• We often cool down in or near water - at water-parks, swimming in sea or pools, on boats or enjoying water-sports.
• Water can make skin feel cooler, often hiding the effects of the sun until later so it’s important to use a water-resistant sun lotion.
• Refraction from the water intensifies the UV rays.
• At half a metre depth UV is still 40% as intense as at the surface.
• Use a higher factor than normal - Natural Tone Organic Skincare’s SPF30 is perfect, offering maximum protection and, being naturally biodegradable, is reef-friendly.
• Re-apply your SPF30 after you exit the water. Remember some products may be water-resistant but they will come off when drying yourself with a towel.
