Mineral Sunscreen for Snorkelling
Build a practical sunscreen routine for reef tours, lagoons, beaches and tropical holidays.
Before entering the water
Apply generously and evenly according to the label.
Remember exposed edges
Pay attention to ears, neck, backs of legs and the edges of swimwear.
Use physical cover
Rash shirts and swim leggings reduce exposed skin.
After snorkelling
Reapply as directed after swimming or towelling.
Why snorkelling needs planning
Snorkellers can spend long periods face-down in reflective water, with the back, shoulders and legs heavily exposed.
Choose portable packaging
A 100g tube suits beach bags. Sachets are useful for travel and group tours.
Keep the marine environment clean
Secure all packaging and avoid leaving caps, sachets or tubes near the shoreline.
