items I am a pale, pale person, and have a history of skin cancer in the family. I take sun care quite seriously…but I also have MASSIVE sensory issues around sun care products. These will all be products I’ve worn that don’t weigh down my face in product,...

Sprays, Creams, and Screens
My favourite facial sunscreen, hands down. Not greasy, so light weight, no scent, no sensory issues here.
Daily Invisible Gel SPF 40 Sunscreen
By far best non-aerosol I’ve used. It goes on so lightly and doesn’t leave a greasy residue. Doesn’t leave marks on your clothes; it’s lovely. The only downside is that the scent is bothering my barely functioning nasal passageways. But I wrote to th...
Non Aerosol SPF 30 Body Spray Sunscreen
I love this sun cream. It just feels like moisturiser going on. I honestly prefer using the cream on my arms and places where the sun hits you the most. The only downside is that the scent is bothering my barely functioning nasal passageways. But I w...
Sheer Moisturizing SPF Lotion
I purchased this when I was last in the UK as I left my normal sun cream at home. As a normal old sun cream, I love it. Not sticky, goes on super smooth, and it truly has no scent.
It felt a little too heavy for my face. Specifically around the nos...
SPF 50 Fragrance Free Face Sunscreen Lotion
Caps, Cossies, and Coverups
Is there a peek-a-boo section at the back? Yes. Is this still a cute arse cossie that mostly keeps your top half from getting burnt? Also yes.
Women's Jetstream Long Sleeve Colorblock One Piece Red
I’m not normally one for big branding on things, but I think this crop rash guard is excellent.
Women's Jetstream Long Sleeve Colorblock Crop Rashguard Blue
Sandcloud is a great company with a great mission. This 100% cotton coverup won’t fully protect you from UVA/UVB rays, but it’ll be a stylish way to have some protection while drying off!
Whitehaven Cover Up Dress
Dresses, Shirts, and Jackets
A great deal of the time I prefer to cover my body so I don’t have to deal with the sticky sun cream/spray feeling.
I got a version of this with a hood about a year ago. I was doing a show and needed something lightweight for the stage. When shoppi...
Soothfeel Women's UPF 50+ Lightweight Athletic Jacket
I cannot recommend long sleeved linen shirts enough. Lightweight, stylish, and easy to throw over a dress, or pair with your favourite summer bottoms. Not to mention no synthetics.
100% European Linen Long Sleeve Shirt in Blue Pinstripe
This is a linen blend for those who may need a slightly cheaper option. Still great for covering up, but I would recommend going with the 100% linen as it’ll last longer and be a better garment overall.
Linen-Blend Loose Button-Down Shirt | Old Navy
Another option, this time 100% cotton! Might be a better option for those in between months. Remember, the sun is out everyday so your sun care routine is not just for the summer!
PACT Women's Carmel Stripe All Day Poplin Classic Shirt 2XL
Pair this with a hat, sunnies, and some sun cream on your arms and chest, and you’ll be cool, covered, and stylish.
Agonda Gauze Tunic Dress
Another great option to stay cool and keep the sun off your shoulders!
Anjuna Gauze Shirt
