At BeachSupplies.co.uk, we’re all about sunshine without the stress (or the sunburn). Staying sun-smart is easy, a few smart swaps and you’re free to soak up every golden moment — safely.
Here’s your beach-smart cheat sheet 👇
SPF — your daily essential
SPF isn’t just for holiday mode. Make it part of your everyday routine. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ to shield against both UVA (ageing) and UVB (burning). The higher the star rating, the stronger the UVA protection. Simple.
UVA & UVB — the sneaky duo
UV rays are around even when it’s cloudy. They’re responsible for up to 80% of premature skin ageing.
Use the two-finger rule for your face: squeeze sunscreen along your index and middle fingers — that’s your sweet spot for face and neck coverage. Don’t forget the rest of your body needs love too.
Know your skin
Sensitive skin? Mineral sunscreens (with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) are your beach bestie — gentle, effective, and increasingly eco-friendly.
Prefer lightweight formulas? Chemical SPFs might be more your thing. The best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually wear.
Top it up
Swimming, sweating, towelling off — they all reduce protection. Reapply every two hours to keep your glow protected from sunrise to sunset.

Pack smart. Protect smarter. And get back to the important stuff… like that sunlounger with your name on it.
