 Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

If you are heading to the beach, then you certainly want to bring a selection of high SPF sunscreens, protective clothing, sunglasses and wide-brim hats with you. While there is no way to avoid the sun altogether, not that you would want to, it is important to avoid accessible exposure if you will be there all day. If you are looking to stock up on some sunscreens for your trip to the beach, and are heading to the drugstore, then take a look at some of the Hawaiian Tropic offerings in the sunscreen aisle.

Hawaiian Tropic has been making sunscreen for generations, and I remember using their sunscreens when I was just a kid. Therefore, for me there is always a level of nostalgia associated with their products. However, their range has expanded considerably and the technological advances that they employ have certainly resulted in even better products than I remember using as a child. They have so many wonderful products to get you through the warm summer months from sunscreens to after-sun moisturizers. Here are a few the sunscreens that I am placing in my husband's surfing bag:
Hawaiian Tropic Island Sport Ultra Light Broad Spectrum SPF 50 ($12.34 from Amazon): This is a very lightweight, and thoroughly non-greasy, sunscreen that sinks without leaving behind any residue whatsoever. It has a pleasant tropical scents that smells like summer at the beach, but the aroma does fade quickly. It is water resistant for about 80 minutes– which is about the time that you would want to reapply it. This is a great choice if you are going to be surfing, plying beach volleyball, jogging, or doing anything active that requires a sweat and water resistant formula. While it comes in an SPF of 15, 30 and 50, I would definitely get the SPF 50 if you are gong to be playing on the beach and in the water.

According to Hawaiian Tropic,

With the high performance protection of Hawaiian Tropic® Island Sport® sunscreen, you can feel free to get lost in the day. Enjoy ultra-light, non- greasy, sport level protection with an inviting tropical scent—great for keeping your skin looking and feeling beautiful. Available in SPF 15 / 30 / 50.

Hawaiian Tropic Island Sport Ultra Light High Performance Sunscreen SPF 50 ($12.34 for 6 oz. from Amazon and Walmart): If you prefer sunscreen sprays to lotions, then this lightweight and breathable sunscreen spray is a great alternative to Hawaiian Tropic Island Sport Ultra Light Broad Spectrum SPF 50. The trick is to make sure that you aren't missing any spots, and since it sprays clear you will want to be more vigilant. It has a pleasant tropical scent, is resistant to water and sweat, and lasts for about 80 minutes before you need to reapply it.

I would definitely opt for the higher SPF, and in order to remain effective it should ideally be reapplied every 60-80 minutes.

  1. Of course, I zoomed right in on the SPF for the face. In the past, I've found their products great for the body but way to greasy for the face. Have you tried or heard about Australian Gold? It's supposed to be non-greasy, absorbs well and leaves a velvety finish.

    1. I don't find this one too greasy, but I definitely use it more for a beach day/picnic type of situation when I'm out playing in the sun. I actually have several Australian Gold sunscreens, and haven't used them in quite a while. I think that I only have their body sunscreens though.

  2. Before switching to Cicapair I used the weightless face spf. I loved it, never too greasy despite my oily t zone. And it was so much more affordable than some. Unfortunately I have developed some redness in the past year that needed help so I stopped using this. But I do get it for the hubby who likes that there is no shine or greasy look to it.

    1. It really is a lovely sunscreen, and you can't beat the price. I gave it to my husband for his surf bag, but I will definitely use it during the summer when we head to the beach!
