Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen was developed to combat one of
the most intense UV environments in the world. Tested according
to Australian Standards, Blue Lizard maintains its extreme water resistance after 240 minutes in whirlpool water. Meanwhile, the FDA requires testing for 80 minutes in still water.
All Blue Lizard formulas offer more than 30 times your skin's natural protection against UVB rays. We list our SPF at 30+ to preserve the integrity of our Australian roots. If you are applying correctly, SPF 30 is really all you need, and 30 is all that Australian Standards will allow sunscreens to claim!
Sun Safety
Tips for preventing skin cancer and sun damage:
- Reduce exposure during the sun's peak hours, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you must be in the sun, make sure you have the proper gear: protective clothing, sunglasses, broad-brim hat, and broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 15.
- Reapply sunscreen every two hours to maintain protection. And always reapply after being in the water, even if the bottle says "waterproof."
- Use only broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. SPF only tells you how much protection from UVB (the "burning" rays) the product provides. For protection against UVA (the "aging" rays), look for sunscreen that contains at least 5 percent Zinc Oxide.
- UVA rays are constant throughout the year. Sunscreen should be worn when it's cloudy and in every season.
- Check your UV index.
- Visit your dermatologist once a year for a complete body screening.
- If the fair complexion look isn't for you, get a tan the healthy way - with a self-tanner. Many allow you to build a tan according to how dark you want to be. Try this: After you shower, apply a gradual self-tanner. A few minutes later, apply Blue Lizard. The antioxidant-enriched and superior moisturizing properties of Blue Lizard will ensure even application of the tanner and - even better - you've accomplished the only true way to get a healthy tan.
How to apply sunscreen:
Because most sunscreens provide a water-resistant base and therefore will not adhere to wet surfaces, it is extremely important to apply to dry skin before going outdoors.
An average adult should use the equivalent of 1 fluid ounce per full-body application. While Blue Lizard will remain effective longer, it's recommended that all sunscreen is reapplied every two hours. Also remember to reapply after vigorous activity or toweling off.
For external use only. When using this product keep out of eyes. Rinse with water to remove. Stop use and ask doctor if rash or irritation develops and lasts. Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.
