Tips for sun protection on-the-go

by Allison Harvey

If you are searching for a new sunscreen format to help protect your skin on the go, look no further than Natio sun invisible protection – now available in both a stick application and mist. Both formulas are traditional sunscreen formats, made in Australia and offer very high sun protection, SPF 50+.

Personally, I am in my routine era and that means I apply sunscreen every. single. day. At Natio, we say, that every day is a great day to apply sunscreen!

However, if I am 100% honest at times I have struggled to remember to re-apply or top up my sunscreen throughout the day. In Australia, governing bodies advise that you should re-apply throughout the day and compliment your sun protection with other elements of sun protection (hat, shade, clothing ect).

Luckily, here comes Natio to save my skin. With 2 new innovations that I know will make an everyday appearance in my tote as they both offer a solution to my sunscreen routine – and that’s reapplication! After trialing both formats I just know my kids especially will love the melty, quick stick application – hand free and easy to use. While a quick spritz of the mist will help me apply and reapply each day throughout the day.
