Sun-Smart Essentials
These are the sun protection essentials I actually use myself — lightweight, packable, and helpful for staying sun-safe while traveling.
Wallaroo Hat Company — Victoria
These are the hats I reach for on every sunny trip. They’re lightweight, pack easily into a suitcase or day bag, and hold their shape surprisingly well. I like that they offer solid sun protection without feeling bulky, and they work for everything from walking around a new city to a day at the beach.
I use these when I know I’ll be spending long stretches in the sun or in and out of the water. They dry quickly, are comfortable to move in, and give great coverage without feeling heavy. Perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, or just being active outdoors
This swimsuit has been a reliable option for trips where I want more coverage and comfort without fuss. It’s easy to wear, dries quickly, and works well on its own or paired with the swim leggings for extra sun protection.
Shiseido Clear Stick Sunscreen SPF 50
This is my go-to sunscreen for travel. It goes on clear and the solid stick format makes it easy to reapply throughout the day. Its compact size fits perfectly in a purse or small bag, and it’s ideal for traveling since it’s leak-free and TSA-friendly.
