At Solbari, we know that prevention is the best cure when it comes to keeping skin healthy and protecting skin against the risks of melanoma and skin cancer.
There are many ways to stay safe in the sun, make positive skin choices and embrace a life outdoors.
Here are our tips to healthy, protected skin all year round:
- Wear sunscreen daily - Choose a broad-spectrum SPF50+ daily. Broad-spectrum sunscreens block UVA and UBA rays and are best applied generously on all exposed areas of skin 20 minutes before exposure, and reapplied every throughout the day, especially if you’ve been swimming or sweating.
- Choose UPF50+ fabrics - engineered to protect you, UPF50+ certified fabrics offer the highest sun protection on the market, blocking up to 98% of UV rays from reaching the skin. Here at Solbari, every product is tested and rated UPF50+ by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), the gold standard in UV protection testing.

- Wear sunglasses that block UV Radiation.
- Seek shade when possible - remember that even on cloudy days, 80% of UV rays can still pass through the clouds. Heat is not equal to UV and even on cooler days, the UV can still be strong and sun protection is recommended.Remember that heat is not equal to UV. Even on cooler sunny days, the UV can still be strong and sun protection is recommended.
