The sun doesn't shine just at the beach! Even a simple walk, an afternoon in the park, or a few hours in the garden can expose your skin to UV rays. That's why it's important to always protect yourself, not just on vacation: sunscreen should be used always, to prevent sunburn, signs of aging, and to protect your skin every day smartly.
On our website and app, you can find a wide selection of sunscreens for both adults and children, in standard and travel sizes to travel light while respecting airline regulations.
Sunscreens for every day
We often tend to use sunscreen only at the beach, in the mountains, or at the pool, but actually it's essential to apply it every day, even if it's cloudy, because UV rays still reach our skin. Whether at home or on vacation, 200–250 ml sizes are perfect for everyday use.
Among these, we recommend:
- Nivea Sun Protect & Hydrate SPF 50, 30 o 20 (200 ml): it protects and simplifies an intense tan, non-greasy, ideal for the whole family. The water-resistant formula respects the oceans and protects the skin's microbiome.
- Bilboa Sapori di Aloe latte SPF 30 o 50 (250 ml): perfect for sensitive skins, it hydrates and ensures high protection.
- Delice Crema Solare Bronze intensiva SPF 30 (250 ml): with carotene, walnut husk, and aloe vera for a uniform tan, dermatologically tested.
- Hawaiian Tropic Oil Spray FP 20 (200 ml): dry oil spray fast absorbing. Tropical fragrance.
- Prep Latte Solare Dermoprotettivo SPF 20 o 30 offers a reliable daily protection, dermatologically tested, and water-resistant.
Sunscreens for kids
Children's skin is delicate and needs to be protected with waterproof sunscreens. Here are some recommended products:
- Nivea Kids Protect & Spray 50+ (270 ml) specially developed for children's skin and extra waterproof.

How to apply sunscreens correctly
Doubts often arise about how often you should reapply sunscreen throughout the day or whether you should reapply it after swimming. Here are some tips on how to apply sunscreen for effective protection:
- Use generous quantity: about 30 ml (two tablespoons) is enough to cover your face and body—don't skimp, especially since most sunscreens last 12 months after opening!
- Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before exposure, so your skin absorbs the sunscreen.
- Reapply it every 2 hours, especially if you sweat, get wet, or towel dry.
- Do not forget sensitive areas like ears, lips, around the eyes, neck, and scalp (especially for children).
- Carry a stick or spray that's easy to reapply throughout the day (like the travel-size mentioned above).
Sunscreens are essential for our health: they protect the skin, prevent long-term damage, and even maintain your tan. Opt for travel-size sunscreen if you're out and about, on your motorcycle, at the park, or at the beach, and choose larger sizes if you use sunscreens regularly with your family.
Remember: generous quantity, application before sun exposure, and several applications throughout the day are the golden rules. Happy summer!
