Okay, I’ll admit it. I don’t actually use sunscreen, ever. But I’ve never had a sunburn, either, other than once my nose turned a bit pink and my shoulders felt sandpapery after going out on the boat for 5 hours.

But now that I have kids, and now that I’m getting older, I have started buying sunscreen and putting it on the kids and have been considering using it for myself as well. I asked a good friend for a recommendation because she has very light skin and burns badly if she ever thinks about going in the sun without sunblock, so I trust her recs.

She says Blue Lizard Australian Suncream is the best, hands down. You have to generally get it from the pharmacist, apparently it is a behind the counter kind of thing, but it works excellently and leaves your skin feeling soft, not greasy. The greasy feeling is one of the biggest reasons I hate sunscreen so much, so I am definitely going to give this a try.

Next time you’re in the garden, why not give Blue Lizard a try?
