    Environment

    Sun Protection Abroad

    Sun exposure is often stronger than travellers expect, particularly near the equator, at altitude, or reflected off water and sand.

    At a glance

    What travellers should know

    • UV can be intense even on cloudy days
    • Reapplication matters as much as SPF strength
    • Certain medicines can increase sun sensitivity — worth checking before you travel

    Practical tips

    Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen, reapply regularly (especially after swimming or sweating), seek shade during peak intensity hours, and cover up with clothing and a hat where practical.
