Timing: Apply 15-20 minutes before sun exposure to allow the formula to absorb fully. Reapply immediately after swimming, sweating, or towelling the skin.

Layering: Can be applied over body moisturiser if desired. Allow moisturiser to absorb before applying sunscreen for best results.

Expert Tips: For optimal sun protection, use approximately 6 teaspoons of product (36g) to cover the whole body of an average-sized adult. Don't forget often-missed areas such as ears, back of neck, hands, and feet. The golden shimmer enhances gradually throughout the day for a natural-looking, radiant glow.

FAQ

Q: Will the golden shimmer look orange or artificial on my skin tone?
A: No, the golden shimmer in Heliocare® 360° Body Glow is formulated with six carefully selected micas that create a universal, natural-looking glow suitable for all skin tones (Fitzpatrick I-VI). The shimmer is subtle and light-reflecting rather than pigmented, so it enhances your natural skin tone without appearing orange, muddy, or artificial. The effect is a soft, sun-kissed radiance rather than obvious glitter or colour.

Q: How does Fernblock+® differ from standard antioxidants in sunscreens?
A: Fernblock+® offers superior photoprotection compared to standard antioxidants like Vitamin C or E alone. It specifically targets superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals generated by UV, visible light, and infrared-A radiation, whilst conventional antioxidants primarily address singlet oxygen. Backed by over 50 clinical studies, Fernblock+® not only prevents free radical damage but also actively supports DNA repair, reduces inflammation, prevents immunosuppression, and enhances the skin's own antioxidant systems for comprehensive protection at the cellular level.

Q: Can I use this on my face as well as my body?
A: Whilst Heliocare® 360° Body Glow is specifically formulated for the body, it can be used on the face if desired. However, for daily facial use, you may prefer one of Heliocare's dedicated facial sunscreens which offer tailored textures and finishes designed specifically for facial skin. Speak to our experts for personalised recommendations based on your skin type and coverage preferences.

Q: How water-resistant is this sunscreen, and how often should I reapply?
A: Heliocare® 360° Body Glow is water, sweat, and sand resistant, providing reliable protection during swimming and outdoor activities. However, for optimal protection, you should reapply every 2 hours during sun exposure, and immediately after swimming, sweating heavily, or towelling dry. This ensures you maintain the full SPF50+ protection level throughout the day.

Q: Will this product stain my clothing or transfer onto fabrics?
A: The oil-gel formula absorbs quickly into the skin, minimising transfer to clothing. However, as with any sunscreen containing pigments (iron oxides) and shimmer, some initial transfer may occur before full absorption. We recommend allowing the product to absorb completely (2-3 minutes) before dressing, and avoiding contact with delicate or light-coloured fabrics immediately after application. Any residue on fabrics should wash out with normal laundering.

Q: Can I use this sunscreen if I have sensitive or reactive skin?
A: Yes, Heliocare® 360° Body Glow is dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin. The formula is non-comedogenic and has been tested on sensitive skin types. However, as individual sensitivities vary, we recommend performing a patch test before first use, particularly if you have a history of fragrance sensitivity. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use and speak to our skincare experts for alternative recommendations from the Heliocare range.
