How To Use

Application: Apply generously and evenly to dry skin before sun exposure. Glide the stick directly onto the skin in smooth, even strokes until a uniform protective layer is created. One swipe across each area is typically sufficient for coverage. Ensure full coverage up to the hairline and around the eyes, taking care not to get product into the eyes.

Frequency: Reapply frequently throughout the day, especially after prolonged bathing, excessive sweating, or towel drying. For optimal protection during outdoor sports, reapply every two hours or immediately after water exposure.

Timing: Apply at least 15-20 minutes before sun exposure to allow the product to form an effective protective barrier on the skin.

Layering: Can be applied over moisturiser or before makeup. The transparent finish makes it ideal for layering without affecting the appearance of subsequent products.

Expert Tips: The convenient stick format is perfect for targeted application on high-exposure areas such as the nose, cheekbones, shoulders, and ears. Keep the stick in your sports bag or pocket for easy reapplication during outdoor activities. For body application, use broad, sweeping strokes to ensure even coverage.

FAQ

Q: How often should I reapply this sunscreen during outdoor sports?

A: For optimal protection during intense outdoor activities, reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming, excessive sweating, or towel drying. The water and sweat-resistant formula maintains efficacy during activity, but regular reapplication ensures continuous maximum protection. During peak sun hours or at high altitudes, consider reapplying more frequently.

Q: What makes Fernblock®+ different from standard sunscreen ingredients?

A: Fernblock®+ is a clinically-proven antioxidant extract backed by over 80 published studies that works at a cellular level beyond traditional UV filters. Whilst chemical and mineral filters create a protective barrier on the skin's surface, Fernblock®+ penetrates to neutralise free radicals, prevent DNA damage, support cellular repair mechanisms, and protect the skin's immune function. Developed in collaboration with Harvard Medical School, it provides comprehensive 360° protection against UVA, UVB, visible light, and infrared-A radiation—going beyond what conventional sunscreens offer.

Q: Will this sunscreen leave a white cast or greasy residue?

A: No, the transparent stick formulation is specifically designed to provide an invisible finish without any white residue or greasy feel. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving a barely-there sensation that's comfortable throughout the day. This makes it ideal for all skin tones and perfect for use under makeup or during sports activities where a clean, non-greasy finish is essential.

Q: Is this suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

A: Yes, the formulation has been dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The non-comedogenic formula won't clog pores, making it appropriate for acne-prone skin. However, as the product contains fragrance (Parfum, Linalool, Limonene), individuals with specific fragrance sensitivities should perform a patch test before use or speak to our skincare experts for personalised recommendations.

Q: How long does one stick typically last with regular use?

A: The 25g stick format is designed for convenient portability and regular reapplication during outdoor activities. Usage duration depends on application frequency and coverage area. For facial application with regular reapplication during outdoor sports, one stick typically provides several weeks of protection. For full body application during extended outdoor activities, we recommend keeping multiple sticks available. The compact size makes it perfect for carrying in sports bags, pockets, or travel kits.

Q: Can I use this product on my body as well as my face?

A: Absolutely. The Heliocare® 360° SPORT Transparent Sunscreen Stick is designed for use on both face and body. The convenient stick format is particularly effective for targeted application on high-exposure areas such as the nose, cheekbones, shoulders, ears, and any areas requiring extra protection. For larger body areas during extended outdoor activities, you may wish to combine with a spray or lotion format for initial application, then use the stick for convenient reapplication throughout the day.
