Rare Jetswdo Posted June 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I posted this on NCL board as well. I am trying to figure out which of the acceptable Hawaii Reef Safe Sunscreen works best for someone like me who burns easily. I have read that unfortunately the sunscreens that work best for the environment, doesn't work that well for fair skinned persons. Anyway I am looking for water resistant (I will be snorkeling a lot) will spend what ever I have to, just to protect my skin as well as the reefs. Any recommendations? Thanks.

TwinMamainMN Posted June 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I am not fair skinned, but thanks to prescription medicine I burn quickly now. I bought Sun Bum SPF30 to use this summer and it works well for me so far. It smells slightly like bananas and coconut, but not in a "I'm gonna stink all day" way.

eltigre Posted June 10, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2019 We got Thinksport especially for Hawaii. It passes all their new rules, doesn't smell bad, easily absorbs into the skin & I am a blonde, blue eyed, fair skinned Canadian! Last cruise to Hawaii my reef safe sun screen was really difficult to apply & left a white residue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boontj2003 Posted June 30, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Just got back from Hawaii and boy did we burn our backs from snorkeling. We use Sunbum (Costco sells 3 for $18) also, I would recommend just wearing a rash guard all day snorkeling. We were out there for hours and didn't realize it and burned. You definitely have to reapply every hour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
