Beauty news: meet the Bondi Sands fragrance-free suncare offering

Yes, autumn is most definitely upon us, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop banging on about sunscreen use. Sorry, not sorry – and for a plethora of reasons. Whenever I’ve quizzed beauty experts – be they dermatologists, makeup artists or cosmetic surgeons – for their pick when it comes to skincare that stops premature ageing in its tracks, they all agree that the most important thing you can do to keep your skin looking good well into old age is wear a sunscreen. Add to that the fact that an estimated 90 per cent of all melanomas in Australasia are caused by direct sunlight, thus making daily sunscreen use an absolute no brainer. Thankfully, there are a raft of suncare formulas available for every skin type, so there really is no excuse for skipping this vital step, even when you’re not hitting the beach.
Which brings me to the fragrance-free suncare offering from Aussie faves, Bondi Sands. With an insanely affordable price point built into their DNA and formulated to meet the entire whānau’s sun protection needs, the Bondi Sands Fragrance Free Suncare range is a best seller with good reason. As the trusted suncare partner of the Australian Open, Bondi Sands knows how harsh the rays Down Under can be and have met them head on with broad spectrum, fragrance-free formulas for the face and body that boast all-important SPF 50+ protection against UVA and UVB rays.

The dream protective formula for faces of all ages, Bondi Sands Fragrance Free SPF 50+ Face Sunscreen Lotion is the first formula from the bunch that I was gifted to play with, and she’s a joy to use. Providing UVA and UVB protection, the broad-spectrum formula is gentle on skin, fast absorbing and dries to an invisible finish, making it a great choice to wear alone or under makeup. Formulated to deliver up to 72 hours of hydration along with serious sun protection, it comes with added aloe vera and vitamin E to leave skin feeling healthy and moisturised all day long.
They also offer two SPF 50+ Tinted Face Lotions at under $20, which are formulated with a universal tint for sheer, everyday coverage. Available in two variants - Hydrating & Matte - to serve all skin types, the Hydrating variant is perfect for those with dry or normal skin, while Matte serves those with oily or combination skin with aplomb.

Last up is the Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Fragrance Free Face Mist (RRP $17.65, seriously!), which is designed for effortless sun protection on-the-go and has received some great reviews online. The lightweight aerosol mist can be conveniently applied over make up (love that!), and it offers broad spectrum protection, making re-application of your SPF easier than ever. Definitely on my list to try next, you can be sure I’ll report back on its effectiveness either here or on my Instagram.
Efficacious and easy on the wallet, the Bondi Sands fragrance-free suncare offering is available now. So what are you waiting for? Keep these babies handy and stay protected all year round.
