Wearing broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 is an easy and effective way to protect your skin from sun damage. UVA rays cause the skin to age, which can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, discolouration, and a loss of elasticity. UVB rays burn the skin, contributing to the risk of skin cancer. SPF is one (wildly effective) way to insure your future skin health.

Yes! Absolutely! Wear SPF daily (no matter what the weather app says), and reapply throughout the day. An easy mistake to make is thinking clouds or a window will shield you from UV rays. They won’t. UV rays are mighty and cannot be held back by clouds, windows or Christina Aguilera.

No. Not necessarily. But in the same way that you switch up your skincare to treat and nourish concerns as they appear, you might like to move between SPF formulas based on what your skin wants and needs during the week/your cycle/a season. 

We’re gonna confuse the heck out of you, by starting with the similarities: 

• All three formulas will protect your face from damaging UVA and UVB rays, with SPF 50. 
• All three formulas will keep your skin hydrated and supple, thanks to added antioxidants.
• All three formulas will look sickeningly cute in your tote. 

Now. The differences. 

Nifty Fifty Fluid is an ultra lightweight sunscreen made for people who hate wearing sunscreen.

Nifty Fifty Mineral is a non-greasy, non-shiny, zinc-forward formula. But like, modern. 

Nifty Fifty is a hydrating, all-rounder, dreamboat sunscreen. (You already know as much.)

The Nifty Fifty family is designed to be flexible. You can wear whichever formula you most enjoy the feel and finish of. (Just as long as you’re wearing SPF. Every day.) 

If you are someone who sits on the long and varied spectrum that is sensitivity, or maybe you’re working with more blemish-prone skin. We do have specific recommendations for you. 

Nifty Fifty Mineral is The Tits for faces feeling rather sensitised, given the skin soothing effects of zinc. 

And if you know that fragrance is a common irritant for your sensitive skin, our fragrance-free Nifty Fifty Fluid is The One for you.

You should liberally reapply Nifty Fifty every two hours. And more often after swimming, towelling, or excessive perspiration.

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE.

Nifty Fifty is not designed to be worn in the water. If you do go for a dip be sure to reapply afterwards.

Nifty Fifty does not contain any of the SPF filters listed in the Hawaiian Sunscreen Ban or any of the ingredients typically associated with reef damage (oxybenzone and octinoxate).

Important! “Reef safe” is a difficult term to define and there are no regulations around what constitutes “reef safe” sunscreen. Around the world, reefs are severely affected by global warming-aggravated coral bleaching, agricultural runoff and human development. The impact of sunscreen wash-off has so far shown to be localised and impacts are likely to be restricted to inshore enclosed reef areas and high-use dive zones visited by tourist groups.

Nope! Mixing Nifty Fifty will interrupt the carefully designed formula and decrease the efficacy of the Sun Protection Factor, leaving your skin susceptible to UV damage. 

(You shouldn't need to mix any Nifty Fifty product with a hydrating product, as they have all been developed to keep your skin moisturised and soft. Whilst protecting it. Win!)
