It's my first Summer here for which my supply of Australian sunscreen has been depleted. I am far, far fairer than the average Caucasian.
So far I have tried a few Japanese sunscreens and just seem to get roasted through them regardless. I understand most brands here aren't as strong/tested as rigorously as back home for UV protection but I was wondering if anyone in a similar situation has found a gem?
I have tried something from the convenience store which I unfortunately forgot the name of, a local version of Nivea, and Anessa (that I have seen recommended in historical threads here). I still get burnt from around 2 hours of outdoor activities with these though. The SPF claims all just feel spurious.
I could import some from Australia, but the shipping makes it pretty pricey and tedious so I'd prefer to find something local, if at all possible.
