Sun protection
- Reapply after swimming, sweating or every couple of hours.
- “Water-resistant” means it lasts longer in water — not all day.
- Hats and shade do as much work as any product.
Health & wellness
Practical advice for island days.
Short, sensible notes on sun, heat, insects and travel — the questions we answer most often across the counter.
Seasonal note
Your first days in tropical sun.
Most of the questions we hear in our first conversations are about light: too much sun, too quickly. A little planning makes the rest of the week much more comfortable.
- Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen and reapply through the day.
- Drink water before you feel thirsty — heat catches up quietly.
- Build up sun exposure gradually over the first few days.
- Ask us about after-sun care if your skin feels tight or hot.
Bites & repellents
- Apply repellent to exposed skin in the late afternoon and evening.
- Ask us which option suits children before you buy.
- Keep bites clean, and ask us if swelling increases.
Travel & hydration
- Carry water on long boat trips and motorbike rides.
- Rehydration sachets are useful after heat or stomach upsets.
- If symptoms persist, see a doctor — we will help you find one.
These notes are general information, not medical advice, and they do not replace a consultation with a doctor or pharmacist. Always read the label, and ask us if you are unsure.
