The Importance of Sunscreen in Australia: A Must-Have for Sun Safety

Australia is well-known for its breathtaking beaches, energetic outdoor culture, and, regrettably, intense sun. Australians understand the value of sun protection well because they have one of the highest incidences of skin cancer worldwide. Among the several sun safety precautions, sunscreen is by far the most important.

Why Sunscreen is Essential in Australia?

Even on overcast days, the Australian sun may be rather intense and possess high UV levels all year round. Because to its proximity to the equator, the nation experiences higher UV radiation levels than other regions of the world. This means that using sunscreen is vital all year round, not just in the summer.

Choosing the Right Sunscreen

Choosing a sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection is crucial when choosing a sunscreen in Australia. This implies that the sunscreen will offer protection against UVA and UVB radiation, which cause burning and skin aging, respectively. A sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is ideal, but for prolonged outdoor activity, SPF 50+ is advised.

Another important consideration is water resistance, particularly for people who like Australia's outdoor swimming pools and beaches. Even when swimming or perspiring, protection with water-resistant sunscreen is guaranteed. Furthermore, a lot of sunscreens made in Australia are designed to be reef-safe, which means they don't include dangerous ingredients like octinoxate and oxybenzone that can harm coral reefs. 

How to Apply Sunscreen Properly

If it's not applied correctly, even the greatest sunscreen won't save you from harm. Generally speaking, you should slather all exposed skin with sunscreen roughly 20 minutes before heading outside. Reapplication is equally crucial; it should be done every two hours, or more frequently if you perspire or swim.

Remember frequently overlooked areas such as the tops of your feet, the back of your neck, and your ears. You should also use a lip balm with SPF to shield your lips from the sun's rays.

Sunscreen and Daily Skincare

It's a wise decision to include sunscreen in your everyday skincare routine in Australia. Nowadays, a lot of face moisturizers have additional SPF, which makes it simpler to safeguard your skin every day without taking an additional step. 

Beyond Sunscreen: Comprehensive Sun Protection

Although sunscreen is an excellent defense against UV damage, it works best when combined with other sun protection precautions. You can further lower your risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage by donning protective clothing, sunglasses with UV protection, and a wide-brimmed hat. It's also advised to look for shade between 10 AM and 4 PM, which is when UV radiation is at its highest.

Conclusion: Sunscreen as a Lifesaver in Australia

Being sun-smart is a must for living in Australia. You may dramatically lower your risk of skin cancer and early aging by making wearing sunscreen a regular ritual. The greatest sunscreen is the one you'll use daily, so pick a product you like and develop the habit of protecting yourself from the sun.

Never undervalue the Australian sun, whether you're a resident or just visiting. Keep yourself safe and take advantage of everything this stunning nation has to offer without jeopardizing the health of your skin.

summary: During a trip to Daniel’s farm house, you find an unexpected visitor standing in your best friend’s backyard

Part 2

"So glad you could make it!", Danny called and wrapped you into a hug as soon as he opened the front door. "You know I love it here!", you laughed and stepped into his home in Perth, Australia.

It was Monday before the Australian Grand Prix and Daniel had invited you to spend a few days at his farm before flying across the country to Melbourne.

You spotted an unfamiliar pair of shoes next to Daniel‘s million others but didn’t think much of it. Maybe he bought another pair.

"Daniel, tell me again where the- oh hi", you heard a familiar british accent, one that you have missed over the last three long weeks since Bahrain and turned around to find a dripping wet and shirtless Lando in the glass door that led out to the backyard. His curls were dripping shining droplets of water onto his defined and tanned chest from which you couldn’t teat your eyes away.

"The towels are in the drawer, mate", Daniel spoke, snapping you out of your trance. "Thanks", Lando mumbled but didn’t move from his place.

You all stood there in silence for a few seconds before you cleared your throat. "I… uh- I-I‘ll go to my room", you stuttered, taking the suitcase and quickly making your way up the marble stairs.

"Why didn’t you tell me she was coming?", you heard Lando hiss. "Why would you have wanted me to?", Daniel asked nonchalant, and you knew you shouldn’t eavesdrop but you couldn’t help it, wanting to know Lando‘s response. "I- I don’t know", he stuttered defensively before tapping over to the drawer to get himself a towel.

Truth was, his small crush on you grew over the last couple of weeks. He followed your every move on Instagram and Twitter, even scrolling down to pictures from 2016, finding a few of you and baby Oscar during his Formula 3 career or little you in Daniel‘s Red Bull from 2017. He‘s probably memorized your highlights at this point.

Adding to that he asked Pietra for her advice on your best songs and your discography has been on repeat for three weeks straight.

You put your suitcase next to your bed and plopped down on it, only now noticing your racing heart.

During your deep dive through Lando’s Instagram account, you obviously had seen a few pictures of him shirtless, the one from Bahrain being the set of pictures you were hung up on the most, even saving one of them. But jeez… none of those pictures did the live picture justice!

You opened your eyes and took a deep breath before rummaging around your suitcase to find the black bikini you had packed for your trip.

You put it on and took your towel, phone and sunglasses and made your way downstairs. Lando and Daniel sat by the pool on two sun beds, playing some sort of card game. Both were shirtless and had matching bucket hats on their curls. You chuckled at the sight and placed your towel on the third sun bed.

Lando looked up from the game and subtly looked you over, his eyes lingering at your pushed up breast, that were barely covered by the tight black bikini top, a little longer than appropriate but you couldn’t find yourself caring. The opposite actually, the little hesitation brought a smirk to your face.

You lay down on your stomach on the sun bed and closed your eyes. "If I fall asleep, please put some sunscreen on my back in an hour or two", you mumbled, getting a hum from both boys next to you.

You couldn’t even begin to explain how much you have missed the Australian sun.

*~**~*

You didn’t even notice you fell asleep until you were woken up by a pair of warm hands rubbing your back. Guess the flight has been more exhausting than you thought.

You lifted your head up slightly, still a little dazed from the sleep. "Heyy, good morning", a soft british accent spoke over you.

Lando.

Then you started noticing a few other things around you. For example your hair that was wrapped in a loose bun, one that you definitely didn’t do yourself.

"I put your hair up so it wouldn’t stick on the sunscreen", he said, almost as if he had read your thoughts. "Thanks", you mumbled, then you frowned. "How did you-"

"I have two younger sisters, so I know a little about hair styles", Lando chuckled and kneaded your shoulders while rubbing in the sunscreen. The small action made you groan a little. "Feels good", you muttered.

"I can tell", he spoke and you could hear the smirk on his face, so you kicked your leg up to hit his back. "Owh", he let out and broke out in laughter after. You couldn’t help but join in as well and pushed yourself up on your elbows to look around you.

You noticed the missing sunglasses on your face when squinting to see against the setting sun but quickly found them on the table next to you.

"Daniel is getting the grill ready and Heidi has just arrived a few minutes ago", Lando told you and you turned your head to meet his eyes. But got quickly distracted by his tanned chest. Your eyes flickering down and stayed there for a second longer than necessary, before looking back up into his green eyes and only now realizing how close your faces were to each other.

His gaze flickered down to your lips before finding your eyes again.

"Hey dipshit, dinner is almost ready!", Daniel called from the path between the pool section and the little hut with a fire place. "We’ll be there in a second!", Lando called back, not tearing his eyes away from yours.

Your eyes darted down to his plumb lips. "We probably should…", you whispered, letting your sentence uncompleted. Lando nodded but still kept his gaze you. "Yeah, we probably should", he agreed.

The two of you kept each other gaze for a few seconds longer before looking down at the same time and clearing your throats. You grabbed your black shorts and quickly put them over your bikini bottoms, feeling your heart beating fast in your chest and a small throbbing in your lower region. A quick stolen glance at Lando told you, your interaction also left its mark on him.

He cleared his throat another time before standing up and grabbing a baby blue loose dress shirt to put over his shoulders, leaving the buttons undone.

Together you made your way over to the fireplace, where you found Heidi and Daniel next to a bluetooth box that played relaxing music.

"Hey, honey!!", Heidi called and immediately came over to hug you. You smiled and wrapped your arms around the girl who has been like an older sister to you for the longest time.

"It’s so good to see you again!", she smiled and pushed a few strands of hair behind your ear. "Your hair has gotten so long!" You laughed and sat down at the set table.

Daniel looked at Lando with a knowing smirk, whereupon Lando rammed his elbow into the older guy’s ribs.

*~**~*

As the night came, the temperatures got chilly, even in Australia. You shivered a little even if the fire spent a little warmth.

"You cold?", Lando muttered, leaning over the armrest of his chair. You looked over at him, getting lost for a second in the way half of his face was light up by the fire light.

You hummed and wrapped your arms tighter around yourself.

"Take my hoodie", he suggested, pulling the lavender colored hoodie from his chair. "Thanks", you smiled.

From the corner of your eyes you saw how Daniel gave you a rather knowing glance but you chose to ignore it.

That was until he didn’t give you another option.

"Y/n, you wanna come and help me inside?", he asked but it sounded more like a demand. You nodded and stood up from your seat before following Daniel inside.

All while Lando’s eyes never left you.

Daniel was waiting for you by the kitchen counter. "What are you doing?", he wanted to know. You shrugged, knowing exactly what he was talking about.

"He’s cute", you simply replied.

"You know I love you like my little sister but Lando’s one of my best mates. And I already know that he’s got quite the crush on you, it’s fairly obvious so I gotta make sure that this is coming from your side as well and isn’t some sort of joke flirting", the australian explained.

You crossed your arms in front of your chest. "It’s not, I really do think he’s cute", you nodded.

"Does he know who your dad is?", Daniel pressed further, knowing this was some sort of make-or-break question to you.

Given the history of boyfriends you’ve had and loads of your early ones, always dating you for your father, you’ve started to not tell people about your father. Not until you were sure, they were here for you.

Your silence gave Daniel his answer.

"If you like him, why didn’t you then?", he wanted to know. "Because I want to get to know him before! I met him once three weeks ago, do you expect me to just go like "Hi, I’m Y/n, nice to meet you. By the way I’m Mark Webber’s daughter"?? I haven’t exactly spent a lot of time with him", you muttered.

"Just… don’t lead him on. I haven’t seen him this nervous over a girl in a long time", Daniel sighed and opened his arms. "C’mere."

*~**~*

Even though the night got very late, you were up incredibly early the next day, still having to adjust to the eastern australian timezone.

As quietly as possible you walked down the stairs to the kitchen, wearing a pair of jogging shorts and Lando’s hoodie from the previous night which was incredibly comfortable and even smelled like him.

You grabbed yourself a glass of water and sat down crisscrossed on a patio chair.

The morning was still a little fresh, the sun just barely leaking out from the horizon.

"Bit early, isn’t it?", a british accent spoke from behind you. You smiled before turning around to meet Lando’s sleepy eyes.

He stood in the doorway, long gray joggers and a black hoodie, similar to the one you were wearing. His curls were a mess on top of his head as he ruffled through them.

"I could say the same to you", you countered, making the boy smile. "I couldn’t sleep, still adjusting to the timezone", he told you, sitting down on the chair next to you.

You nodded in agreement. "Me too."

For a moment you sat in silence, both looking at the sunrise in front of you.

"You wanna go for a walk at the beach?", Lando suggested after a few minutes, looking over at you.

You considered your options for a second but didn’t see a reason not to, so you nodded and stood up.

You put your glass on the table and your phone in the hoodie pocket.

Together you took the small path that directly led from Daniel’s backyard to the beach.

"Nice hoodie by the way", Lando smirked, tugging at your sleeves. "Thanks, some random guy gave it to me last night", you replied with a giggle. "And you just take stuff from random dudes?", Lando faked a shocked tone. "Nah, only if they are cute", you smiled, making Lando go a little shy as he looked down with a smile.

When the you reached the beach, you stopped in your tracks. Closing your eyes and enjoying the breeze of the ocean.

"I’ve missed this", you muttered, taking a deep breath before opening your eyes to find Lando looking at you. "Los Angeles just isn’t quite the same."

"You said you grew up between LA and Canberra", Lando stated, whereupon you nodded. "How did you meet Oscar then? Because as far as I know he’s spent most of his teens in England. Or Daniel, who’s from the other side of the country", he asked.

"Well, Daniel I met through Red Bull. My dad used to work for them", you replied, careful as not to reveal too much. "At base?"

"Something like this, yeah."

"He’s been like an older brother to me for the longest time but Oscar being closer to me in age, resulted in us turning out like twins", you chuckled.

Lando felt a sting of jealousy when you talked about his teammate like that, knowing he had close to zero rights to feel this way but still.

"Anyway, I met him in the paddock a few years ago and we’ve been friends ever since", you concluded.

"And you’ve been into racing because of your dad?", he asked. You nodded but didn’t clarify further but instead grabbed his hand and dragged him to the ocean.

"Cmon, let’s go in", you called. "Go in??", Lando protested but let you drag him closer to the water. "It’s Australia, it’s warm", you giggled and kicked off your shoes off your feet. You let go of Lando’s hand and entered the water ankle-deep.

You looked back to see Lando taking off his shoes as well as his hoodie, leaving him in a white shirt. Then he carefully tapped the water before walking to you.

"Nice, huh?", you smiled against the rising sun, closing your eyes for a second.

Cold water splashing your back made you scream and open them again. You turned around to find Lando with a devilish grin looking at you. "Lando!!", you called and splashed the water back at him.

In only a few seconds it turned into a water war, both your clothes turning darker from the water splashes on them. Your eyes stopped at Lando’s torso, the water turning his white shirt see through. And you weren’t ashamed to admit that his defined abs distracted you just more than a little bit.

Lando used your little moment of distraction to launch himself at you and throw both of you down into the water completely. You gasped for air, his arms still wrapped around your body and you hair falling in wet strands on your face.

"Idiot!", you called, pushing your hair back to see Lando grin at you. His adorable smile, paired with the wetness of his curls made you smile as well. You put your hand on his neck, slowly pulling him closer to you.

A drop of water falling from his opened lips, mesmerizing you completely. Lando’s eyes searched yours, asking for permission to go ahead. You glance back down to his lips before nodding slightly.

Only seconds later, his lips touched yours in a gentle kiss. Your fingers went through his wet hair and pulled at the end.

His lips on yours felt like fire, and you wanted more.

You wrapped your legs around his waist, his hand holding your thigh as his other squeezed your waist. His lips slowly traveled along your jaw, making you lean your head to the side to give him more space.

You let out a little moan when he gently sucked on the spot under your ear and felt his lips curl into a smirk. Lando pulled back to look at you, your fingers stroking his neck.

You giggled slightly and leaned your forehead against his, closing your eyes for a second.

This is what happiness feels like, you thought.

australia, moody,, sunburn for alessia russo :)

Too Much Sun (Alessia Russo x Reader)

A/N: Hope y'all have had a good year. See you in 2024!

[WOSO Masterlist]

“Don’t say it.”

Tilting your head up, your lip quirks up in a smirk when you see the girl in front of you. 

“Don’t.”

You shuffle up in your seat, raising your sunglasses to the top of your head. The sun feels refreshing on your sun-starved skin; you can already feel the tan returning to your skin. But someone obviously didn’t listen too well to your earlier warnings.

“I told you so, Less.”

“(Y/N)!” Alessia’s words are accompanied with a huff and a stomp of a foot.

“Babe, I know you’re from England and there’s not a lick of sunshine there, but you need to put on sunscreen.” 

Some of the Lionesses thought vacationing in your home country was a good idea despite having been there earlier in the year. But you were never one to turn down a free vacation, especially one where you get to both go home and spend time with your girlfriend.

The sun was already scorching when you all got to the beach. You’re the first to pull out your sunscreen, offering it to all the girls near you. 

You offer it to Alessia too, but your girlfriend simply shakes her head, claiming she would be fine. It didn’t matter how much you tried to convince her otherwise. Alessia assured you time and time again that the sunscreen wouldn’t be needed.

Alessia’s anything but fine. 

Despite not being here for long, Alessia’s already tinged red, shifting on her toes as if staying still will make the burn worse. 

“Stop it! I’m sunburnt, everything hurts, and I’m really really really sorry I didn’t listen to you earlier. Will you please do something to help me?”

“Baby, don’t be upset or a whiner,” you chuckle.

Turning, you reach for the bag sitting next to you. You dig around a bit before finding the bottle of aloe you had stashed away. “I’m prepared. Down you go,” you pat at the spot between your legs. 

Your girlfriend gingerly perches in front of you, hissing at the first touch of your cool hand and gel on her skin. It’s quiet bar the occasional whimper and grunt of pain from Alessia. When you finish, you press the gentlest of kisses against the side of Alessia’s face. 

She flinches away.

“Sorry,” you chuckle, not really taking her avoidance to heart.

“Please don’t tell Tooney about this?” There’s the biggest puppy eyes being sent your way, but it doesn’t matter even if you want to help.

Ella’s already hurtling her way towards the two of you, smirk plastered on her face. “Ay! Didn’t listen to the missus now did ya?”

Paint it Black! Making one of the first titanium airplanes was difficult .

Titanium was corrugated to make room for expansion when the titanium heated up at top speed of 2200+ mph. The skin panels were fastened to the underlying structure with oblong holes which would allow the skin to expand and contract without the fasteners causing buckling. And the skin over the wing was also corrugated to prevent warping during expansion, this is actually quite noticeable, you can see the sections that are corrugated quite clearly here in this artistic photo.

Titanium makes up 93% of the SR 71 structure. It’s strength to weight ratio, or specific strength, is better than Aluminium. Yet today very little titanium is used in everyday objects. Planes primarily use aluminum, not titanium.. why is it not used?

The development of the A-12 the Skunk Works, a small division of Lockheed discovered that making the blackbird out of titanium was going to be anything but easy

Titanium is expensive because its refinement process is a nightmare. To make Titanium, we start with a feedstock in the form of Titanium Dioxide, with this chemical formula. This oxide ore called rutile can be found in high concentrations in dark sandy soils.

Build the SR-71 the US needed to buy vast quantities of the mineral from the Soviets. To do this they purchased the material through ghost organizations to hide the final destination of the material. One of the companies that were made up was a company to make pizza ovens supposedly… the Russians believed this story!

Had the Soviets known what they were helping build, they would not have sold the material. However, the US likely could have just purchased the material from mines in Australia. This is a relatively common raw material and is primarily used as a white pigment for paints and is even found in sunscreen lotion as ultraviolet radiation blocking pigment.

The primary titanium alloy used in the SR-71 was thirteen percent vanadium, eleven percent chromium, and three percent aluminum. Both Chromium and Aluminium form thermally stable oxide layers on the outer skin of the metal. Which prevents oxygen from diffusing further into the metal and causing it to become more brittle.

Which raises the max operating temperature of the metal!

Vanadium acts as a stabilizer for a crystal structure referred to as the beta phase. This leads to a material with higher tensile strength and better formability. Through trial and error and problems that were solved by the geniuses that worked at the Skunk Works. They discovered that their cadmium plated tools were leaving trace amounts of cadmium on bolts, which would cause galvanic corrosion and cause the bolts to fail. This discovery led to all cadmium tools to be removed from the workshop.

This article just proves what we already know today when people work together and work hard to solve problems. New ground was broken with the formulation of titanium that led to the success of the SR 71 and the tremendous heat and strength that this magnificent airplane needed.

As Ben Rich head engineer and later, he replaced Kelly Johnson as the head skunk said in his book called the Skunk Works. ‘’I volunteered some unsolicited advice about how we could use a softer titanium that began to lose its strength at 550° to paint the airplane black

From my college things I remember that good heat absorber was also a good heat emitter it would actually radiate away more heat then it would absorb through thick friction. I calculated the black paint would lowered the wing temperature 35° by radiation think of how much easier it will be to build an airplane using softer titanium.

It was my father Butch Sheffield’s boss Ben Rich, who saved the Blackbird program time and money, with his idea of painting it black.

Garfield Logan x Male Reader

Request: Garfield Logan x male magical reader basically Wanda, reader spoiling Gar cause let’s be honest he deserves it

You have been dating Garfield for almost a year now. You and Garfield have strong feelings for each other and are always affectionate to each other.

Right now, you are training and you are using your magic, to hit the dummies. Garfield walks in with snacks and he is smiling at you.

“I come in peace” Garfield smiled.

“Hey babe” You smiled.

He gave you a peck on the lips.

“How was the training?” Garfield asked.

“Good. My magic is getting stronger and I learned new spells” You said.

“That’s good. I was thinking we would do something together” Garfield said.

“Sure, we can do something,” You said.

You used your magic to clean yourself and change your clothes.

“So handsome” Garfield smiled.

“So are you, babe” you smiled.

—-

You and Garfield go to the mall together. He is holding your hands then you and him go inside a store. You grabbed a few things and he tries on a leather jacket you helped him pick out new shorts and shirts. You paid for everything and he isn't used to it, someone spending a lot of money on him.

“You really didn't have to buy everything,” Garfield said.

“I know but I wanted to,” You said.

He kissed you on the lips. Then you and Garfield go to another store and he helped you decide what to buy.

Much later, you and Garfield went to a see movie. He put his arm around you and you lay your head on his chest. Then you feed him popcorn and he can't stop smiling at you.

✯ ✯ ✯ ✯

It's valentines Day… you surprised him with gifts and chocolates. He wrapped his arms around you and you start to kiss him. You and Garfield can't stop smiling at each other, then you touch his hair. He has on the leather jacket that you bought for him at the mall.

“Thanks for the gifts. I always used to hate Valentine's Day then you came along” Garfield said.

He feeds you chocolate. He takes out the plush bears from the bag and the card then gave it to you. It's two bears with one heart and a cute Valentine's Day card.

“For my handsome and smart boyfriend,” Garfield said.

“Here are your gifts,” You said.

He starts to open his gifts and he likes them. Then he put his hands on your face and he starts to kiss you.

“Do you remember how we met?” Garfield asked.

“I do remember. You faked being rich to impress me then you saved me from Bane” You said.

“I’m glad I did that. I wouldn't have changed anything, because I'm happy that you gave me a second chance to show you the real me” Garfield smiled.

You feed him a piece of chocolate and he likes it.

“I got one more gift for you,” You said.

“What is it?” Garfield asked.

You take out a promise ring and put it on his finger.

“It's a promise ring and an engagement ring. A promise never to leave your side and whenever you need me I will be there” You said.

He leans in and kissed you on the lips.

“No matter what happens, I will never leave your side Y/n. I care about you a lot and I don't want to lose you” Garfield smiled.

Later, you and Garfield cuddle in bed to watch a movie together, and you are the bid spoon. He puts his hand on top of your hand.

—-

You used your magic to take Garfield to take him to Australia. You and Garfield got tired of the cold, then you surprised him with a trip.

“I always wanted to go to Australia and pet koalas!” Garfield smiled.

“Wow, you seem really excited about it. Let's go to the beach first then we go pet koalas?” You said.

“Sounds like a good plan, babe,” Garfield said.

You and Garfield are staying at a hotel and then started to get ready. At the beach, Garfield is smiling because you stop touching his chest

“Babe, I got enough sunscreen,” Garfield said.

“Just making sure,” You said.

He did put sunscreen on your chest. You are having fun with Garfield at the beach and he is making you laugh.

Much later… you and Garfield went to see Koloas and pet them. You did take a few pictures with him holding koalas. Garfield can't stop smiling then he turned into a koala then he got on your arm and you took a picture of him.

“Cute” You smiled.

Later he transforms back into himself. Then you and Garfield went to get something to eat.

Any tips for Australia?

drivers can be aggressive here, we try to be friendly but if you seem like an American tourist you may feel some cold shoulders, WEAR. SUNSCREEN i don't care how much melanin you have you need to wear sunscreen. in summer we are literally closer to the sun than the northern hemisphere during their summer. I beg, and don't worry about the snakes and spiders we really don't have that many dangerous ones in suburban and city areas.

oh, and we as a country love to fuck with non Australians. sometimes we just. lie about fake facts and make up slang because it's funny. you hear our accents and believe us.

if you go to the beach stay between the flags and only swim when there are lifeguards on duty. my region just had a psa about it because there's supposed to be some big rips and it's also very crowded at the moment with school holidays about to hit.

thats all I've got off the top of my head but the sunscreen one is very important. you can literally feel your skin burning and cooking during the day.

In England do you have to put on sunscreen when it’s summer but not sunny? In Australia it doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen the sun all day – you need sunscreen (for several months of the year at least – not in winter). I’m going to London this summer and just wondering!

I think most Brits wouldn’t put sunscreen on unless it was a super sunny day and we were planning to lie in the sun for hours.

I wear face moisturiser with spf in every day but I very rarely put sunscreen on in the UK day to day even in the summer. But I very rarely have days to spend sun bathing - more often hiding inside waiting for it to cool down!

I’d say if it’s hot enough for you to be out and about in a vest top, put sunscreen on. That’s about 5 days of the year tops tbh.

You can always buy it in a shop called Boots which has branches everywhere if you need it. (And any supermarket etc)

I'm sorry folks, I'm glad we're all enjoying the video but I need to put a disclaimer about it.

Is the Shark Video Cute?

Unfortunately no.

This was really irresponsible of Ocean Ramsay to do, and she keeps doing it. She's a well trained diver, and I'm glad she works in ocean conservation. That's great. The shark was sated/had been reported to have recently eaten and been in a docile state (they can often overeat since they don't know when their next meal is and they need a LOT of calories) so she was diving in a "safe" manner so to speak. But, as many marine biologists have already mentioned, you do not touch sharks.

You wouldn't pet a lion in the wild, now would you?

Do not reach out and grab their fin.

Do not caress them as you swim along with them. (Seen in the rest of the video she posted. The extended version has more divers and lots of petting/caressing)

They are not pets, they are wild animals.

This is not the first time Ocean Ramsay has dived with a large and gravid/pregnant Great White (important to note, they're also a protected species and shouldn't be pet off of that criteria alone), and it's also not the first time she's been told to stop. It's getting tiring. She constantly says stuff like "I was guiding her away from x/y/z" or "I was trying to keep space and gently pushed off"

Why shouldn't we pet wild animals or great whites?

At the top of the list, it's irresponsible and you could get yourself or others hurt. Many will emulate this behavior without looking to see if the shark just ate (which, even if it did, see how long it takes to get hurt if you harass it long enough)

Secondly you could hurt the shark. Many sea creatures, sharks included, have an outer mucosal layer on their skin that helps protect against diseases. Your sunscreen covered, scented lotion wearing, foreign bacteria having hand will mess up that protective barrier when you pet it. At best you'll scrape it and they'll have to build up again.

You can scare them off from the food source. This was by a whale carcass, and the shark in question is pregnant. She's going to need a LOT of food, but she won't risk it if a bunch of divers are out blocking her. She doesn't know if you're a friend or foe, and she may not be willing to find out. She might rather starve (in this case, she did at least feed, but she couldn't return).

Depending on the animal, you can guide poachers to prior undiscovered sites. A sea turtle specialist once talked about her experience posting an "egg watch" of sorts (she was looking after a nest site with a group) on social media, only to have someone use landmarks in the image to find the nest and attempt to steal the eggs (fortunately the person was found and the eggs were recovered) . She no longer posts sea turtle photos until long enough time has passed from the hatching event. Great Whites are a protected species, it takes 2 years for them to have pups. It's not uncommon for people who hate sharks to go out and murder for sport. Look at Florida and Australia for examples. That shark could disappear real fast.

Did I mention you'll inspire others to do the same? Because 60 people tried to emulate Ocean Ramsay in the following days. I can guarantee not all of them were as experienced. Luckily the shark was not in the area by that point.

Marine biologists are forced to come out of the woodwork and tell you why it's not okay, and we'll inevitably get people who want to argue about it, and we really just don't want to fight about it. We have to do crowd control every time and, personally, that's not why I got my degree.

That being said, scientists will interact with sharks and marine life to collect data. We are trained, we're trying to be the least invasive we can, and we're not doing this for the views. We're trying to find ways to reduce post-release mortality, or discover pupping grounds to protect them from human intervention. We're not out there looking to harass them for fun.

If you don't like what I'm saying, you can check out other Marine Biologists' takes here:

Why Whale Watching on the Gold Coast Is Perfect for Nature Lovers

The Gold Coast, a region renowned for its stunning beaches and vibrant marine life, offers an unparalleled opportunity for nature enthusiasts. Whale watching on the Gold Coast is an awe-inspiring activity that connects visitors with the wonders of the ocean. This guide explores why this experience is a must for nature lovers, highlighting the best aspects of this captivating adventure.

The Whale Migration: A Spectacle of Nature

Each year, the Gold Coast becomes a prime location to witness one of nature's most remarkable events: the migration of humpback whales. From June to November, these gentle giants travel thousands of kilometers from Antarctica to the warm waters of Queensland to breed and give birth. This migration provides a unique opportunity to observe these majestic creatures up close in their natural habitat.

Why the Gold Coast Stands Out for Whale Watching

Prime Location

The Gold Coast's coastal waters offer some of the clearest and calmest conditions for observing whales. The region’s proximity to the migratory path ensures frequent sightings, making it one of Australia’s top destinations for whale watching.

Diverse Marine Life

While whale watching on the Gold Coast primarily focuses on humpback whales, visitors often encounter other marine species, including dolphins, sea turtles, and seabirds. This biodiversity enhances the overall experience and deepens the connection to the marine ecosystem.

Unforgettable Encounters

Whales are known for their playful behavior, and it’s not uncommon to see them breaching, tail-slapping, or spy-hopping. These displays offer breathtaking moments that leave a lasting impression on every observer.

The Best Time for Whale Watching on the Gold Coast

The peak season for whale watching on the Gold Coast is between July and October. During this period, sightings are almost guaranteed, and the chances of observing whales with their newborn calves are significantly higher. The early morning and late afternoon tours often provide optimal lighting conditions for photography, making the experience even more memorable.

Choosing a Responsible Whale Watching Tour

When planning a whale watching adventure, it’s essential to select a tour operator that prioritizes sustainability and adheres to strict guidelines to protect marine life. Look for operators who maintain safe distances from the whales and promote eco-friendly practices to minimize the environmental impact.

Tips for a Memorable Whale Watching Experience

Dress Appropriately: Coastal breezes can be cool, so layering is advisable. Don’t forget sunscreen and a hat to protect against the sun.

Bring Binoculars: While the whales often come close to the boats, binoculars can enhance your ability to spot distant activity.

Capture the Moment: A camera with a good zoom lens can help you document these unforgettable encounters.

Stay Patient: Nature operates on its own schedule, so patience is key. Trust the guides to navigate to the best spots for sightings.

The Environmental Importance of Whale Watching

Whale watching on the Gold Coast is not just an entertaining activity; it also plays a vital role in marine conservation. By raising awareness about the importance of protecting whales and their habitats, this experience fosters a greater appreciation for marine biodiversity. Proceeds from responsible tours often support research and conservation initiatives, ensuring the continued protection of these incredible animals.

A Gateway to Nature's Wonders

For those who cherish the beauty of the natural world, whale watching on the Gold Coast is an unmissable experience. The combination of close encounters with magnificent marine life, breathtaking coastal scenery, and the chance to connect with the ocean makes it an activity that resonates deeply with nature lovers.

Whether you’re a seasoned wildlife enthusiast or a first-time visitor, the opportunity to witness the majesty of humpback whales in their element is unforgettable. Whale watching on the Gold Coast offers an inspiring reminder of the ocean's wonders and the importance of preserving them for future generations.

Planning Your Trip to Swim with Turtles: What to Expect

The Gold Coast is renowned for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and thriving marine life, making it an ideal destination for those looking to swim with turtles. This unforgettable experience offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Whether you are a seasoned diver or a first-time snorkeler, planning your trip to swim with turtles on the Gold Coast requires careful preparation to make the most of your adventure.

Why the Gold Coast Is Perfect for Swimming with Turtles

The Gold Coast boasts a diverse marine ecosystem that is home to several species of sea turtles, including green turtles, loggerheads, and hawksbills. Its warm waters, coral reefs, and abundant food sources create the perfect environment for turtles to thrive. Popular snorkeling and diving spots along the coast allow visitors to encounter turtles in their natural environment, making it one of the best places in Australia to swim with turtles.

Best Times to Swim with Turtles

While the Gold Coast is a year-round destination, the best time to swim with turtles is during the warmer months, typically from November to March. During this period, the water temperature is ideal for snorkeling and diving, and visibility is often at its peak. Additionally, summer brings increased turtle activity as nesting and hatching season occurs, offering a higher chance of encountering these incredible creatures.

Top Locations on the Gold Coast to Swim with Turtles

Cook Island Marine Reserve

Just off the southern Gold Coast, Cook Island is a haven for marine life and a popular spot to swim with turtles. The calm, shallow waters around the island make it suitable for snorkelers and divers of all skill levels.

Wave Break Island

Located near Southport, Wave Break Island offers excellent conditions for snorkeling and diving. The sheltered waters and vibrant coral reefs provide an ideal environment to spot turtles and other marine species.

Julian Rocks (Byron Bay)

A short drive from the Gold Coast, Julian Rocks is a world-famous diving site where sea turtles are commonly seen. The area’s rich biodiversity makes it a must-visit for anyone planning to swim with turtles.

What to Expect During Your Swim with Turtles

Professional Guided Tours

Many local tour operators offer guided snorkeling and diving excursions to help visitors safely and responsibly swim with turtles. These tours typically include all necessary equipment, such as masks, snorkels, fins, and wetsuits, as well as a safety briefing to ensure a comfortable experience.

Close Encounters with Turtles

Swimming with turtles is a truly magical experience. These gentle creatures often glide gracefully through the water, allowing visitors to observe them up close. However, it’s essential to maintain a respectful distance and avoid touching or disturbing them to protect their natural behavior and habitat.

Other Marine Life

In addition to turtles, Gold Coast waters are teeming with vibrant marine life. Expect to encounter colorful fish, rays, and coral formations as you explore the underwater world.

Essential Tips for a Memorable Experience

Book Early: Guided tours for swimming with turtles are popular, especially during peak season. Secure your spot in advance to avoid disappointment.

Wear Reef-Safe Sunscreen: Protect the marine environment by using eco-friendly sunscreen that doesn’t harm coral reefs or aquatic life.

Practice Responsible Tourism: Follow the guidance of your tour operator, avoid littering, and respect marine life to help preserve the ecosystem for future generations.

Bring an Underwater Camera: Capture the breathtaking moments of your encounter with turtles while ensuring your equipment is waterproof and secured.

Know Your Limits: If you are not a confident swimmer, opt for a guided snorkeling tour with safety measures in place.

Conclusion

Swimming with turtles on the Gold Coast is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that combines adventure, nature, and tranquility. By planning your trip carefully and respecting the marine environment, you can create lasting memories while contributing to the conservation of these incredible creatures. Whether you explore Cook Island, Wave Break Island, or Julian Rocks, the opportunity to swim with turtles will undoubtedly be a highlight of your Gold Coast visit.

Secrets to Healthy Skin with the Best Sun-Friendly Products

Summer is the season of sunshine, beaches, and outdoor fun, but it can also be tough for your skin. With intense UV rays, high humidity, and frequent sweating, your skin needs extra care to stay healthy and radiant. Dermatologists emphasise using effective products and maintaining a routine to protect your skin from summer’s harsh conditions. So, what do the experts recommend? Let’s explore their top picks and discover the best skin care products in Australia, whether needed. 

1. Sunscreen: The Ultimate Skin Protector

The number one must-have in your summer skincare arsenal is sunscreen. Dermatologists agree that a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is essential for protecting your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Regular application reduces the risk of sunburn, premature aging, and even skin cancer.

Look for lightweight, non-greasy formulas that won’t clog your pores, especially if you’re prone to acne. Sunscreens are infused with antioxidants, which add an extra layer of protection by combating free radicals caused by sun exposure.

Wearing sunscreen daily is like giving your skin a shield against time.

2. Hydrating Cleansers for a Fresh Start

Sweat, sunscreen, and environmental pollutants can build up on your skin during the summer, making it crucial to cleanse thoroughly. Dermatologists recommend using a gentle, hydrating cleanser that removes impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils.

Foam-based or gel cleansers work well for oily skin, while cream-based options suit dry skin types. Incorporating one of the best skin care products in Australia ensures you maintain a fresh, clean canvas daily.

3. Lightweight Moisturisers to Combat Dehydration

Even in summer, your skin needs hydration. Heat and sun exposure can dehydrate it, leaving it dull and prone to flakiness. Opt for lightweight, water-based moisturisers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which lock in moisture without feeling heavy.

Many of the best skin care products in Australia feature dual-action moisturizers that also include SPF for extra protection. These moisturisers are perfect for keeping skin soft and supple throughout the day.

4. Vitamin C Serums for a Radiant Glow

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that dermatologists love for its ability to brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of sunspots. It’s especially beneficial during the summer because it protects against environmental damage and enhances your skin’s natural glow.

Incorporating a Vitamin C serum into your morning routine boosts your skin’s defences and pairs well with sunscreen for optimal protection. 

5. Exfoliants for Smooth and Clear Skin

Exfoliation is key to removing dead skin cells and preventing clogged pores. However, dermatologists advise against over-exfoliating during the summer as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Gentle chemical exfoliants with AHAs or BHAs are great for maintaining smooth, glowing skin.

Using the best skin care products Australia ensures that your exfoliation routine is effective without compromising your skin’s health.

6. Lip Care: Don’t Forget Your Pout

Your lips are just as vulnerable to sun damage as the rest of your skin. Dermatologists recommend using a lip balm with SPF to keep your lips hydrated and protected. Choose balms enriched with nourishing ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil to prevent cracking and dryness.

Summer-ready lips are easy to achieve when you opt for some of the best skin care products Australia, specially designed for delicate lip care.

Conclusion 

Summer skincare is all about prevention, hydration, and repair. Following dermatologist-approved tips and using high-quality products can protect your skin from damage while maintaining a radiant glow. Incorporate essential items like sunscreen, Vitamin C serums, and hydrating moisturisers into your routine for optimal results.

When finding the best skin care products in Australia, choose options tailored to your specific needs and climate. With the right care, your skin can look and feel its best—even under the summer sun!

These are the critical things to know before going on an international cruise from Dubai.

Stock Snacks and Dab Sun Lotion

 Boarding occasionally can take a while, so try to have a quantity of snacks on hand to stave off hunger. Bring easy-to-carry, light snacks from nuts to fruit or delicious granola bars. Be certain to dab some sun lotion on earlier than you step outside, as it is probably going to be sunlit for a longer phase during your embarkation duration.
