Sunscreen is a necessity for your summer day, but it
can sometimes affect your garment. As with clothing, there is always a risk
that sunscreen, especially zinc-based sunscreen or really oily sunscreens, will
stain your product. So, it’s important to try to not get any sunscreen on your
garments. We would recommend avoiding any zinc-based products.
If you do notice any discolouration, we recommend using Vanish on a gentle cold wash with
your swimsuit in a bra bag (to prevent underwires from popping out) and this
should lift the discoloration – sometimes two washes will lift the stain.
In the same way as if you got sunscreen on a white cotton dress, you'd need to do a
brightening wash to lift the stain.
We recommend applying your sunscreen and letting it soak in before putting on your swimwear.
To help prevent staining, Rachael recommends Feel Good Inc. Sensitive Sunscreen or Ultra Violette Extreme Screen Hand & Body Skinscreen.
