Spending a full day courtside at the Australian Open means sunshine, long walks between matches and plenty of heat, so a smart beauty and wellbeing kit is essential. First up, sun protection is non negotiable. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Sunscreen is a cult favourite for a reason, offering high level protection that feels lightweight on the skin, while Mecca To Save Face SPF50+ Sunscreen is perfect for easy reapplication and sits beautifully under makeup.

For added hydration and protection, CeraVe Daily Face Moisturiser SPF 50+ helps keep skin comfortable and moisturised throughout the day without feeling heavy.

To stay feeling fresh from first serve to match point, Rexona Clinical Protection Deodorant is a game changer, especially on hot Melbourne days.

A quick spritz of Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Cucumber and Aloe is also a must for instant refreshment, soothing overheated skin and giving a cooling boost between sets. It is the kind of pick me up that feels luxurious but practical when temperatures climb.

 

Hydration is just as important as skincare, and Hydralyte Electrolyte Effervescent tablets make it easy to stay on top of fluids, especially if you are spending hours in the sun. Pair that with a trusty drink bottle from Owala or Frank Green to keep your water icy cold all day long. Rounding out the essentials, Bandaids are handy for unexpected blisters from all the walking, while Wet Wipes are perfect for quick clean ups, sticky hands or a refreshing wipe down.

With these essentials in your bag, you can focus on the tennis, the atmosphere and soaking up everything the Australian Open has to offer while staying cool, protected and fresh.

You can find Mecca To Save Face SPF50+ Sunscreen and Mario Badescu at Mecca (and at the pop up at the Australian Open), Frank Green and Owala at leading retailers, and everything else conveniently available at Chemist Warehouse (and at the pop up at the Australian Open)

Sunscreens – Always read the label and follow directions for use. Sunscreen is only one form of sun protection. Prolonged high-risk sun exposure should be avoided. Reapply as directed.
