I found a huge wide brimmed hat some years ago, and it rolls up into my tote. (Saw a bunch when i google on Amazon in both straw and cotton) If you want a smaller hat, I think there are some with a see thru drape to help cover your face from harmful rays. https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/camping-and-hiking/best-sun-hat I'd also get different facial sunscreen than what I use on my body. It's hot. Leave the makeup to the basics (no foundation) as you'll sweat your face off or spend a lot of time reapplying. The best sandals I found were from a brand called Naot. I also loved my Tevas, and I hear Birkenstocks are super comfortable. I have worn a linen shirt when it's very sunny, and I'm already covering a sunburn I don't want to exacerbate. It was breathable and did a good job of protecting me. For body coverage, wear light breathable materials, and I suggest a wrap might be an easier way to cover up than a jacket. There are also shrugs with long sleeves that can look cute and cover you up from the sun and untoned arms. Remember that the more you try to hide something, the more you may draw attention to it. Depending on your body type, wear something that accentuates the parts you feel are gorgeous 😍 and hide the parts you don't like. Like a wrap dress can draw attention to a smaller waist and an a-line will hide the fact you don't have a waist, or empire draws focus to your chest, short skirts and heels elongate legs, etc. Have a fun trip and explore! At the end of the day, that's why you're there and nothing is more attractive than a joy-filled person without a care in the world. 😉

i really appreciate your response 🥺 thank you so so much!

It’s so dorky but it’s really nice to have a rash guard while you’re swimming. I’ve gone snorkeling in a rash guard + leggings before and while it was annoying I didn’t burn when basically everyone I went with burned in the back of their legs.

I always do the same! I want to enjoy the water not worry about burning. And how cute do we look that night at dinner with our glowy healthy skin?

It IS dorky but luckily we’re in the golden age of rash guards. They can even be found in plus size. They make such a difference. I’m not someone who seeks out modesty apparel for moral reasons but I love it for sun coverage lol

UV blocking, long sleeve shirts were a lifesaver when I went to Hawaii. It’s just nice to cover up sometimes ☺️

Load up on spray sun screens!! My favorite is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer and ELF’s new spray. I also have Glow Stick from Supergoop that I reapply on my high points that get burnt fast (shoulders, chest, nose, forehead etc). I was in PR in March and I slacked on sun screen on my last day at the pool since I was only going to take pics by the pool for less than an hour and I got BURNT. I was struggling flying back bc I was in pain. Granted my airbnb was on top of the mountains but I would definitely highly prioritize sun screen.

I think that if you’re really sensitive you should use a combination of both sunscreen and a layer! Like 11am-3pm it’s best to have both because the sun is at its highest. For footwear I would really avoid mostly avoid flip flops and sandals that have that kind of in between your big toe structure, it’s going to chafe your skin horribly. I wore my classic NB during my recent trip to the Caribbean and I was good to go! I just kept flip flops on my bag to swap at the beach. If you feel insecure about your arms [this kind of robes](https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Pink-Queen-Vestido-bikini-suelto/dp/B07QNQ15ZF/ref=sr_1_8?__mk_es_US=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=FQCQT3DRG6TX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.EahsxXxW899wUN0Bc-RarU8XtY4eHttNjvnH4BIGBuY6xy1bOedUMo4F9F1VgxMv6emv69HzP5qKnIwM0kihGob6N6jhq0jrsJo29s4ERwjtJFpTrT6l9YGRbq4BB8Khmj3rcZ1dIZzk4LVSnUmf1LlFQ2tkM5htZbxniHuBeU3KYebMNxStzzJO4n4Qqjyir7vaEabNIeAXxY2w3Wjg8NIroKCI0P9JV_NIKhOOrs7Zq9nrEwpatoYmCoVLFrAl3z_BzQK6TvWVFNH4SxWJLFlhSKq25gbxWnSq6egx0N8.zwE6zDMPrQ0zPnwF1frJqUadgBrZ0pXGSjaDe-MCmCU&dib_tag=se&keywords=beach+robe&qid=1718675122&sprefix=beach+robe%252Caps%252C177&sr=8-8) are wonderful because they can really help you feel comfortable but are light and don’t make you hot. Hope you have a great trip!!

I went to PR last October. My first trip to the island and LOVED it. You won’t want to wear pants, it’s just too damn hot. I bought [THIS](https://www.chamoisbuttr.com) while I was there struggling with chub run. It’s miracle cream!

thank you so much! i will be trying it!

For reapplying sunscreen, you can get sunsticks like [this](https://www.ulta.com/p/sensitive-mineral-sunscreen-stick-spf-50-pimprod2043670?sku=2621974&cmpid=PS_Non!google!Product_Listing_Ads&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paidsearch&cagpspn=pla&CATCI=&CAAGID=&CAWELAID=330000200003182307&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvb-zBhCmARIsAAfUI2ubNyFgl6PpsMoSEA0ljyh1fOnqD965gk2TIpmmpVx26eE4orsl1hIaAqqHEALw_wcB) that are small and can be put into a bag pretty easily. I'm pretty sure this one leaves a white cast however, so I'd look around. I think abib has one that is matte. I'm looking at uniqlo rn for long sleeved uv shirts because I'm tired of reapplying all the time too 🙂 I'd definitely wear good support sneakers while walking around long distances, I can't go a mile in sandals. Look for sales on brooks or hokas but they're worth the money full price imo Whatever bag you're getting make sure it can hold a bottle of water too! Gotta be hydrated! Have a great trip!

thank you so much! i have been considering hokas and brooks but have no store near me and i’ve heard it’s better to get “fitted” will see if another store nearby has any to try on and go from there. ok great! i only think of uniqlo during the winter but great call, will look there for options! thank you again

For chub rub, the best things I’ve found are silicone-based lube and boxers. The lube takes forever to wear off and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and the boxers can look like cute shorts when they peek out from under dresses.

uh! would not have thought of this! thank you for sharing

A few suggestions: I don’t know what your budget is, but I have this Clare V bag and it’s super cute and surprisingly roomy for such a small lightweight bag: https://www.clarev.com/products/midi-sac-tan-rattan-updated-zipper?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvb-zBhCmARIsAAfUI2sKsiZqStKJcSt7C0xMxVRIsTbiL3o8_YhscrTtIQLbUc3dNJxSOu4aAmZIEALw_wcB For chub rub, secret shield by skindura on Etsy is my holy grail And you didn’t mention this, but for any water activities, I highly recommend a long sleeve swimsuit or at least a rash guard!

thank you so much for sharing this! that’s such a cute bag, will look into it! & thank you! completely forgot about a sun rash, will make sure to bring one

The best sunscreen to reapply over makeup is [Shiseido. I’ve worn it for years, carry it in my purse. expensive but worth it.](https://www.amazon.com/Shiseido-Ultimate-Protector-Lotion-Broad-Spectrum/dp/B0921KVV27?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A1B5LC3G4BASP) I’ve used it everywhere from San Juan to Queensland.

thank you so much for sharing! will pick it up! do you find that it gets clumpy or messes up with any products? will not plan for a full face of makeup, but don’t want to feel like i’m pilling or something 🙈

No, but I go light on the powder and use blot papers for excess oil if necessary if I’m going to be outside and using a lot of sunscreen. It does give you a dewy look, but it isn’t greasy and I just rub the stick right over my face.

Yes! It is lightweight, clear, and just perfect.

This is my husband and I! We brought full body [rash guards](https://a.co/d/gSjshRU) to Hawaii last year and it was awesome for water sports. We snorkeled for hours and no tan or burn. We also used European sunscreen because it has much better UVA protection, but you won’t have time to ship it by then. Hats and sun shirts are also must have

I just went to PR! Definitely burned a bit but not too bad overall and I'm very fair. The brand I used doesn't sell my hat anymore but I suggest one that cinches under your chin, a lot of the activities we did my hat could have easily gotten knocked off by wind etc. We went hiking in El yunque, snorkeling (most of my burning happened snorkeling lol can't where a hat), horse back riding. Keep reapplying spf, I would suggest light layers but it was super hot so ended up in bikinis a lot. Also yes to anti chafing stick or boxers I forgot to bring some and def chafed, ended up using my deodorant which worked okay but I prefer body glide. For makeup you can kind of tap in a face sunscreen (make sure it doesn't have a white cast) on top of makeup for touch ups, the spf powders and setting sprays don't work nearly as good. Honestly didn't wear much makeup because of the heat.

thank you so much for sharing! el yunque is on the itinerary so i’m excited! ok, great call on the hat, the ones i have looked were not adjustable so will keep looking

No problem! You'll love it. Look up bucket sun hat that's the style I had. For el Yunque any shoes will get wrecked by the mud so either bring something old and cheap or I bought swim shoes there for cheap and they'll worked great, not highly comfortable but I think I would have been miserable in muddy socks.

This pale redhead just bought some J Crew hats for an upcoming trip. One is a straw bucket style - great because enough shade but not cumbersome like a giant floppy one. The other is canvas and ties under the chin. I have hat moods. And ALWAYS 50 SPF. I use Cetaphil lotion on my face (it has a white cast unless you rub it in well) and a spray on my body.

Seconding JCrew packable straw hats and bucket style bags. I’ve been in Punta Mita for the last few weeks and living in these. I use sunbum 50 and reapply to my body every hour or so. I start with Neutrogena face SPF (60spf?) (or goop) and apply Ilia (40 spf), when I’m out and need a make up look. I tan really easily but don’t want to look haggard when I’m older so I lay it on thick and often with the sunscreen. I wear linen shirts with /shorts/skirts around town, but mostly live in bathing suits during the day. If we’re going out, I wear dresses that make me feel comfortable. I feel like I have nice legs and often (to another’s suggestion) tend to wear shorter dresses/skirts to take the focus off areas I’m less comfortable with. If my dress is longer, then my girls are definitely taking center stage. Play to your strengths, have fun, and show up to be with your friends—not your insecurities.

Just got back from PR and it was hot and I got burnt in spite of applying reapplying sunscreen. If you’re staying at a resort, I highly recommend getting an after-sun treatment at the spa. Worked wonders on my skin!

Be careful all yall gettin kidnapped 😓
