I decided to buy this oil-free spray instead of the usual cream, as i was told my sensitive skin was reacting with the oil to produce a nasty rash. I do not know if this was necessarily true, but i have not developed a rash since. With the hot weather we have been having i think this spray is wonderful, as it not only protects the skin but also cools and refreshes it.
The spray does not have a fragrance and does not feel like you are wearing any kind of sun cream whatsoever. Unlike an average sun cream this product does not feel heavy or cloggy on the skin. The bottle just gives a fine mist of the porduct which drys on the skin immeadiately.
The spray is incredibly easy to apply, because it even works up side down. However as a result of the spray mechanism the product is wasted slightly as not 100% of the spray lands on the skin. I have found that this problem can be reduced if you hold the bottle closer to the skin.
I would recommend thsi product to those who already have a slight tan, as this product only has a sun protection factor of 15. This also means that the product has to be reapplied quite often, however this is not too much of a problem as application takes no time at all.
Overall this product is a very good alternative to sun creams and is of an excellent quality. The spray would particularly suit those with oily or combination skin, as it is oil free. However it would not be suited to pale skin, as it does not offer enough protection from the sun. Despite this such a good product does come at a price- £15, but i think it is worth it.
