Advantages: Can be used for the scalp, waterproof Disadvantages: I'm finding it hard to get hold of!
much choice though, as I needed something that was suitable for my scalp, which this is.
I don't always like to wear a hat when I'm out in the sunshine, and this was the only product I could find that was suitable for spraying onto my hair. So I bought it.
As far as I'm aware this product only comes in factors 4, 8 and 15, I bought SPF15 because of my tendency to burn, I wanted the highest available. It has a three star UVA rating which is apparently superior.
For those of you who don't know what the SPF means...
Basically, if we say that you can stay in the sun for 10 minutes without burning, when using sunscreen you can stay in for that initial ten minutes multiplied by the SPF you are wearing.
So with the factor 15dryoilspray you can stay in for (10 x 15) - 150 minutes or two and a half hours without burning.

Advantages: Good For Sesitive Skin Disadvantages: None that I can see
I've been using this product for several years now - previously I used lotions and always developed a nasty prickly heat rash, but I don't get this with MalibuDryOilSpray, I think this is because it is so light and none greasy and therefore doesn't block the pores also it still allows you to sweat - nasty I know but normal waterproof lotions seem to trap perspiration in - hence the rash.
It's easy to apply, and if you are on your own you can still protect those hard to reach places. I also use it on my scalp - having fine hair it offers good protection to the head!
It smells lovely and always reminds me of holidays - good enough for anyone!!!
Its available in various factors from low to high i.e a very low 2 to 20 and the cheapest I found it was poundland for yes only £1.00, in Asda expect to pay £1.99.
Personally I don ...

Advantages: Affordable, easy to use Disadvantages: Slightly greasy (but it is Oil!)
I've already done a review on the Calypso After Sun spray and I am a huge fan of their products.
It's that time of year again, and we are off on Holiday at the end of June. I've already started shopping for Holiday bits and bobs and one of my necessities is Calypso DryOilspray. My holiday is not complete without it!
I first used Calypso DryOilspray in January of this year when we went to Lanzarote. My boyfriend tans easily and quickly but as we were only going for a week, he decided to buy some Oil before we went, to speed up the 'baking' process!
We had previously used Piz Buin Tanning Oil. This was in a normal bottle, rather than a spray and went everywhere. By the end of the Holiday, the oil was everywhere and has sand encrusted around the top. The bottle dripped and leaked in our beach bag, all over our towels ...
