Nivea Sun Spray > Reviews (22)

Have you ever noticed that one little sniff of some sun tan lotion immedeatley whisks your mind back to your last holiday ?

Well it does for me anyway!

Having two small kids that just hate any sort of attention where they have to stand still for more than 10 seconds we were having great difficulty in getting them covered in sun protection the other week.

Apart from the obvious such as covering them in clothes with long sleves and hats there didnt seem much other option but to pin them down and rub lotion all over them, an unpleasent experience all around as I gained more swift kicks from my daughter to a very sensetive part of my anatomy than was absolutley necessary!

Nuff said!

There had to be a better option, so as we were trailing around the town on a sweltering hot day, just browsing about, I noticed a smallish navy blue bottle with a yellow lid, the best bit is to come......

it said......... SUN SPRAY ........

YESSSSSS!

This was the answer to my prayers, poor old daddy was going get his deep voice back at last!

We didnt take much notice of the price at first , but while we were queing at the checkout (Wilkinsons) I noticed it was £7.99!!!!

A bit pricey, but the thought of how much easier and less painful for all involved persuaded me it was definatley worth it!

The one we got is Factor 20, with Vitamin E (for protection against premature skin ageing), UVA and UVB Filters included, all the filters you need to stop that horrible skin cancer and serious burning!

Its also waterproof, but I would recommend reapplying it more regularly if swimming or messing about with the garden hose :0)

Its so easy to apply, much simpler than lotion from normal bottles that only seems to spread a few centimetres before its dried up!

A couple of squirts and I had done all of my daughters front and almost both arms! Really quick and easy!

The smell too was lovely, like I have said already, I could have shut my eyes and been back in Greece.

Its so simple to use and much less hastle than spending hours rubbing cream into the kids, especially when they just want to run off!

So I would definatley try not to worry about the price, all sun tan lotions are pretty expensive anyway, just this one is miles more conveniant!

Our 200 ml bottle cost £7.99 from Wilkinsons, but I have seen it in most large supermarkets and just about all chemists!
