I discovered Nivea Sun Spray by accident really. Just recently I went on holiday to Spain to visit my brother, the weather was just right, lots of sunshine and a nice cooling breeze. The first day I got myself settled ready for a nice long sunbathe when I discovered I had left my usual sun screen at home. Not wanting the bother of getting changed and going down the shops, I found some in by brother's cupboard. (left by a previous visitor).

I have always loved sunbathing and kid myself I know about sun screens, well I thought I did. Being lucky and having skin which quickly tans and doesn't burn easily, I have always used a factor 2. This "borrowed" sun screen was Nivea Sun Spray Factor 10. I immediately though by using factor 10 I would not tan as usual, but I was wrong I came back from that holiday with a beautiful deep all-over tan, well almost all-over, look a bit like a panda in the nude! In fact the tan has stayed with me and my skin still feels good. Usually when I get home the first shower or bath starts my whole body peeling, this didn't happen this time.

I found it very easy to apply, it quickly absorbed into my skin and didn't leave it feeling sticky. Other sun screens I have used in the past seem to fill up my pores and make me perspire, Nivea Sun Spray did not have this affect on me. It has a very pleasant and non-overpowring perfume, although I cannot say what it is. In the long, long list of unrecognisable ingredients it just says, "Parfum (fragrance).

I am really impressed with Nivea Sun Spray and because I left the "borrowed" spray with my brother for the next person, I went straight out and bought some more, sticking to factor 10. With the very hot, sunny weather we have been having since my return I have continued to use it regularly with brilliant affect.

The Nivea Sun Spray factor 10 which I bought is water resistant with Vitamin E and a UVA+UVB Filter System. On the bottle it states that it is "Medium protection for sun acclimatised skin" and should be applied regularly. The bottle also sports a UVA three star logo.

Prices vary a lot and it's worth hunting around to find offers. I bought my 200 ml. bottle for, I think, £12 at Boots, but I used ten £1 vouchers which I had saved up. I wouldn't hesitate to pay the full price for this product though as I think it is brilliant and it suits my type of skin.

Nivea Sun Spray is just one of many sun products they produce, but as this is the first time I have used Nivea's Sun Care Range, I cannot comment on them.

Conclusion
=========
I am so glad I tried this product and I will be forever grateful to the person who left it at my brothers'. It isn't cheap, but it seems to last for ages. In the spray form it is easy to apply and leaves your skin feeling smooth with no stickiness. It gave me a good even tan, but then I tan easily, and most important of all I did not peel. I will definitely make sure I don't forget to take Nivea Sun Spray and most likely their Aftersun, on my cruise in two weeks' time. As long as you choose the factor most suitable for your skin I would not hesitate to recommend trying it.
