Advantages: Protects and nourishes your hair, leaving an au naturel scent Disadvantages: More expensive than usual drugstore brands
Four words. I love this product!
Although PhytoPlage Veil is listed in the beach range of Phyto products, I find it is fabulous for providing year round protection from damaging UV rays. I use mine every day and it not only protects, it nourishes too.
A lightweight and non-greasy, veil of spray, it contains sweet almond, sunflower extract, white lotus extract and more. The scent is beautiful and is as fresh as a summer breeze.
You can spritz it on your hair after you have styled but I also use it as a stand-alone styling product.

We recently sent our 11 yo girl off to France with a bottle of the stuff. She shared it with her friend and applied it themselves. Neither of them got burnt, except for the one occasion when her friend didn't use use it!
This is good stuff, but it comes in at about £24 for 200 ml, £15 for 100ml (shop prices). But as it only needs to be applied once ...
As a redhead, obviously with very pale skin, I burn easily. A friend reccommended I try P20 a few years ago, and I have used nothing else since.
It will stain your clothes if you do not leave the product time to dry, and I have found I do get a heat rash sometimes - only if I apply too much. The trick is only using enough for a light coverage.
I now live on the Gold Coast of Australia, and will not step outside without using P20, I have never burned, and have not found anything else that enables me to be in the sun all day! The only downside I would say is the cost. ...
