Advantages: It rubs in well, doesn't stain clothes Disadvantages: Price
Since we have just been on holiday, and in a shock fashion had to use sun cream as the sun was out every day, I thought it would be a good time to review the cream that I used on the kids.
The Bottle
--------------
The bottle is blue plastic with a yellow flip lid, which is flat so when you are nearing the end you can stand it upside down to try and get the last bits out! It contains 200ml of sun cream and has all the instructions on the back.
... ...50) before going into the sun and then again 20-30 minutes after, and any time after being in water, even though it is water resistant you can never be too careful with the little ones.
The sun cream
---------------------
The cream is a yellowy cream colour and the texture you would expect of a sun cream, it is easy to squeeze out of the bottle and apply to the skin. The most important thing for me is how easy it is to rub in, I have used Boots ...

Advantages: Great product, nice smell, lasts a long time Disadvantages: Can be expensive if bought singularly
...is why I turned to Nivea Sun Creams. My mum had used them on my brother and I when we went abroad and we never got burnt so for me, that was a great advert. So I strolled into my local chemist and headed straight for the sun creams.
To be honest, I was totally shocked at the price of the stuff! I realise that it is only used for a small portion of the year and a bottle can last a long time, but even so! It was advertised at £10.99 for a 200ml bottle. ... ...flip top. It has the Nivea Sun logo at the top in the middle of the bottle, with CHILDREN'S LOTION written across the middle in coloured letters. Just underneath that in an orange dot, it has the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) written in white letters. The bottle also states it has "Immediate Protection". Long-Lasting Water Resistance, and UVA/UVB Protection System. The back of the bottle has the usage instructions and a long list of ingredients.

Advantages: easy absorbed, imediate protection, and easy to use Disadvantages: none
working in a nursery i see lots of different products come through the doors and personally i feel that this product is one of the best on the market along with many other people with in the nursery.
the cream comes in various factors ranging from 30 to 50+ and is very easy to rub in and absorbs into the skin quickly no more walking round like white ghosts! or feeling all greasy and sticky.
the creams are all water resistant so great for all those ... ...or just getting wet
the cream has a plaesent smell which reminds every one who come into contact with it of summers
the cream also allows the children to go staight into the sun which many others dont so no having to cream and then entertain for half an hour while the cream soaks in which im sure most of you will agree is a hard thing to do when they want to get outside and play
the cream offers the highest posible potection for your children ...

Last year we took our 18 mth old daughter to Florida on holiday, knowing that it was most likely going to be very hot I wanted to make sure that i picked a cream with the highest SPF possible (this one is 50+), and one suitable for sensitive skin (again which this one is) due to it being fragrance and colourant free.
I found it very easy to apply and it was quickly absorbed, ideal as the last thing you want is a slippery baby in the pool, and on ... ...bottle that it is very water resistant.
The only downside of this product which i have to mention is the effect it had on our daughters eyes. After using this for a full day her eyes were very red and sore looking, we discovered that it was a result of her rubbing her eyes and therefore rubbing the cream into them. As a result of this we had to stop using it and switch to a different brand that was sensitive to the eyes (eyes recovered very quickly ...

Advantages: High SPF, Good for sensitive skin, good water resistance Disadvantages: Do not expose to high temperatures - keep in coolbag!
I have 2 children, my youngest is just 5 months old and I was worried about putting creams and lotions on his sensitive, irritable skin. I found this product at the local chemist and I would not change it!
My daughter loves to swim and just yesterday at the beach she was in and out of the water and the cream stayed well in place.
The cream is really easy to use and rubs into the skin well. I also have extremely sensitive skin and I found absolutely ...

Advantages: full protection Disadvantages: havnt found any so far
...months. i decided to use nivea sun cream as i use nivea moisturising cream myself and have done for years. i went to buy the sun lotion and discovered they do creams especially for children. now, i can really only rate the lotion with spf 50+ as this is the only one i have used (appart from a very brief try of the spray lotion which i personally didnt like) my children were out swimming in peak summer months, at peak times and never once even coloured. ... ...be too safe. they could play in sunshine all day and after using this cream for only a short period of time i realised it is excellent and now it is the only sun cream i will use on my kids who also have sensitive skin and have never had a reaction to this cream. it is very easy to apply, doest take long either so kids dont get boerd. can be quite expensive but for great peace of mind, well worth it. keep and eye out for offers, iv just recently ...

...few products i found that nivea baby sun lotion 50+ is very easy to apply and leaves no marks on the body...it protects her and she can enjoy the sun to the full, as i am suffering from exzema and have very sensitve skin i am extra carful in my choices. The only downside i found is the lid as my 2 year old nephew managed to grab the bottle and apply the lotion all over his body including the mouth! ...
