Sun Protection

Good if you already have a tan....

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: too low a factor

This suncream was easily absorbed and smelled nice, the spray made it easy to apply however i did find that i probably wasted half of it in to thin air when spraying it on to my arms and legs.Best to apply to your hands first to avoid wastage. The only problem is that 10 is just too low a factor for a suncream, unless you have already built up a tan you will burn using this product! The product wasnt cheap however i bought it when it was on offer ...
...to have payed the full rrp for it. The bottle is small and ideal for taking to the beach and fitting in small bags this does mean that you need to take more bottles on holiday as i found that i ran out fast when i used it on the whole of my family, The cream was very moisturising and left my skin smooth and soft. ...

Review of Nivea Sun Spray

Sunblock

Advantages: all of it
Disadvantages: none

I have always had sensitive skin to a wide range of things, including the sun. I have a very fair skin tone and so it is vital for me to protect myself against the sun. My friend also had her two children come on holiday with us and so it was majorly important to protect them also. It is spf15 and therefore has a good level of protection, however if you do burn extremely easily then i suggest this product but with a higher spf. It is oil free ...
...with a severe shine. Because it is oil free it also does not clog your pores and cause imperfections and therefore is suitable for use on the face aswell as all on the body that is on show to the sun. It prevents you from sun damage, and therefore is anti ageing as the sun can cause brown spots and make you appear alot older,this has been specially formulated to ensure that it protects you from this. It also has a slight tint in this sunblock, ...

...8, 15 and 30. Proderm also make an after-sun, a nappy rash product, and a mousse for relieving the itching associated with eczema. The product was originally designed to protect people with eczema and therefore should be safe for those with sensitive skins. My skin reacts appallingly to almost everything, but I have never met a problem with Proderm. WHO MAKES IT? The Proderm range is made by a Swedish Medical research company Ponsus Pharma. They ...
...been so successful with its Proderm range that it is now getting ready to float on the stock exchange. Proderm is distributed in the UK by Chefaro UK based in Cambridgeshire. HOW TO USE The easiest way to describe it for the ladies, is exactly as you would for a hair mousse. Give it a shake, squirt a ball sized amount into your hands and apply to the required area. A little goes a long way, and any surplus will quickly be absorbed into the skin. ...

Review of Proderm Transdermal Sun Protection Mousse

I'll stick to my carmex thanks!

Advantages: looks glossy
Disadvantages: sticky, greasy, messy

...almost ever since I've know Vaseline has been around and my Mum always tended to buy it in one of those HUUUUGE tubs and she just used to plaster it on anything! Dry lips, grazes, cute, etc! Anyway so it seems to be one of those things that has just been around for ages, but I haven't used it for years and it was only a year or so ago when I saw these little round metal pots, with the famous 'Vaseline' written across it! As I had dry chapped lips ...
...the final price! Range: Vaseline has a large range, from the familiar yellowy tub, to these little pots. In these pot range there is the blue tub which is the original , SPF 15 one which is in the yellow tub, the green one which is an aloe vera one and the pink one, which is a tinting one! My view: I am not sure on this product, it isn't as good as what I have remembered and doesn't really soothe my lips as the lip balm gets soaked up ever so ...

Review of Vaseline Lip Therapy Sun Proection SPF 15

Garnier Ambre Solaire GEL good for oily skin;for use on body only

Advantages: Gel formulation, makes skin shimmer, available in high SPFs
Disadvantages: price, smell, dry oil feel on skin

What attracted me at first to this sun-gel was the fact that it was a gel- I have very oily skin. However, if you are planning to use it on your face, don’t. It not only makes your skin shimmer (pleasant effect on legs, for example; but on your face it looks like you’re sweating)and also IT STINGS. This is because of the high alcohol content. It does warn you not to use it on your face on the back. A major drawback is the smell- it really, really ...
...not greasy, it’s more of a kind of dry oiliness (it reminded me of body oil). I did not like the way it felt on my skin. Also it is expensive, but then most sunscreens are expensive. For oily skin pricewise, you’d be better to look for a supermarket sunscreen for children, as they tend to have less oil content. Also, look out for bargains- both Boots and supermarkets like ASDA or Sainsbury’s have 2 for 1 deals which I have seen often before. All ...
