Advantages: UVA/UVB Protection, moisturises
Disadvantages: A bit greasy

...I have been using Garnier Ambre Solaire for quite a while now and there are some things I like about it and others I don't. It has both UVA and UVB protection which we are told is a great benefit and we should always look for both of these in our sun screen lotion. They both react towards the body differently as so both need to be protected from. UBV rays can cause sunburn and some forms of skin cancer. In the past UVA was considered less harmful, ...
...protected." I use the Garnier moisturising protection milk which is apparently a non-greasy, non-sticky formula which is immediately absorbed and leaves skin feeling moisturised while it protects. I do agree that is leaves my skin feeling moisturised. After a week of applying this daily on holiday my skin was really nice and soft and you could feel that it was really taken care of and had not been damaged in the sun at all. This is because it contains ... Read review

Advantages: easy to use, and good protection from burning
Disadvantages: can't use on face, pump stoped working when bottle was nearly empty

I've always used more traditional creams as sun protection, and was a little sceptical as to how much protection would be given by a spray such as this, but was plesantly surprised. Despite being in 35 degree heat, I did not burn, nor did I peel. The product was easy to use, in particular it was much easier to re-apply during the day (after swimming etc, or just out and about) than a cream would have been. It wasn't greasy, and didn't cause any ...
...particularly when the bottle was nearly empty, so we had to decant the remainder of the first bottle into a second to avoid wasting the product. Also, it's not for facial use, which I didn't realise when I bought it, so you still have to use cream on your face. All in all, I was pleased with this product, and would definitely use it again. ... Read review

Advantages: Gets You Brown Easily, Easy To Apply, Comfortable When On, Moisturising
Disadvantages: You Miss It When You Don't Have It.

...nearest I could find was Hawaiian Tropic carrot gel SPF8, so I bought it thinking that as it was made by the same people and still contained carrot that it would do the same job for me. I was wrong, I didn't tan half as much as I had done using the carrot oil and had more reapplying it far more as it was a lower factor. I've also found that I am peeling now I am home, which I did not when I had used the oil. I don't want to put the substitute gel ...
...shall be taking my trusty Hawaiian Tropic SPF 15 Carrot Oil with me, and coming home lovely and brown. I buy my oil online (ebay usually) and it costs me about £6 per bottle which is a good price for this, however I've noticed that Netto have it in stock soon at £2.99 (woohoo) so I will be stocking up on it ready for any more holidays next year. *Please remember that it's different for every skin, so remember to reapply according to how your own ...

Advantages: Apply in the morning, and you're protected all day.
Disadvantages: The smell of alcohol seems strong and also wasn't good for my facial skin.

...hair. I am a complete ultrasun convert. I spend whole days sitting at cricket matches and the luxury of applying this before leaving home, and not having to worry about re-applying during the day is so liberating! Removing the need to re-apply means that I can eat my picnic without crumbs sticking to me or tasting the suncream. I don't rub the ink off my newspaper or book onto my newly greased skin. I also cycle into work regularly and I'm such ...
...haven't yet sweated it off. I tested it on a two week trip to Barbados, and although I will never want to laze in the sun all day, at least I could go out and about without being concerned about being caught out. The freedom I now have is similar to learning how to ride my bike-independence from my fair skin! There is a strong whiff of alcohol as you apply the product, I found I'd apply to my arms, then my legs, and then my neck/décolletage to limit ... Read review

Advantages: Offers some protection
Disadvantages: Not a lot of protection

Hawaiian Tropic carrot sun gel spf 4 Having recently been on my jollies, and being a bit of a fan of the lotions and potions which accompany pool side living, this is one of the products I decided to try this year. ~~What is it?~~ The sun gel promises to be an advanced formula which offers protection against UVB rays. It contains Aloe Vera and Carrot extracts and is pH neutral. It also has a sunscreen of SPF 4, so whilst not a high factor, it ...
...greatly ~~Made by…~~ Hawaiian Tropic The website, www.hawaiiantropic.com has lots of information about their products and staying safe in the sun ~~Verdict~~ I had never tried this before, and having used it this time, would definitely consider buying it again. The product is easy to apply, and is absorbed almost immediately, so there is no stickiness. Although it has a low protection factor, I didn't burn and felt that it did offer protection ...
