Great Idea, formula needs tweaking though.
Review of Nivea Sun Spray by
ScottishGirl82
Advantages: No Sun Burn, Nice Smell, Easy To Use.
Disadvantages: Quite Pricey, can be quite sticky, top comes off too easy.
...doggy. I immediately apply the Nivea Sun Spray and my first thought it "What a lovely smell" its that classic holiday smell, not sure how to describe it really but you all know the holiday smell!
The nozzle sprayed the sunscreen evenly and it was very easy to apply using my hands, however, I found it to leave my skin quite tacky and that put me off abit. Plus it left my hands really sticky after application, again that wasn't very nice. If I could ... ...case I wouldn't buy the Nivea again the stickyness being the main fault, I would actually grudge paying £11.99 again to walk around feeling like I'm sticking to myself all day, tis not a pleasant feeling. Another thing I found was the top is really loose, I lost the damn thing between leaving the beach and getting home. So beware of that.
Overall, nice product and good idea but I wouldn't buy it again. ...

Protected at a price!
Review of L'Oreal Solar Expertise by
frankiecesca
Advantages: Smells nice and great lid
Disadvantages: An overpriced sunlotion
...orange sun lotion range that L'oreal do and one of the best features of the bottle is that it has a anti sand lid. I actually didn't realise at first and spent a good few minutes trying to pull the lid off - if you're anything like me and didn't know this about the product then it would come in useful when trying to open! It basically has a lid that you turn 180 degrees and when you do it is angled so that when you squeeze it the lotion comes out ... ...is still obviously on so sand can't get stuck in it. Nifty!
Smell and feel:
The cream is quite a thick one and it fells nice to rub in - not oily and it does smell lovelly. It blends into the skin quite quickly so no waiting around to get dressed after applying! It is quite nice compared to some sun lotions.
Overall opinion:
Overall the sun lotion is pretty expensive considering that it only does the same as cheaper alternatives but it does smell ...

Sun burn symptoms be gone!
Review of Gatineau Melatogenine Suncare Anti-Aging Repair Balm Face After Sun by
smallopals
Advantages: Works instantly, smells great & good for skin
Disadvantages: You always want more.
Being fair, I burn very easily, so I received this in a multi pack of items and at first I thought it would just help with the wrinkles, as there is not alot on the market to help with the pain and tightness of sunburn, but this is a pot of magic for sunburn and dry sun damaged skin. It smells divine and has a mousse-like texture. You do not need much and you only use it on the sun burnt parts of your body. As soon as you use a pea size amount on ... ...you can rub it in, pat it in or smooth it in and leave to sink in, it sinks in, in its own time, if it is absorbed quickly then you might need to add a bit more, it relieves all the symtoms that the sun can give. Its not cheap at around £28 - £35 a jar, however you only use it where you need it. It also prolongs the tan and leaves your skin feeling smooth. The only down side is that you will want to use it all over your body and that it would work ...

If you want a bad tan! Try This
Review of Gatineau Melatogenine Self-tanning Spray by
smallopals
Advantages: Beauty points included
Disadvantages: The smell, colour of the tan, leaky bottle
...expected more with this item. Gatineau are a top name in skin care and you can normally guarantee the products quality, but upon receiving my self tan spray I found that the spray action was easy, just aim and spray. Do not try and use the bottle on any kind of angle to get to those out of reach places, as it just leaked out of the nozzle, so not a lot of good if you live on your own.. and I was not brave enough to turn upside down to do my back ... ...spray tan. Gatineau have still included the beauty passport points on the back of this bottle, which is the only good point really. (Gatineau use the beauty passport scheme to enable customers to collect the points and then send of for items free when they have collected a certain amount) ...

Remember to put on your sun protection cream
Review of Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Face Cream SPF 50 PA+++ by
jenmil
Advantages: Ligth, non greasy and easy to apply.
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive
...as there is daylight.
Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Face cream with an SPF of 50 may seems crazy to some but it does works. Shiseido which is a Japanese branded skin care product have been around for many years and have a good reputation for their research and development.
As a person who tan easily, the Shiseido sun protection cream with its SPF 50 have given me the protection against sun burnt and pigmentation.
The white cream is not very ... ...even skin cancer. Though the Shiseido sun protection cream is not cheap but in the long run it is more cost effective. You only need to apply the cream once in the day and it will provide the protection for the whole day. Shiseido Sun Protection face cream with SPF 50 is my recommendation for a good suncare face cream. Shiseido Sun Protection face cream can be purchased from most high street department store and it is retailed at about £24. ...
