I'm a convert

Advantages: Protects, moisturises, smells lovely, waterproof, cheaper abroad
Disadvantages: None

...just as good in quality. Hawaiian Tropic, a worldwide sun care brand from the US, promised to do just that. The packaging As most Hawaiian Tropic products, the sun spray comes in a tall and flat 200ml orange bottle with a spray nozzle. The shape of the bottle fits nicely in the hand and any bag where space is limited. Apperance and application I've always preferred sun sprays as opposed to lotions and that's because of the easiness ...
...tan when I started using Hawaiian tropic. Having said that in the past month there wasn't a day that we got a clear sky being the end of winter and springtime until now. For a week or so the sun's been very hot and tanning was restricted to after 3 o'clock the heat and rays being in full swing. My skin darkened intensively in the course of a few days while using Hawaiian tropic and not once did I have a sunburn. I had some reddening on the shoulders ...

Review of Hawaiian Tropic Maximum Sensitive Sun Spray UVA

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 ...

Review of Sunsense Ultra (SPF60)

Garnier Ambre solaire clear protect is great despite price

Advantages: Easy to apply, stays on for a long time, good protection
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

I went on holiday this year and decided to try this sun protection. I bought the medium (SPF15) as I am quite tanned already. I was happy with my purchase. The spray evenly spread the suntan lotion and gave great protection. I did not burnt once. The thing that stood out was how natural it looked. A friend had bought a sun protection that was a lotion rather than a liquid spray and you could tell the difference. With a lotion, it is difficult to ...
...survived in the pool to an extent. If you spend too long in the pool, you will need to top up. In my opinion the price was too much. I paid 12 pounds for a standard bottle. However a spray should last longer. Prices are always higher when you buy big brands such as Garnier. In this case, however, it is worth it. ...
