Sun Protection > Lancome Sun Protection

Advantages: absorbs well
Disadvantages: can be hard to find in shops

...scars further to an operation, Lancome Soleil Ultra Protection Milk was recommended to me last summer, as it is SPF 50, which protects sensitive skin or areas that have scarring. The packaging recommends it should be used by people with sensitivity to the sun and also young children. Unlike many other sun creams it does not leave any white streaks or greasy residues behind. It has a fresh, summer smell to it which is difficult to describe. The ...
...a 150 ml package. I have bought this before from Duty Free at airports although have struggled to find it in the UK at standard shops like Boots. The cost at Duty Free was approximately £15.00. I would recommend this product to anyone with scar damage or sensitive skin, although as I have found it is not the easiest of products to find, although 150ml lasts quite a long time if you do not use it all over. If you do want to try this product all the ... Read review

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
