A fantastic sun protection cream!

Advantages: easy rub in, protects
Disadvantages: nozzle is annoying!

...I have very fair skin so I burn within minutes of being in the sun, even when it doesn't look sunny I still somehow manage to burn! I have tried all sorts of different products to protect myself from burning and also the aging affects of the sun but I'm always so frustrated by having to keep reapplying the creams frequently and to still burn! I bought Garnier Ambrew Solaire after seeing it advertised on a day time tv show where they were reviewing different skin care products. I bought factor 30 for myself and factor 50 for my baby as they were buy one get one free which was agood job as they're expensive! I bought the bottles with the spray as I thought thie would be easier than just trying to squeeze a bottle and getting it all over me in the process as you always seem to get too much out no matter how much you try... or you don...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire Clear Protect

The Best Sun Protection

Advantages: Clear, spray is easy to use, non-greasy
Disadvantages: None

...I've always hated using sun creams because they just make my skin feel so greasy, even the ones that claim to be non-greasy, so when this one came out I had to try it. It costs around £12 - £13 for a 200ml bottle, but many places have buy one get one free offers on sun care products in the run up to summer, so it's worth trying to get hold of it then. You can get it in factors 10, 20 or 30. According to Ambre solaire, this spray has a patented Mexoryl XL filtration system, to protect against UVA and UVB rays. It protects against sun-induced skin damage and the premature aging effects of the sun's harmful rays. And it claims to do all this whilst leaving no white marks, having an ultra-fresh feel, and being 100% non-greasy and water resistant. It comes in a white bottle with an orange spray top and a clear lid. The lid fastens...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire Clear Protect

Sun protection that lasts

Advantages: Last for six hours per application
Disadvantages: Maybe a touch more expensive that other sun protection

...Working part time on open top tour buses going without sun protection is not really an option for me. Plus when working four-hour shifts taking a break to apply a normal sun cream that lasts only two hours can be impractical. Once upon a time I used to work in the tropics teaching outdoor sport all day. This is another profession that requires sun protection and very soon after starting my job I had found a waterproof cream that lasted all day with just one application. Unfortunately I could find no such thing available in the UK, until now that is. Both Superdrug and Boots stock Proderm in a range of factors: 8, 15, 25 and 30. If your like me you?ll buy from Superdrug but if your a sucker for advantage points then go to Boots, cost really isn?t an issue here. Its the convenience that sells the product. One coating of Proderm...

Review of Proderm Transdermal Sun Protection Mousse

For soft and sun protected lips.

Advantages: Soft and sun protected lips, cheap, effective
Disadvantages: None

...escapes because the lid is on so tightly. Boots sells them in three different varieties. The original lip therapy which is in a blue tin, lip therapy with aloe vera which is in a green tin and lip therapy with SPF15 which comes in a yellow tin and is slightly more expensive at £1.49. Each one has a slight smell, I would call it a sort of lemony citronella smell but once you have it on it goes away and you do not notice it. The SPF15 one has the benefit of not only giving you sot lips but also protecting you from the sun as well. I always wear it when it's a hot day and I go out in the sun as it does offer this protection and although I can't really say that I notice the benefits it does keep my lips soft and hopefully protected. Like it says on the tin this is for lips but you can use it for a wide range of other ailments, such as chapped...

Review of Vaseline Lip Therapy Sun Proection SPF 15

Best sun protection ever?

Advantages: Once a day application, brilliant protection
Disadvantages: initally expensive, may cause staining

...I was recommended this stuff by a friend several years ago. I thought it was a bit expensive, but tried it anyway. I have been using it ever since. As it only has to be applied once a day, 90 mins before exposure to the sun, it was a simple matter of putting it on, having breakfast and then you are ready for all day sun. I have used P20 in Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus and Spain and never once been burnt. I have been swimming & snorkeling and still been protected from sunburn. We recently sent our 11 yo girl off to France with a bottle of the stuff. She shared it with her friend and applied it themselves. Neither of them got burnt, except for the one occasion when her friend didn't use use it! This is good stuff, but it comes in at about £24 for 200 ml, £15 for 100 ml (shop prices). But as it only needs to be applied once...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

Remember to put on your sun protection cream

Advantages: Ligth, non greasy and easy to apply.
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive

...It is a common belief that you only apply sun protection on hot, sunny days. It is not totally true. Sun protection cream is important as long 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 oily and is very easy to apply. It smoothen evenly and you do not need much to cover the whole face. I use it over my moisturiser and under my foundation. It lasted the whole day and I do not have to replenish it. The beauty of this sun protection...

Review of Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Face Cream SPF 50 PA+++

Sun Protection Spray

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 skin irritations. One negative is the pump kept breaking, 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...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire Clear Protect

SPF 45, cheap sun protection lotion.

Advantages: Cheap, good quality.
Disadvantages: Hard to find.

...I am reviewing SPF 45 not SPF 8 as in the picture, Ciao will not/cannot accept new product proposals at the moment so this seems to be the only way of doing this. I know some of you will gleefully 'jump' on this as being in the wrong place, go ahead, feel free. Surprisingly Ciao also do not ask at the bottom if it is SPF 45, they only go up to SPF 30, c'mon Ciao, sort it out, people are leaving in droves. Never heard of No-Ad products? Not surprising as they do not advertise, yet have been going sucessfully in the U.S since 1960, you can get more info on the company, what they do, what they believe in and so on here: http://www.no-ad.com/ No-Ad factor 45 is as simple as you might think, a factor 45 sun tan lotion, or to be correct 'Sun Protective Lotion'. As sun tan lotions go it is perfectly adequate, containing pretty much all...

Review of No-Ad Sun Block Lotion

Sun protection at its best!

Advantages: Excellant protection and only one coverage needed
Disadvantages: Sticky at first

...with a friend and I shall be taking this with me. Although it is quite expensive at about £9.95 for a small bottle and £19.95 for a larger bottle it does last and is well worth it considering it actually works and doesn?t need to be reapplied even when going in the pool. You are going to be better protected with this because most when using normal sun cream only put on about 20% or half the amount you should so they are not getting the proper protection. I have seen this in Wilkinsons, Home and Bargain and I think you can get it in Savers. I?m sure many other places sell it too. Take my word for it or read some of the other fantastic reviews of this product on here and go buy some!...
