[PrincessLola]

Iv got quite sensitive skin mainly my hands and face. Can be prone to getting prickly heat too When is the best time to trial sunscreen before the holiday?2 weeks before? Any recommendations would be appreciated

Try anything now while you've got time to see what happens.
Our kids have sensitive skin both being red heads so we tried Banana Boat from boots and it was great. It might seem dear in Boots at about £12 a bottle but you can pick it up in Walmart for a fraction of the cost, have a look here walmart/browse/skin-c...ineresult=true the spray ones are ideal to carry round with you in the parks for a quick refresh application.
Nearly forgot, if you're going to DC they supply a small amount of Panama Jack for you to use as this is dolphin friendly.

Try Piz Buin Allergy works great for DH he suffers with prickly heat but this cream reaaly works you can buy it at most chemists

we had to go through many different types of sun cream before finding one that suited our DS - finally found Ultra Sun and Sunsense are the ones that don't cause him any problems.

I would start trying them as soon as you can as you may have try several different ones before you find the right one for you and also allow enough time for any reactions to settle before moving onto the next sun cream.

Good luck, we found it a long process but worth it now that we know what we can safely use - our holiday last year was much improved as DS wasn't suffering any reactions (except after Discovery Cove - their sun cream didn't agree with him at all).

Ultrasound and sun sense for my allergy prone son. Just put one on each shoulder (remember which is which) a few weeks before we left. I obviously left out the daily antihistamines! My GP then prescribed sun sense.
