Suncream - how much do you take?

Yes I think so. I also don't put sun cream on my face, I buy a moisturiser with a high SPF.

One or two top ups throughout the day. It’s easily done!

I was thinking it must be the spray cans, we use nivea cream (but a very runny cream so spreads easily) in the pump dispenser style bottle.

For this year I’ve bought a 400ml Ultrasun thinking that would do 2 of us for two weeks but then realised that was just 200ml each so bought a 150ml too. We’ll mainly do the parks with a bit of pool time so I feel like that should be enough?

the 400ml goes a long way, you should be good

we're taking a 400ml of sports 30+ and we have 50 for the kids (and most likely me. i also have face cream for this year. (got a really good bargain from QVC)

One of the reasons I’m switching to Ultrasun is that it’s lighter than other creams and I’ve noticed a little goes a long way so I think you’re probably right.

not only is it lighter it doesn't have that greasy after feel once it's on.

I used some lovely face cream this year, felt so much nicer. It came in the M&S beauty box offer. I think I had a Nivea one too

Ultimately you know your skin and your family. None of us burn and tan really easily so we tend to wear factor 15 and make sure our shoulders are covered for park days.

I know! I hate that feeling at the end of the day when you just want to wash off the sun cream! I’d rather pay the extra for something like Ultrasun.

We always buy there as we prefer the clear no-rub spray. The Walmart equate one works well for us and it’s only $7 for two cans. Between 5 of us we used 5 cans on a 3 week stay.

I buy it there, we like banana boat dry oil but last year got ski and ski dry oil in wall mart which was amazing and very cheap too.
We brought lots back ready for this years holiday .

I take the Avon Sensitive so I don't suffer with heat rash. Two F50 for hubby and two F30 for me plus their sensitive aftersun lotion.
