Sun cream for children with pale skin?

[Wee_Red]

Tesco's own brand - has a 5 star UVA rating and comes in a sensitive option.

We use the boots once cream on my daughter 9 who is very pale. It's really gloopy and thick so we slather her in it whilst she's naked and let her dry for a bit. It says 8 hour protection but we always top up along the way with a 50 spritzy one but I'm confident all the nooks and cranneys are done without clothes getting in the way.

Ultra sun works really well on my youngest who is very fair skinned. We all use it and never have any issues.

Ultrasun every time. I am very fair skinned & DH cant have fragrance on his skin & used to get prickly heat. Ultrasun Family is fragrance free & is for prickly heat suffers & it's a once a day one ( put in 15 to 30 mins Before going into the sun) top up if having swum. It's on the expensive side but worth every penny for us two. At present its £14.50 on Amazon, fir 150ml size. I recently bought two so know it's the cheapest place to buy at present. We use Factor 30 as 50 blocks pores & can 'cause prickly heat (my doctor said that)

Another advocate for Ultrasun here! I’m also trying Eucerin Sun Allergy factor 50 at the moment and it’s very good. I have very sensitive skin! Ultrasun also have an amazing gel after sun that I keep in the fridge. I use a Korean mineral sun cream on my face underneath makeup all year round 😊

Look at La Roche Posay.
It’s important that whatever you use has a high uva rating along with a high uvb rating. UVB is the important part as it stops burning. UVA stops skin ageing.

Fair skinned red heads and we use ultrasun great stuff and never burn with it and no reaction. Shop around online as they often have offers on.

My daughter is very fair skinned and we have always used Piz Buin. I can’t use any of the cheaper brands as they give me awful prickly heat. Piz Buin do a factor 50 once a day (I apply every couple of hours though) in a tube. It feels gloopy going on but absorbs straight into the skin and it feels like you are not even wearing cream. DD has never burned with that.

Both dd's are very pale, we've tried and tested lots over the years. Nivea/Tesco/Aldi/P20 etc or any cheapy brands weren't great. Boots(soltan), Ambre Solaire or Piz Buin never had an issue with and what we like for ease is Coppertone when we can stock up in Walmart

I've heard Ultrasun mentioned a lot but have never seen it in a store (we live in a corner of Ireland ) but will put it on my list of next to try, thanks.
