Suncream - how much do you take?

As above, how many bottles of suncream would you take for a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 mid teens) for 17 days in October?

We tend to buy it out there and usually get the Banana boat spray. Last few times we’ve just used a little more than one can in a fortnight but we don’t sit out in the sun much so maybe use less than most.

Edited to add - family of four usually

Oh my word, one can?! We probably use one can every couple of days! But then we’re being lazy around the pool so I guess we’d need more than if we were keeping busy

Bubba - we took a couple of open bottles to keep us going until we could stock up. We probably bought around 8 aerosol bottles in all, picked them up in Aldi of all places as we like their stuff at home

We probably don’t apply as often as we should tbh- also we buy factor 110 and hence don’t tend to burn. Also I’m talking big cans, not the size they sell in the parks - about twice that size. DH spends most of his time in the water when at the pool or seeking shade when we are out.

We always take too much. Family of four, I like boots own. We take normally 4-5 bottles and one large after sun. We always bring back 2-3 bottles, but better safe then sorry with sun lotion.

Gosh, we're in Greece at the moment and have used 3 bottles in our first week! I slather the children before we leave the apartment and then reapply at lunchtime.

We always buy it out there. Three of us went through 2 small cans and started a third.

Unfortunately most of us use far less than we need to get the factor on the bottle. So even if you apply the highest factor but don’t apply enough, you will get the protection of a much lower factor.

We take 200ml each based on the fact that most of the time we are not lying in the sun and have less skin exposed 🙂
