Sun Cream, Spray or once a day

What is best in everyone鈥檚 opinion?





Sun cream which is messy and a nightmare if you are remotely hairy





Sun spray that makes you smell of coconuts but no mess





Or





once a day sun filter which is oily, stains, takes an hour and a half to work and costs a fortune but as it says, it is once a day.





Opinions greatly appreciated



Sun Cream, Spray or once a day


I usually use Bullfrog brand. It%26#39;s made for people who do watersprts and is really good. It comes in cream, gel or gel spray as well as a stick. But you%26#39;ll have to wait till FL to buy it as it is sold only in the USA. I stock up at Walmart etc.





There%26#39;s the P20, brand but I haven%26#39;t tried it.



Sun Cream, Spray or once a day


No mess sun spray. Better to smell of coconuts then to be oily and full of stains. Give a little spritz ( reaply ) every few hours. The sprays work very well with kids who may not be able to stand still long enough for you to completely cover them in creams and goop.




P20 every time. Put it on in the morning, that%26#39;s it for the day. Ideal for snorkrlling etc. However this does not give full protection as sun %26#39;blocks%26#39; do. You do not get burnt though. It%26#39;s expensive but lasts for ages. Cheaper abroad, especially spain etc.




Piz Brun do an all day sun cream not only does it smell nice but it is is not oily either





I have used this many times with no problems at all




Try Coppertone continuous spray in a can. It goes on clear and smells like all Coppertone products. Not like coconut.




What%26#39;s wrong with smelling like a coconut? I like coconuts and the smell reminds me of Florida, just as bug spray scent does.





If I feel down and depressed when I have returned, I always sniff a coconut and close my eyes.




I use the Neutrogena spray and it works wonderfully-but you need to reapply any sunblock several times a day since it wears off with swimming and perspiration.




My daughter and I burn easily so I bought the P20 a couple of years ago when we went to Egypt.





Wouldn%26#39;t be without it now. We both came back with wonderful tans.





When my daughter is playing in the pools , I put some spray cream on her as well, just to be sure.







Last year in Florida is was great as I didn%26#39;t have to carry sun cream around with me. You put it on first thing in the morning and forget about it.




P20 is excellent but just be sure to cover all of your exposed skin. I used it a few years ago all over and thought it had dryed in. I then put my socks and trainers on and headed to the beach. Unfortunately it had not dryed in and basically rubbed off onto my socks and I got a sever case of sunburn on my feet!!!!! Couldnt walk for 2 weeks, that was fun! It is so easy to miss a patch of skin.





Piz bun all day is also excellent and does not smell or discolour clothes. It is also great for the kids as they spend all day in a pool and rub the normal cream off.



To be sure if you have light skin use Piz bun in the morning and top it up in the afternoon with a non oily type cream such as coppertone.This should gaurante your holiday is not wrecked by a bad case of sunburn




reapply, reapply, reapply
