 Topic: Can anyone recommend a good sunscreen
Posted: 27 January 2008 at 8:11pm |

I have been using the cancer society spf 30 but its just not working on me! We went to the beach yesterday and I was absolutely covered in the stuff (2nd degree burns just before Christmas - another story) but I am burnt to a crisp again! We were at the beach for about 3 hours, I went for 1 swim but wasn't under the water much due to having to hold onto DD. At first I thought maybe sunscreen goes off and it had expired. But no because DD was also lathered and is perfectly fine! So I guess its just me.
Any ideas for a good one that is going to stop me burning?

Maya's preschool use the NoAd stuff, it seems to work really well. My grandmother said she saw a sunscreen review on TV and the Cancer Society one surprisingly didn't score very well.

The Nivea for Children seems to work well on us all, it's quite thick, but not really greasy.

The Barnados one (in the green container) isn't working too well on Ella. I hear only good things about the No-Ad ones though - I've really got to get me some of that stuff!

I use the Nivea one too. I use the cream as I like it nice and thick but DH uses the spray. Neither of us have been burnt for over 4 years. Elle uses the one in the pink spray bottle (forgotten the name) and she has never been burnt.
I get burnt using the cancer society one too (well I did when I tried it years ago).

I did look at the supermarket yesterday and saw a Piz Buin one for about $20 (and kind of went  ) but I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and get it. My shoulders are killing me (and I do have to wear a bra today - hmmmm...braless at work...tempting but alas, no)

I have found the sunsense one is pretty good, I am a person that burns easily and I have been using that all summer and not got burnt once.

Natasha has to have really good sun protection because of her illness and the Dr's at starship recommend using a sunscreen with a high percentage of Titanium Dioxide she uses Hamilton Sensitive for Hypo-Sensitive skin.
But we have now started using the Neutrogena ultra sheer on her face because it comes in an SPF 70.
Remember to put it on 15-20min before sun exposure and reapply every few hours.
