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? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

The Nivea for Children seems to work well on us all, it's quite thick, but not really greasy. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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! ------------- Andie |

I love the Nivea kids one, I don't have the spray one I have the cream. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

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). ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

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)  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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. ------------- Mum to Natasha Aroha 9/12/1995, Alexandra Makareta Waimarie 22/4/1998 and....Alyssa Frances Hopaea 18/03/2007
