Advantages: Sinks in, easily dispensed, useful bottle deisgn
Disadvantages: Can make makeup blotchy
This can be an expensive option when searching out your holiday protection but boy does it do a good job. Stock up if you see it on offer!
Firstly, this is a dry oil spray. The spray does not clog up and you get a good coverage with each burst. The spray nozzle is easy to press and even when the bottle is held upside down the product manages to spray effectively. The oil is very light and sinks into skin leaving it dry and oil-free. It has a lovely light scent but i can't think of any specific scent. It is not overpowering and wouldn't overpower any perfume.
The product is waterproof to a degree. when you go into water your skin can feel a bit slippy, this is the product acting as a shield. If you rub your skin in the water however I think the product washes off, and you would need to re-apply it. This is good practice anyway.
I have used this on my face and have not had any problems with blocked pores, greasy skin or anything like that. It can make your hair greasy but that's just me not bothering to pin it back!
The bottle is excellent because you can see when your product is running out, it is small and compact, and the dry oil dispenses really well. A bottle would last me a week on holiday.
One of the disadvantages of this spray is that if you do wear it on your face and you're wearing any kind of make up beneath it or on top, it will smudge/come off/go patchy. So if you want to wear makeup on holiday i would suggest getting a separate cream for your face - or high SPF make up.
Summary: Value for money, no mess sun spray
