Ever since I was young, my mum instilled in me the importance of wearing sun cream, I even used to take a little sun-screen stick to school in case I was sitting out on the school fields in the sun! I do have very pale skin so do burn quite easily, and consequently have to wear a high SPF, usually 40+. Now I'm a mum myself, I am equally cautious at keeping Harry's skin protected from the harmful sun, even though he has a naturally darker skin than me and doesn't burn (lucky for him!). When we went to Mauritius last year, I used factor 50 protection on all 3 of us because the sun was so intense, I could almost feel my skin burning when we we sitting on the ...  Read the complete review

I am a child of Ireland... in other words I'm as pale as they come and not made for hot climates. I recently took a holiday in Tunisia, this being north Africa and my first summer holiday in many a year I knew I needed some tip top protection from my enemy the sun! Off I trotted to the shop and browsed the sun protection options when I came across this new phenomenon - 'Clear Protect'.

It has a clear strip down the front left hand side to enable you to see how much you have got left. The information on the front tells us the brand, product name, SPF rating, and makes the claims that it is 100% transparent, leaves no white marks, has a cooling ...  Read the complete review

I have typically English skin, pale and freckly with a hint of pink. I used to go on at least 2 summer holidays in a year and always managed to get a glowing tan. My skin seems to have changed over the years and whenever it sees the sun it turns in to an ugly burnt mess. I used to hate using the high factor creams as they were always really thick, white and sticky and attracted everything from sand to muck to hairs. Then I used this product and it was great. It soaked in instantly and after a while I forgot that I had it on. It was hard to imagine that something so quick and easy to apply would prevent me from burning, but it ...  Read the complete review
