Hi
When I last went to the Canaries there was a local company selling their sun tan lotions though they were rather expensive. I remember them saying that as the canaries are near to the Sahara the sun protection needed is different to that of mainland Spain etc.
Does anyone know what the truth is in this? We are going back to Tenerife in June. If I have a brand such as boots, Nivea etc and have a high SPF and a 4 of 5 uv rating will this be ok? I know they mentioned that the sales rep mentioned that prickly heat is very common and that some Suncare lotions can aggravate the problem.
I don't normally listen to sales pitches but as sun protection is so important i don't want to take any risks. I have quite sensitive skin and my daughter is only a toddler so really want to buy the right type of product.
Thanks xx
