I've never been overseas before.
Going to Greece in 2 days with 2 little DC.
Easyjet.
We are taking cabin luggage only.
100mls restriction for any lotions.
I am really worried about sunscreen for DC.
What do people do?? I00mls sunscreen wont last 2 weeks for both DC, as I'm planning on smothering them in it every couple of hours and every time they get out of sea.
I've been told it's twice the price or poor quality to buy in Crete.
Can i buy it at Gatwick or will they ban me from taking it on the plane?

You can buy it once you've gone through security - so you can get a full one/two bottles at the Boots at the airport and it'll be fine. Might be slightly more expensive in there :)

Sun cream is widely available overseas, including brands that you see in the UK.
