Sun holidays for those of us who do not tan...

ChiefPotterer · 19/05/2019 20:59

I have never even had the merest hint of a tan. My skin burns and goes straight back to white, needless to say I wear factor 50, a big hat and seek shade wherever I go! Just wondering does anyone have any tips for holiday time, good non- greasy sunscreen? decent sun-hats? I also like to put on fake tan at night when on holiday as I hate wearing a dress with white legs hanging out the bottom any tips for one that is easy to put on and stays put in the heat? Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

P20 suncream has changed my life!

I've just bought asdas own cool most sun cream in factor 50. It's an aerosol, takes 2 minutes to fully dry and doesn't feel like anything on the skin. Also imagine it's really refreshing in the hot weather because it is very cold to spray on.

This stuff.

I do not tan. I stay pasty white or burn, no matter what I do. I work in an environment where it is not uncommon to meet up with work colleagues in a tropical place whilst wearing a bikini. The stuff above (Ultrasun tinted Factor 30) means I don't burn and I always look nicely tanned. I've had loads of compliments on my lovely colour. The only downside with it is it is very difficult to wash off (which is actually a bonus if you want a long lasting sun screen) and you end up with dodgy brown streaks on your white hotel towels.

I burn easily so use spf 50 & it's taken me years to find one I like - I use Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration, smells amazing & doesn't leave white streaks, or bobble in creases.
