I have a ds eldest who is redhead, who regardless of suncream still gets like pink around the side of temples and cheeks 
its not just one crappy brand as weve used different ones from Malibu, Soltan, Boots etc, always factor 50.
My youngest who has a very neutral skintone is always fine with the applications of suncream has only ever 'gone pink' around top arms and a bit onthe nose abroad. just a bit frustrating, i dont like the idea of people possibly thinking ive just not bothered putting suncream on.
