The Holy Grail of Sun Lotions/After-Sun?

5 replies

Right, well the title says it all really...

I want a sun lotion that is:

At least SPF 15
Absolutely and completely non greasy/oily on your skin
Absorbs really quickly
Won't leave a visible film on my skin
Is kind to sensitive skin
Is sweat proof (doesn't have to be waterproof, though)
Washes off easily

I need an After-Sun that is:
Very cooling and moisturising
Absorbs really quickly
Absolutely not sticky or greasy
Preferably unperfumed.

Does they actually exist?

DH picked me up a Hawaiian tropic sun cream the other week and it's lovely. I don't know if it's sweat proof as I do try to avoid sweating, being a lazy cow! Worth a look though because imo it fulfills your other criteria.

For after Sun, you could just buy an unperfumed body lotion and keep it in the fridge for extra cooling effect.

I really like Piz Buin. Its what many posh french middle aged ladies use and I trust them to know a thing or 2 about good quality products Grin

Avoid sprays. Unless you apply it very carefully and liberally, the results are patchy
