I was looking at suncream today and totally overwhelmed about which to buy.

Family of 4 (7&10) going to Portugal this month. Fair skin.
There were sprays , creams , invisible sprays, insect protection , non-insect etc etc
And about 6 different brands.

Please can someone buy for me ....

M&S sell Ultrasun so you can often pick it up when they do one of their 20% off weekends.

I've found my Holy Grail sunscreen. It is Malibu SPF50 Dry Oil Spray. It really is dry. I can't see it or feel it on my skin. It isn't heavy or greasy or sticky or shiny or pore-clogging.

It just works. And it was about £4 on Amazon.

It does have a strong coconut smell that might not be to everyone's taste but that's the only downside I've found.

Choose one with a high star rating, 5 is the best .

Calypso once a day. Amazing stuff and only a fiver from Aldi (and various other places). Used it on whole family, including 17 months old, on recent holiday to Egypt, where it was 37 most days. Apply once in the morning and forget for the rest of the day. Better than p20 as it doesn't stain clothes.

Welsh is it very non greasy?

It's weird,it's like a clear liquid that seems to evaporate on the skin. It's brilliant for ds and she who hate the feel of suncream.

Yep not greasy at all. Honestly, it's amazing stuff. P20 changed my life but I did get annoyed with the yellow stains, this solves the issue!
