A suncream FOR THE LOVE OF GOD that is unsticky.

We are on holiday. We have sun creams from 3
different companies (standard wander into Boots, factor 50) that claim to be unsticky but that is a LIE a disgraceful, dishonest, outrageous lie.

Sand was stuck upon my décolletage and I had the heeby-jeebies all the live long day.

Urgh and the splayed toes xlevel-eleven.

is there a factor 50 sun cream that repels sand and that hideous tacky stickiness?

Its this or wear some sort of shroud on the beach.

Just popping my head up to say 'Robin of Sherwood' was an amazing show ('nothings forgotten'❤️)!! Ambre solait Glow (pump/ spray bottle) one seems pretty good at not being sticky. For face I've splurged on some Supergoop & that feels like silicone primer so def not sticky (both 30s not 50 though)

@MadEyeJudy It was an amazing show. God I loved it so much in the 80s, as did dh.

Rewatching it now is a bad idea. A terrible idea. I do not recommend. The acting is beyond awful. The only thing that remains excellent is Clannad’s music and Robin’s sexy mullet.

I usually use Nivea for children as I have really sensitive skin. I find it really good.

For the face I love Dr Sam Bunting factor 50. Doesn’t feel like I have anything on and I never burn. I also like REN but I started reacting to it.

Are sprays as effective as creams so?

I find them just as effective.

Coola spf spray, isn't sticky and smells lovely.

Ultrasun family is incredible, not sticky if allowed to sink in before sun exposure. The sport gel was shit, we all burnt with it! I also swear by Australian gold. Not sticky at all.

I’ve found my people! I thought it was only me who HATES the feeling of sticky suncream to the point of extensive research to solve this.

I second the Ambre Solaire ones, and Ultrasun.
