Are you brand loyal with suncream?

Do you match your after sun too

Hawaiian Tropic for me. I just love the coconut smell. On my face, I now use Beauty of Joseon factor 50 (thanks to a MN recommendation), but for my body it's HT all the way.

Nivea Kids SPF 50 in a spray bottle. The first time I used something different in 17 years I reacted to it and burnt to smithereens.

For my son, yes. Lots of brands bring him out in a rash so we stick to the two we know are fine. I’ll happily buy any old brand for my husband and I though. Usually a much cheaper one.

I used to use Nivea but I think I am aergic to some ingredient in it.
My friend found the same.
I have never had a problem with Boots Soltan and I love the scent.
I am outdoors a lot and was using La Roche Posay Factor 50 on my hands but it leaves a white cast on my hands- the cream doesn’t disappear which is probably a good thing but doesn’t look nice.

Ultrasun mainly, because some of the others bring me out in a rash. Luckily I don't spend huge amounts of time outdoors apart from early/late in the day and am a shade lover because it's expensive but it goes a long way. If I have to use anything else I get the kids versions as they are unfragranced, it's likely to be fragrance that causes the rashes. I dislike the smell of many of them too especially Nivea. DH prefers the aerosols but I do make him do it outdoors because of the cloud of droplets / oily floor thing mentioned earlier. He never gets burned because he uses lots and rubs it over himself thoroughly.

After having a precancerous patch removed from my face, the dermatologist told me to use la roche posey or eurocthin (sp?) so I use those for my face.
I use a cheaper factor 50 Nivea oil one for the rest of my body as I love it glides on easily.

Always Soltan on 3 for 2.
The smell reminds me of my childhood.

It was always nivea for me because it smelled like summer, but this year I discovered Korean Suncream and it feels amazingly light. No going back

I use Altruist factor 30 on my face and body. I never burn despite being very fair skinned.

After sun is basically body lotion so I don't buy it.

Though it does kind of scuff up if I put any make up on. Anyone know one which doesn't?

I've used Lancaster for the last couple of years. It is disgustingly expensive but I absolutely hate the feel of regular suncream. Especially when putting on suncream and then getting dressed, for example if you're going sightseeing but still need suncream on. This is really lightweight and absorbs instantly without that sticky feeling. I use their specific lightweight face suncream and then the regular for my body. I don't use their aftersun as just usual my usual moisturiser.

Poor DD and DH get saddled with whatever is cheapest in the shops though 😂

I use Aldi’s own factor 30. Find it is fine. Gave up on Nivea a couple of years ago.
Back in the seventies I used to buy coconut oil from the chemist. How I didn’t fry I will never know. I do tan easily.

Yes, Nivea Sun products for all of us. When the kids were young, I used Ultrasun.

For aftersun, I keep a tube of Aloe Vera gel from the Body Shop in the fridge.

I love Lancaster sun cream and after sun but it’s definitely a pre-holiday airport luxury.

I only have to smell Boots Soltan and I’m transported back to Magaluf in 1990. 😎

Vichy on face and calypso once a day on body

Piz buin sadly here. I absolutely hate that it's Johnstone & Johnstone but it's the one that works better for us.

Only for my face, ultra violet or supergoop.
I do usually pick up a sunbum for the teen because he absolutely hates the process of putting on suncream but honestly for the rest of the family just pick up the nearest bottle to me in the shop, no one has expressed a preference.

I swear by Rieman p20. Application in the morning it lasts all day and in the sea too. If it's really hot reapply to shoulder and chest area. After sun I just use molten brown body lotion

Yes Ultrasun all the way. Very sun sensitive and it works for me.

No, I have a few I prefer though, so I largely use fromrier sun ampole, numbuzin and iunik sun water. I have very sensitive skin, so I do have to be careful about using something new.

There are very few sun creams I can use without risking a serious allergic reaction. Most are not available casually or cheaply. Loyal is not quite the right word. hostage to whatever price and hoops they want to set might be more accurate.

heaven forbid I run out or lose my bottle. I can’t just buy more.

LRP for my face, was recommended it by the dr who treated my skin cancer and whatever is on offer for my body. My budget only covers loyalty of the face 😂

Sort of. Redhead so need copious amounts which usually means Aldi/lidl for body
face wise I always go for a Korean brand as they’re more elegant formulas

I've just discovered this,it's amazing stuff.

Piz Buin. Ultrasun. Anything on special offer, part of a beauty box or AC I’ll give it a try.
