SUN CREAM

[angeldelight]

Just out of interest :laughing:

Do you buy a well known brand or a cheaper one?

Do you wait till its on offer to get a good deal?

How much would you pay for it - some in boots for example are really expensive

I buy a well known brand because I use it on all my mindees as well as family and the parents have all tried it so I know there are no allergies.

I usually get it on offer.

I buy the Ambre Solaire for Rose and Alfie and use it on the mindees if they don't bring any which is factor 50+, i use Ambre Solaire factor 6:laughing:

I usually buy it from boots (collect points) when it's on offer, although i think i got mine from asda as it was cheaper.

this year I can't remember which brand i used last year for my son, so far I have bought nivea and ambre solar both of which flare up his excema,, somone suggested boots own soltan so off to get some of that later,, as for my daughter I just buy whatevers on offer,,, the mindees bring their own and I wont use mine on them incase of allergys + its too expensive

Ambre Solaire, I used to get Nivea but the star rating is not as good,

I also have a non chemical one but cant think what its called

[Dragonfly]

There is a non chemical one I believe its Banana Boat? I no its a unusually name.

[mama2three]

I usually get the clear protect ones , good for dhs thinning hair:laughing: - and avoids those annoying stains! On offer in asda usually!
Mindee has sun sense factor 50 toddler milk - i think mum gets it off the internet - its the only one that doesnt make his excema flare up.

[FussyElmo]

I buy the supermarket own brands - but I dont have children with allergies etc. Mindee who is very fair her mum sends ambre solaire when she remembers but if she doesnt go goes the supermaket stuff not been burnt yet :)

[sweets]

I buy a supermarket brand own but not the value range ones.

i have factor 50 for the children which i use when we are out and about, i use their own when at home but refuse to take 3 or 4 bottles out with me!

i usually get a factor 20 ish for me and again usually own brand stuff but this year i bought myself a clear ambra solaire one as ruined so many t shirts last year with stains!

[PixiePetal]

I buy any that are on offer :blush:

I give parents the chance to bring their own or use what I have - no allergies so usually take me up on the offer which suits me as only 1 bottle to carry about :thumbsup:

factor 50. DD uses it too as she burns easily even if she trys to avoid sun :rolleyes:

Normally buy Soltan cos get staff discount at Boots

[The Juggler]

boots essentials brand - under 3 pounds per bottle and they do a fragrance free one too.:thumbsup:

[louise]

I use Superdrugs own brand. It was buy one get two free a while ago and I have used it for years. I use to use it for ds but now he has Amber solier on prescription due to him having Actinic prurigo. We we're told by the specialist in London that Soltan is also good as they have a high star rating and I'm guessing as he mentioned it out of all the others that they may have done some trial on it. Just wish they didn't stain so much.

[caz3007]

I read an article in a magazine that said own brands were just as good as any. So thats what we buy and never been burnt using them. Last year we had Tesco Value but this year we have Lidls and Wilkinsons

[Stormy]

I usually buy brands but when they are on special offer, using Loreal solar expertise at the moment. Either factor 50 or 40.
The children usually have their own, but have signed permission forms for me to use my own if they forget.
The sensitive skin child has an organic lavender one from the health food shop.

[onceinabluemoon]

My chemical free one is called Lavera , its factor 20, 100% mineral based, water resistant and effective immediately.
