Has anybody got any tried and tested sun creams? I work outside a lot  (at a school) so want a good skin protector largely for my face and neck at the moment. 

I’m looking at Ultrasun. Thoughts??

  • Hi  

    I'd recommend you try a variety of sunscreens to see which one you like the best. I like SunSense Daily Face SPF50+ for my face and neck, as it has a tinted matte finish, and SunSense Ultra SPF50+ for the back of my hands. I find both easy to rub in and they don't leave me feeling sticky.

    The British Association of Dermatologists say "When choosing a sunscreen look for a high protection SPF (SPF 30 or more) to protect against UVB, and the UVA circle logo and/or 4 or 5 UVA stars to protect against UVA. Apply plenty of sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before going out in the sun, and reapply every two hours."

  • Not heard of that one I’ll look it up thanks x

  • Hi, I've ended up with a Vitamin C moisturiser from Avon which is just for my face really. The moisturising but has helped my poor out in all weather gardeners skin!   Otherwise I use general all purpose spf50 for all other body areas.  Although small the Avon one is  light and non-greasy and one tube lasted my face all last summer.
