I was treated for cancer of the womb by having a full hysterectomy, in 2021 luckily I caught it early and needed no other treatments.

Im going to Spain in a few weeks time, this will be the first time abroad in 4 years. I do love the sun and obviously I want to protect myself as well as enjoy my holiday. I'm am on my own, and im worried about getting suncream coverage on my back, as I love walking on the beach. Has anyone got any ideas/suggestions for me please.

Hi Ladnad Garnier do aerosol sprays which make it easy to cover your own back. Their kids one is about £8 at boots and factor 50. Hope you have a lovely time!

Hi Ladnad. I've travelled solo a lot in the past and found the Back Bliss Applicator really good for applying sun protection to your back. It's available from Amazon.

Hi Ladnad.

Congrats on no further treatment needed and on booking a holiday. Souns like a lovely way to celebrate.

I'd suggest the sponge on solid arm - the ones for washing your back, available from most high street pharmacies. This should get suncream to the places harder to reach.

Have a lovely trip

Morning Ladnad a holiday sounds amazing i hope you have a fabulous time, as CrumpetsOrToast and other have mentioned some great ideas. I use the sponge on the long pole too for showering as well a sun cream application it looks really strange but actually works pretty well.
