As many of you know I've recently been to sunnier climes. 🌞 🍻
After recently using a 'conventional' sunscreen and having a reaction to it I thought I'd give these two a go. I'll admit I had some doubts about whether they would do the job in a hot country but I'm pleased to report they were both fantastic products.
The Attitude tinted face stick (£15.99) SPF 30 gave great protection without leaving me looking like Casper the Ghost. No sunburn on the nose or forehead which are obviously the main parts of the face to suffer. I used it several times a day over the week and I've still got loads left.
The Shade sunscreen SPF 25 (£12.75 for 100 ml) only has 4 ingredients, Shea butter, coconut oil, non-nano zinc oxide and beeswax. It does initially go on white but it does fade.
One tub lasted me almost a whole week and that was applying it throughout the day.
The only place I had some minor sunburn was in one small area that had simply been rubbed away from clothing on a walk. It is a little greasy and the sand does stick to it slightly but it wasn't enough of an issue to stop me using it. I just use a blusher brush to sweep off the sand.
I still developed a lovely tan on my upper body (my lower body doesn't tan that much anyway).
Both are classed as reef friendly so have no impact on the marine environment.
Would I use them again? Definitely.
Great value and effective products for those looking for a safer alternative to chemical sunscreens.
Both available in-store. 😁
