How high a SPF do you use?

Hi Mellymom! Have you a favourite spray? I am still on a quest to find that holy grail...

Sports sunscreen is the best for me. I have been using sunscreen SPF30 whenever I go to the mall, doing some grocery shopping and driving but if I'm going to do some sports I usually use sunscreen with SPF50. I love spray sunscreen because it is easy to apply and re-apply.

Thanks, Merry, I'll be sure to check it out!

Hi Dese,

I'm no kind of expert, but Garnier Ambre Solaire UV Protection for Sun Intolerant Skin (SPF 50+)is a good spray.

Good luck with finding a spray that suits you :silly:

I never thought about that as a possibility, Merry. It's an interesting consideration. Any suggestions for me on the other thread, as you obviously are a veteran with SPF?

Hi guys,

I have to protect my skin and use a high factor sun lotion. Unfortunately, I ended up with a vitamin D deficiency, so I've just had to find a balance.

Boughey, I have digressed from your topic in another thread about spray SPF 50s, please let me know if you have any suggestions!

Well as my last few Elemis consultations have exposed me to "the signs of aging" I'm not sure I've been doing enough either

I burn quite easily too. As soon as I feel my skin heating up, I run and hide. It's a shame. If I know I will be exposed to the sun for some time I use SPF 30+. I have only just recently invested in SPF 50 having listened to a doctor who specialises in anti ageing techniques talk about how we should defend our skin. She said to use SPF 50, even in the winter, and reapply it regularly (I think every two hours). It is clear I haven't been doing enough...

I can get burned in minutes and even in the winter through clothing so I use 50+ With all of the cycling I do this means that I can feel very greasey and quite frankly I end up covered in dust and bugs stuck to the sun cream :sick: BUT... it's that or not going out. The worst thing for me is that I spend hours outside in the sun and only ever look a slightly mucky grey rather than ever getting a tan
