Now that we know better, we can do better. Protection is now the name of the game. So what am I talking about - sunscreen. It’s so often over looked but has now become one of the most important things we should do as part of our everyday life.

I am one of the generation who use to lie out in the sun and bake myself. I was renowned for my ability to get a tan in just two days at the start of summer. That was before we knew how bad the sun was and how much we would pay later on in life for that fabulous tan. Lets face it brown skin always looks so much better than white. Oh, if only we knew back then what we know now!

They all make such big promises and so often just don’t deliver. The sunscreen we took to Fiji is no exception. Sun Sense Sport Milk SPF 30+ with a 4 hour water resistance and UVA & UVB protection. It is absolutely useless, it didn’t work at all and we all actually got burnt while using it. I was so disappointed when I realised at the end of the day that both of my daughters were sunburned, even after following the instructions very carefully. I had bought the Sport Milk especially because I knew the girls were going to be in the pool all day. We applied the sunscreen at about 8.30am in the morning. We then reapplied just before the 4 hours was up in the middle of the day. At the end of the day after all that effort they where quite sun burnt. Yes it was non greasy as they claim and yes was suitable for children but did it protect them? Well that would be a big NO.

So I definitely wouldn’t waste your money on this sunscreen this summer. They claim they are innovators in sunscreen technology, maybe they need to go back to the drawing board with this one.

We reverted to an old favorite and had no problems for the rest of the holiday. Stay tuned for the review of that in the future.
