Is there such thing as a dry suncream or are they all greasy? I hate lathering up on holiday then struggling to get my string vest and Speedos on because it's stuck to my skin. I can't remember the brand we used last year but it was horrible, and it was expensive! So before I go and order a pallet full for the family hols... has anyone found a NON-GREASY / STICKY cream or lotion they can recommend. Happy to pay lots of £££ for a good one biggrin

Thanks

I recommend this stuff, only needs to be applied once a day. Its a lotion rather than a cream.

I quite like the Boots branded Soltan, Invisible and / or Dry Touch sprays.

Never got on with sprays the best lotion we have found is Ambre Solaire Light and Silky. Much runnier consistency and soaks in well.

Tried Nivea and Piz Buin in the past thick and oily - rubbish.

Yes it is, providing you like yellow or pink stains on your clothes. A known problem with this product.

P20 is good. But can stain clothes if you're not careful. The Ultrasun range is also worth a look. Similar to p20 but some of the range is less greasy.

I hate wearing sunscreen but I discovered this stuff in Miami and it's excellent. Spray on like a deodorant, no rubbing in, no mess, fantastic stuff although a little pricey.

Can you get Oasis Sun in the UK?

I absolutely hate greasy sun screen, this is the only thing I have found that is actually pleasant to up on, and you dont need much of it either (locally produced here in NZ). I was utterly blown away with it
