Suncream

I have a child with very fair skin and he hates wearing suncream. We’ve tried P20 but they turned his clothes yellow!!! He gets eczema occasionally and some brands irritate his skin. Any experiences of this or tips of which creams to try??

I guess you don't want to buy lots of different sun creams to try as they aren't cheap! Solero ultra sensitive is quite good! I think it's £7 a bottle. I hope you find the right one :)

I like Ambre Solaire - it's nice and light and sinks in well. I use the kids stuff myself because it's a bit cheaper and I have fair, sensitive skin. Lots of supermarkets and chemists run offers in the run up to holiday season, so keep your eyes peeled!

Have you got any friends or family with kids? You could ask to try their sun creams ... they are so expensive to buy and this may help stop you getting ones that aren’t good for your sons skin?

Mine used to hate putting sun cream on, they are better now they can put it on themselves and I just help with the bits they can’t reach. Also got them the rollerball one for school which they like.

I have used La Roche-Posay, I’ve no idea how to pronounce it!! It has been really good, but it’s really expensive. I might have to bite the bullet and get it again. I might give the spray-on one a try. He hates the rubbing in part of the process too!!!! And buy him a big hat lol!!!

Thanks for your help and if anyone else has any recommendation, let me know :-)
