Does anyone else have problems which sun tan lotion to use, as I find they make such a mess of your clothes, particularly whites!!

Dear Amber560,

Probably because I have had a Kidney Transplant, in July 2013, I am Prescribed an Australian Sun Cream, called 'Sun Sense'. It is SPF50+ UVA & UVB Broad Spectrum Lotion. That's the technical stuff over with. It is easily applied, fairly non-greasy and not too sticky either. It comes in two sizes, a 50ml 'Roll On', and 150ml Bottle. I would recommend, this Product.

Maybe you can ask a 'Friendly' GP, Hospital Consultant or Doctor- well it's worth a try surely.

Best Wishes

Thankyou for your reply, but I can get sunsense on prescription, but found lt leaves so many stains on my clothes, perhaps I’m expecting too much to keep my clothes stain free.

I haven't found this, to be the case, Amber. Mind you I have to use a, very greasy, cream around my Backside (sorry). I therefore do use an 'Intensive' wash cycle, which can 'shift' almost anything.

I hope you find a solution, that works for you.

Kind Wishes
