I was travelling for 18 months, and I found it really stopped me (very pale and freckly skin) from getting burnt in some very hot climates. One application lasts all day even if you're in and out of the water, so useful for being active. And as it's an oil, you can also apply to areas of the scalp which can get burnt. i know that they don't test on animals, but not sure how ethical the company is - might be worth investigating to stock on this website? it definitely gets the thumbs up from me http://www.irishbodycare.com I can really recommend a sun protection oil specially designed for fair skin and made in Ireland called ‘Parasol’.

I think worrying too much about getting a 'healthy glow' is a shame, and these worries contribute to a general state of inactivity in the UK - kids playing on their computers rather than being encouraged to play in the garden on a sunny day. Obviously one should be responsible though. Spending some time in Australia really emphasised to me how much more conscious people are of the sun out there, as they have been brought up to take care of their skin. I think looking into these natural sun care ranges are definitely the way forwards. They are competitively priced too, so I intend to invest before I head off on my holidays.
