Ultrasun, Ultra Fab x
There are some things that summer cannot survive without..and a brilliant sun screen must top the list. Ultrasun in my book is the gold medal winner. It doesn’t look much..the packaging is awful, but how many ways can I sing it’s praises?
1. It’s a ‘once a day’ formula so it goes on first thing..and then you don’t need to think about it again.
2. There’s no smell – I’ve tried other ‘once a day’ products and the chemicals have made my eyes water. This doesn’t.
3. You put it on before you put on your swimwear..which means if that bikini bum rides up, there’s no chance of an angry red smile, for you or the kids. (Or the husband if budgie smugglers are his thong thing..)
4. Anyone who has ever put sun screen on children will know..once a day to chase down those slippery suckers is a blessing from the heavens.
5. Ever suffered from the horror of heat rash? I do…but not when I use this.
6. I even use it in winter..sits brilliantly under foundation..even makes the foundation easier to apply…
7. Means I can take a red head to the Mediterranean…Bella has never, ever burnt.
8. You still go brown…Charlie was native coloured by the time he came home. Bella was a golden brown..we were that lovely brown that means you’ve been away..but the bath’s not left with a tidal mark after every wash..
It’s just easy, effortless…safe. It’s not the cheapest…but sometimes, just sometimes it’s worth buying the best.

Thanks for the hint. I will look for it in Germany.
It’s Swiss made so you should be in luck… xxx
Is this what I’ve been looking for all my life? I’m checking where I can buy it right NOW! xxx
It’s the best I’ve ever found..I think Amazon sell it xxx
I probably can’t get this in the US but it does sound perfect!
I like the fact I don’t even need to think about sun lotion again – it’s the first thing that goes into my suitcase..try Amazon – I know the European site sells it,although it does sell out fast xxx
Can you feel it on your skin? You know how some products don’t ever want you to forget that you’ve got it on?
No..although this was the glimmer formula that I bought without thinking – you can get it in Waitrose, and if I see it..I buy straight away otherwise it all goes! So the glimmer was a bit of a shock – but it’s pretty subtle rather than 1970’s disco! xxx
I love glimmer. The more glimmer the better!
Do they do any higher factors?
Yes! I took this at the end of the holiday when we’d all moved down from 30 to 20..but they go up to 50 and have various sports options as well.. xxx
Anything less than 40 on me and you might as well just incinerate me on the spot.
They sell it in Waitrose..although it goes fast! I think you are paler than Bella!! xxx
SPF 20 doesn’t cut it downunder, I am afraid – but, will look out for it. kx
They have higher factors..I love the fact it works all year round and always have a bottle in my cupboard xxx
what about in the eyes?
Looking back, hasn’t been a problem…I think because it dries and seeps in. Even in and out of pools/sea was never a problem. It feels very mild..but genuinely works xxx
I’m so impressed that Bella has never burned! Good for you, and for her.
