My eldest is hyper sensitive too. The doctor prescribed Sun Sense & she's fine with that. I tend to just buy it over the counter now rather that claiming it on prescription which feels a bit unfair really (as I'd be buying some type for her anyway).


You can get it from the chemist on Northcross Rd in huge pump action bottles or as a roll on which the kids like.


There is a brand Health Matters sell that is good too but expensive & I can't recall the make sorry.

We have had success with the new Ambre Solaire SPF 50 spray so far this summer. No unusual reactions (just aside from heat rash which has nothing to do with the cream) and only a tiny little bit of red eyes yesterday after an hour playing in the water jets which made the cream run into his eyes. All in all very happy with this one.

We've used Nivea 50+ Kids Pure & Sensitive today. 4* UVA and good so far. Thanks BB100!

In my search I've learnt a lot....!

1 Green People's UVA is around 3*. They apparently can't currently get higher naturally. Their highest SPF is 25 so UVA is above the EU minimum but not by much (and on a lower SPF)

2 SPF blocks a percentage of UVB in the equation 1-1/SPF. So factor 15 blocks 1-1/15=93% of UVB rays

3 UPF in clothes works the same as SPF but applies to all UV rays. Eg a UPF of 50 blocks 1-1/50 or 98% of UVA and UVB.

That helped my understanding of a few things so thought I'd share it in case it helped others. The UVA star system is utterly confusing (or maybe I've had too many babies!)

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
