Piz Buin wet skin transparent sun spray

It may seem a little early to be talking about sunscreen, but now that the sun's finally come out, I can't stop thinking about beaches and summer holidays! Since travelling around Australia, Piz Buin have been my brand of choice and this year, they're launching a brand new wet skin transparent sun spray:

Wet skin transparent sun spray really struck a cord with me, as the only time I burnt was when I didn't reapply sunscreen straight after snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef. As a result, I was left with sore red shoulder and let me tell you that was not fun!

Thankfully, Piz Buin have recognised that we're often reluctant to reapply straight after going for a swim, and as a result they've developed a new lightweight sun screen. Unlike traditional creams this can cut through water and offer immediate UVA and UVB protection. It's got antioxidant vitamin E for extra free radical protection too.

The spray comes in a choice of SPF15 and 30, and I'd describe the texture as similar to that of a dry body oil. Sunscreens have come a long way in recent years, and this one pretty much sunk into my skin straight away. It leaves behind a light sheen, but no greasy after feel. And as for the smell, well let's just say if I close my eyes I could easily be on a beach somewhere warm and sunny on the east coast of Australia!

Piz Buin transparent sun spray retails for £17.99, but do keep an eye out for the Boots 2 for 1 offer.
