Avene Ultra High Protection Spray 50 plus
At first I really liked this but I don't think I would repurchase. Protection is excellent, I swaer there is no danger of even a hint of a tan when you are wearing this!! Has a slightly thick consistency and yes is does leave a bit of a white cast, it also feels slightly heavier than other sunscreens. I could feel I had it on. What really annoyed me was the spray bottle, because of the consistency of the sunscreen it seemed to clog the spray so only a trickle would come out and then once you have furiously sprayed away you end up with a huge spurt, very annoying when you are rushing from car to beach and don't want to burn!! On saying that is the bottle and white cast a small price to pay for knowing you are protected from the sun rays. It proved well against the summer Florida Miday sun on my very fair skin.
Avene-Eau Thermale Spray SPF 40
I prefered this to the SPF 50+ as the consistency is just that bit thinner. Packaging is annoying I think that the Sunscreen may actually clog the spray a little because when you spray you get 4 trickles then on fifth attempt a good spurt then it starts over again!!! So annoying. Protection was excellent, I didn't burn in the Florida midday sun and I have very fair skin that always burns before I tan ever so slightly. I liked this one for use on my face, I have oily skin and had no problems with this, skin does feel a little tacky, it would be a problem if I was using daily but for holidays and the British Summer it is ideal. Even for the annoying bottle, I would definately repurchase alongside the Nivea Spray Sunscreen.
Nivia Moisturising Sun Spry SPF30
This is one of the best sunscreens I have used. I initially purchased Avene for a trip to Florida but at the last minute decided I would need more sunscreen and bought the Nivia. I actually prefered the Nivia to the Avene!!! Comes in Blue spray bottle with yellow lid, the spray is excellent!! Don't you hate it when you to try to spray sunscreen and only a trickle comes out, well this does not happen with the Nivia (it does with the Avene), You get a good even spray and the consistency is perfect not too thinck and not too runny. The sunscreen does not leave a white cast and rubs in really well. It was a little too oily to use on my face but on my body it was perfect, think just shaved legs with oily moisturiser look....looks quite sexy when sunbathing in bikini by pool!!. In the Florida sun, on my very fair skin, I used my Avene the first week and the Nivia the second because I beacme so frustrated with the crap Avene spray bottle and did not burn once. Well worth the money and in the summer there are always buy one, get one free offers on Nivea in Boots, Tesco, Superdrug, Asda....
