Hi guys.

Off to the Pyranees soon for a week and I'm looking for some sunblock. I know plenty of people recomend P20, but given that it gives you no UVA protection, (i.e. you still go brown just don't burn), I can't see the point of it.

So any other recomendations?

I struggle to keep the suncream on my skin given that I sweat a lot, and will be when halling my body uphill.

Cheers,

    banana boat do great stuff altho the baby spf50 is the only one that comes in a tube than what i consider useless gimmick packaging of pump action bottled stuff.

    I love Ultrasun cream/liquid (can get it at Waitrose)
    Pricey but lasts all day and works exceptionally well, and UVA protection.
    Cheaper alternative = Boots Soltan Once factor 15 (the higher factors of this cream the are so thick you need a knife to spread it on). Only one application needed but is a bit more sticky.

    Forgot to say, don't get the clear liquid factor 20, it's great when you put it on but when your pores open up as you sweat it stings like a b**ch. Could be good for taking your mind off hill pain tho.....
