Your choice, however:

The British Association of Dermatology (BAD) says that an SPF between 15 and 30 will suit most people and will provide a good level of UV protection if applied adequately.

There are products, such as P60, that advertise themselves as offering all-day protection if applied first thing in the morning. But a spokesperson for the BAD says "Most dermatologists agree that sunscreens with an SPF of above 30 don't offer a great deal of additional protection to those of SPF 30, and can be harder to apply and more expensive."

Interesting thank you Nibble
Tis could be one for you, but it's pricey http://www.google.co....nyBg&ved=0CFIQ8wIwAQ#
I always used to use P60 when I holidayed in Greece. I applied it as soon as I got up, before breakfast, then by the time I was out and about it had reached it's full effectiveness. It's far better than having to remember to re-apply and I always got a great even tan. The only time I ever burnt when using P60 was when the area around my 'belly button' burnt! This was because I applied that area when sitting down so didn't put any lotion inside.
If you are the sort of person who can't be bothered to take plenty of time to apply your lotion and are prone to 'leave out' patches then this isn't for you. Because it is only applied once a day you must ensure that every bit of exposed skin is covered. If you do tend to leave out patches then ordinary cream is best because if you miss a bit one time you will probably cover it when you next apply.

Thanks guys my other concern with the once a day is will they still be effective after swimming
P60 is, yes.
We use P60 because once it is dry, you cannot feel it on the skin, and my husband loathes the feeling of creams etc when he is out in the sun. It has always given very good protection but we do not go in the water, so not too sure about how it would work if you did.
I use P60 and as someone who burns quite easily I find it to be excellent. It does however stain your clothes.............
Yes Craft is right there. That's why I apply 1st thing before getting dressed; quite fun as my OH and me ensure that there's no bits missed! ;-)
My husband and I now use it and have found it great. I do not like the smell of it however but it is worth now getting burnt and haveing to carry creams and lotions around with you all day.
I'm guessing its a similar thing but I use Riemann's P20 once a day and it has revolutionised my holidays!!!
It's called P20, by Riemann, available from most good retailers (e.g. Boots), very expensive, around £30 per 200ml but you don't use much and it really does work brilliantly - tan also seems to last a lot longer!
