Sun tan lotion

[Marguerite02]

I am really pale and always wear sun tan lotion, but i've heard about this stuff you just apply once and you're o.k. Does it exist? And if it does, isn't it really harmful?

I've never heard of it before Marguerite02 but i'm gonna check back here cos I'm also really pale and would love it if this did exist!

there is a clear liquid lotion called p20 which is �10- �20 (depending on size) & you put it on once in the morning & dont need to re-apply all day & is water resistant.
i dont beleive you can get anything you can just apply once & never use anything again (is that what you meant?) as sun protection acts as a filter on the skin & would come off when you shower.

It is P20 you're thinking of. You do need to apply it about 2 hours before you go out in the sun. It's used by sportsmen and women who spend all day in the sun (climbers, surfers, long distance runners etc.). You will still catch the sun but you won't burn.

I'm very pale and I used it on holiday and it was great!

Is it like ordinary sun-tan stuff that leaves you feeling like fly paper, or does it absorb and you don't notice it?

I used it a few years back - it is clear and more oil-like than cream-like!
We found it brilliant when visiting water parks on holidays

You don't notice it. It's the consistency of water and you simply rub it all over. Then occupy yourself with a crossword or tv.... *dum di dum di dum*.... HEY PRESTO! 2 hours later you can head out in the sun. Easy peasy!

No staining on clothes. No residue. No sticky feeling.
