Hi,
As in the title, can anyone recommend a good sun protection lotion that comes in a bottle / tube under 100ml (only travelling with handluggage) - I'm fairly light skinned, and can either burn or tan (!!!) I usually start with an SPF 30 and move down to a 15, but I'm only going for a few days and want to come back with a wee bit of colour?
Thanks for your advice

Not exactly the answer you were looking for, but you could buy a full sized bottle from the shops after you've gone through security.0

Thanks guys, I'd thought about the duty free, but the airport I'm flying from is teensy, and the DF is the same, so wasn't sure if I'd get a decent one from there.
Am going to supermarket tonight, so will take a scoot around.

Or buy some when you get there.0

I'm 'funy' about which sun protection I use so never rely on buying it at the airport or in resort.
If you're only taking hand luggage why not decant your usual stuff into a smaller bottle?
I always do this with moisturiser, shampoo, conditioner, hair gel etc whenever I go on holiday. It cuts down on weight.
You can buy bottles/pots from Boots (pricey) or use your own - I always save plastic containers that I think may come in handy.0 -
Boots do little pouches of Soltan cream for children, factor 30. I've used it myself as the packs are easy to carry in my handbag.Nevermind the dog, beware of the kids!0

Boots also do the small pouches in various factor strengths for adults.
They have an offer of buy one get one free at the moment so why not get the sun lotion and an after sun lotion for free.Born to shop;)0 -
home bargains do a set of 3 75ml bottles and 1 75 ml atomiser for either 69 or 79 pence and tesco do one for £1.20. both these also include the transparent bag that you have to put them in and show at security.0

you do realise you can put any size bottle in the checked luggage?
your undercover at the airport until youve picked up the bags anwway0 -

The OP is only taking hand luggage which is why the container needs to be 100 mls or less.0
