I wanna buy... Once-a-day suncream

Can anyone recommend a suntan lotion that you only need to apply once per day?

I have used Reimann P20 in the past to good effect (I came back from Bali whiter than when I went _pale_), but it also stains any light-coloured clothing a nasty shade of orange.

Has anyone tried Boots' own range, Soltan Once? Any pros/cons with that? Or, any other brands to recommend??

cheers,
Machine

    Have just bought some of the Boots own range Soltan Once. Think the label states 6hrs protection so not truly an all day lotion

    We are off to Portugal tomorrow for a week so will report on my return

    I am a great fan of these particularly for kids who are in and out of the water all day. The Boots one is a bit sticky and hard to rub in, but does the job fine. The Piz Buin one is very good but much more expensive. I have also used a mousse one that used to be called ProDerma, which is quite hard to find, comes in a blue can and is very very good. Not sticky, water resistant and sand doesn't stick to you. My daughter has always had these once sprays since she was one and she's never in 7 years had sunburn with it.

    i've used the parasol one and the piz buin one, both of which leave sort of creamy stains on the clothes but not as bad as P20...

    I've not tried it yet - but like the sound of the Proderm Mousse, and one website I came across suggested that it would be good even for eczema & sensitive skin.

    Btw it's now changed it's name and is called 'Bergaderm' - the cheapest I've seen it is £8.89

    Someone posted on here last summer saying that Sainsbury's were doing it on BOGOF @ £11.99 back then. Perhaps they'll do it again (if they still stock it).
