Ego Sunsense logo GIVEAWAY AND REVIEW: Win a Family Bundle of SunSense Products Worth £100 (CD 02/08/2013)

I recently had an epic tantrum when lathering up Dexter with sunscreen in the morning. I always like to do it when he’s in the first fresh nappy of the morning before I pop his clothes on. I get in between his toes, on the tips of his ears and on his button nose to ensure no milky white skin is left exposed to the sun. This is a mission in itself when you have a child that loves eating cream, and hates sitting still… Combine it with a cheap supermarket own-brand sunscreen that won’t rub in, marks your clothes, and smells like rotting dandelions, and it’s a nightmare!

So, with a handful of cream I chased a naked Dexter around the living room swiping the odd bit of it on a bare leg, arm or bum cheek. We ended up with white marks all over the sofa, floor, my chiffon top, my hair… it was like a tub of Sudocrem had exploded! You’ll understand that I’m not criticising Sudocrem - it’s a miracle product in my eyes, but it belongs on bums and not up my walls.

Taking to Twitter, I vented my frustration. I needed a sunscreen with a high factor for the rascal, that rubs in well, and doesn’t smell like a green waste bin. It wasn’t long before I got a million recommendations for SunSense from my fellow mummy bloggers. Being the social bunch they are, SunSense quickly heard my cries too and sent me some products to try.

Each formula is unique and free from PABA derivatives and lanolin, has been dermatologically tested and uses high quality ingredients that quickly bond to the skin.
Families love using it too – in a recent survey, parents found SunSense ‘nice to apply’ and ‘easy to rub in, even when applied liberally’, while 100% would recommend the brand to other parents, friends and family.
SOURCE: SunSense

Our verdict? I’d go so far as to say the creams are amazing. Better still, as Australia’s No 1 sunscreen they have already proven they’re up to the job against heatwaves a million times the strength of our dismal summers.

The Toddler Milk sinks in with ease and a little goes a long way. It’s SPF 50 and is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes so you know your tot will be more than protected. Also available in a handy roll-on it’s ideal for quick touch-ups or popping in a school bag. Thankfully it also smells of holidays - far more pleasant than the supermarket own-brand. With the briefest of rubs it was invisible.

On the left, the milky SunSense. On the right, the clay-like supermarkets own-brand.

SunSense Ultra smelt of lip balm (very subtle and inoffensive). It leaves a delicate sheen on your skin and feels just like you’ve popped on your favourite body lotion. Again, it’s SPF 50, ideal for the whole family, and water-resistant for up to a staggering 4 hours.

Finally, I trialled SunSense Daily Face - a tinted sunscreen for the face and neck. I was recently very shocked to discover that although my usual Clinque moisturiser contained SPF cover, my foundation didn’t. Obviously the very act of rubbing in my foundation negated the SPF of the moisturiser to the extent that I might as well have not bothered! Sunsense Daily Face combines the best of both worlds and leaves my face silky smooth, well protected and evens out my complexion - none of that caking effect you get with foundations in high heat. It’s ideal to use everyday so now lives in my handbag.

Fancy giving this revolutionary sunscreen a go? Well they’ve very kindly offered me a HUGE family bundle to give away. Collectively the bundle is worth just shy of £100 so plenty to keep your family safe this summer. Entry is via the Rafflecopter below so best of luck to you!

It was a dream come true for me as I told the kids, and we did the Holiday dance, I could explain it, but then I might sound a little insane!
    We go on the 3rd of August, staying in their top 3 bedroomed static van at Hendra Holiday Park!
