Cancer Society SPF 50+ Ultra Cool Beach Sun Spray

I love this sunblock! It has been so perfect for the summer heat, especially the hot Auckland weather this weekend! It really is "extra cooling" as it states, which makes it lovely and cool and applying it to your skin in the heat of the sun :).

I always love this style of sunblock - the sunblock that you spray; there's something about it that makes it feel so much more convenient and quick to apply then regular pumped sunblock out of a pump or tube.

It applys so evenly across the skin and is light and super quick drying.

I can have quite sensitive skin when it comes to suncreen, but this gave no reaction to my skin at all, also it didnt feel greasy and horrible on my skin (or hands) after rubbing it in.

After being in the heat of the sun gardening for the afternoon today, no sunburn here, wahoo :) - with this sunscreen being SPF 50+ that would have helped! I normally look for a suncreen with a rating of 50+

The spray will definitely last me for the remainder of summer, and is so easy to just throw into my handbag or beach bag. I will definitely repurchase once this one is used up.

Tips: Prepare yourself for the coolness of the spray :)

Best spray Ive used

We've tried several spray sunblocks. Having 2 young boys it was near difficult to touch up the sunblock every couple hours.

Cancer Society Ultra Cool is great. In my experience it lives up to everything it says it does. It was cool and refreshing on application. Once dried there was no greasy feeling left on the skin - Took less than a minute to dry. It's easy to use. Too easy.

The spray itself has quite a bit of pressure behind it but we liked that, as with most other spray sunblocks we tried, they were more of a mist, and excess sunblock sprayed everywhere and very little went on the skin - causing the tin to run out quickly. This sunblock (from our experience) had very little excess spray going in all other directions which is great.

Cancer Society Sun Spray

I thought this was a good sun spray that gave the Neutrogena one I usually use a run for its money. I definitely agree that it leaves a non-greasy feeling and doesn't have a scent/white tint like some other sunscreens. I would say however that i did find the spray itself can come out uneven and not as fine. However overall I would buy the again for myself and would recommend it for those who need a quick and easy way to put on your daily sunscreen!

Tips: Make sure you shake the can well and I find the further you spray, the finer it comes out.

Nothing amazing

I personally prefer sunscreens in a bottle rather than a spray but thought I'd give this a try anyway. I found it quite hard to rub in and make sure you've covered everywhere. It states that it's non greasy, but it definitely left me feeling a little greasy. I probably wouldn't repurchase this product, but will keep using it to see if I change my mind about it. I did however love how high the spf is. I'm very fair skinned and burn quite easily, so high spf is what I look for when buying sunscreen.

Protection against the sun except for your face?

When I was requested to trial this product I have never tried a spray on sunscreen before so naturally I was very intrigued.

The application of this product is efficient! So fast and easy to apply, I never have to worry about if I have got sunblock covering the middle of my back again! (Well until the spray bottle runs out anyway).

The scent when applying has a very distinctive smell of a salty aftershave. Once dried it smells more like a vanilla moisturiser.

I feel that this sunscreen definitely holds up on the fact that it is non greasy. Once absorbed there are no streaks, no uneven awkward yellowish sun tan lotion marks or colour like many of the sun tan lotions I am used to. In fact my skin seems lightly moisturised and supple.

I suffer from very sensitive skin and as usual I had to test out if it affected the worst part of my body - my legs! After showering early that morning I applied the sun spray after approximately 4-5hours. Now usually I cannot put any product on my legs until at least 24 hours after. This product stung a little but I did not break out in the normal itchy red splotchy extremely painful rash I usually deal with. Which I think is an amazing feat in itself.

I also had a chance to try it not only on myself but my six year old daughter who is very active and enjoys playing outside every day. Now usually putting sun screen on is a chore, but this seemed fun for her - also being quick and easy was great too. Although as it states that you cannot spray onto face I had to apply another sun cream. Which would be a bit of a hassle if the New Zealand summer had arrived as I would need to ensure that I brought two sun screens - on for face and the cancer society sun spray 50+.

Other than that I think that this product is amazing. I will be definitely stocking up my cupboard and have passed on to family and friends how great this product is.

Highly recommend!

Tips: Make sure you shake bottle properly before spraying. Also hold the bottle 15-20cm away from area you are spraying to ensure better coverage.

Cancer Society SPF 50+

I am so, so glad I gave this sunblock a try. I'm pretty guilty of not using sunblock because I can't stand the way it feels on my skin, always so greasy and like theres just a layer sitting on top of my skin that feels disgusting. However, I am so in love with this sunblock! First off I love how cooling it is when you spray it onto your skin, so so good on hot days. Secondly, I was actually amazed at how well it sank into my skin, it's super lightweight and while it made my skin feel moisturised it didn't have that typical gross, greasy feel. I wore this sunblock on a 28 degree day when I was in the sunshine all day with no cover, and I didn't even get slightly burnt, not even my shoulders which are super prone to burning. I'm so happy to have finally found a sunblock I like and I was 100% continue to buy this when I run out!

Cancer Society SPF 50+ Ultra Cool Beach Sun Spray-

I used this over a weekend at a festival where I was out in the sun for hours on end.

First I want to mention that I did not burn at all while using this sunscreen despite being in constant sun and having very very pale skin. Another good point is the smell- slightly menthol but not overpowering.

The only bad thing I have to say about this product is that it's very greasy. I only use spray on sunscreens and have never had a problem with them being greasy so I was pretty disappointed about this one as the residue rubbed on my clothes and I wasn't able to use it on my face due to the greasiness.

Overall I'd probably buy a different spray sunscreen purely due to the greasiness of this product.

Tips: Avoid wearing white as the residue does rub off on your clothes a bit.

Apply liberally

I like the idea it's for "NZ sun" as we have a thinner ozone layer and so the sun is particularly harsh on us. On first application, it gives off a slight menthol smell which I guess is what makes this "extra cooling" although I didn't actually feel it very much. I rubbed it in and it was quick drying but I could definitely still feel a film/layer of sunscreen the whole time I had it on - I guess you would call it "non greasy" but still present. Overall it works as a sunscreen and the Cancer Society is a reputable brand.

Tips: Perhaps a second coat after the first one dries would be a good idea. You should be applying liberally and often anyway.

Cancer Society SPF 50+ Ultra Cool Beach Sun Spray

The spray bottle is dark blue with a light blue lid and it has 175 grams of sunscreen in it.

It's easy to apply just by spraying and then spreading it evenly by hand.

The smell was unpleasant as when I smelt the sunscreen after I sprayed it on my hand, it gave me the smell of a cleaning product.

It's great for protecting you from the sun, but you'll be smelling like a cleaning product.
