Hate applying sunscreen? You need to know about this brand

As a child, I hated sunscreen. It was thick, gloopy, oh so sticky and didn’t rub in. Everything stuck to it, which I couldn’t stand. And, growing up with the beach on my doorstep, I was constantly covered in suncream and a layer of sand.

In my teens on the beach, I didn’t really appreciate the necessity for SPF like I should have done, especially seeing as it was drilled into me from a young age. In return for my insolence, my fair skin burned and often peeled.

One year my chest was so bad it took a long time to recover – and that was a turning point for me. Of course I was the laughing stock of all my friends because I was so burned and blotchy, but thankfully it put an end to me buying SPF 8, 10 or 15 and not taking suncare seriously. Now I’ll only ever buy SPF 30 or 50.

Since sprays became popular, they’ve certainly helped me as they’re easier to apply and rub in, but for proper coverage and protection, you need to be really careful to apply enough.

Since buying higher SPF and moving onto sprays, nothing’s compared to Coola. I used it on my last holiday – remember those? – and I’ve not looked back since. Why is it so good? Let me tell you.
