Sun block.

[ummmmmdedum]

Does anyone know of one that's not oily?

My BF works outside and in a dusty enviroment so if he apply's the normal type the dust just sticks to his face. He has very pale skin and I do believe that he's burnt today.

I bought an Australian Gold suntan lotion when I was in the states and it soaked into my skin really well. I don't know if you can get the same one here but they definitely do a range. I have seen them for sale in the local tanning shop.

The best sun block I have, is a wide brimmed cricket hat. I may look a plonker, but I don't get sunburnt.

And your beer doesn't get warm!! Is that the type carrust?!

[carrust]

That's the one, rinkins. I also put a tea towel in it to cover the back of my neck if I have to work in the full sun... I look a right to$$er:-)

[ummmmmdedum]

He has to wear a hard hat...!!

What about the stuff that cricketers wear? That looks dry and would really make him look funny...!!!

[joby1]

P20 is not oily and you need only apply it once, I think it an hr before you go out, it lasts all day, it's made by Rieman. I think Autan may do one similar

I would get him something really oily, like Hawaiian Tropic, just for the amusement value.

Banana Boat Powder Dry - mainly marketed at children and has high factors, but this stuff is great, it is quite a runny lotion that dries completely when rubbed on the skin. Not visible at all, not oily and nothing sticks to it - you can't tell you have it on at all. They have it in Tesco and probably most chemists/supermarkets. And no, I don't work for them!!

[annie0000]

Oh, apparantly you can get one that is called Banana Boat Powder Dry Sport - which is more adult.

Can you buy the 'brimmed' hard hats in the UK? They help to shade the face.
