Paphos Life

DD2 is coming to Paphos soon and is looking for sun cream for 'sensitive skin'
The brand Aveeno has been mentioned.

Any recommendations?

Wow, J B! I cannot believe the £40 ish solutions on offer, after a quick search...

This find looks like it might be of possible interest, though:

Thanks Al
She is travelling with hand luggage only so was wondering if it was something she could buy in Paphos .... and her dad would be cross if she bought anything organic!!!

Get the soltan sensitive location from Boots at the airport. Heat rash was a big problem for my wife and a big worry ahead of our wedding here a few years ago. Never had a problem since using that.

There can be problems getting hold of Soltan at the moment. I know that Soltan Once for the face has been discontinued. I find P20 is good, and I believe I've seen it in Pharmacies in Cyprus.

Having read the other replies, I recommend Riemann P20 sun lotion. You can buy it at SPF 20 or 30. This was recommended to me several years ago by my dermatologist. I also have sensitive skin and it works a treat for me. It is light and easy to apply. One application in the morning should last all day as it is very resistant to water. I have never been sun burned since using it, though obviously using common sense not to sit in the sun for hours is sensible! In a survey of sun creams/ lotions which I saw earlier this summer, Riemanns was one of only 3 products surveyed which really does its job to protect the skin!
It is available at good pharmacies in Paphos.
I don't think that as your daughter is coming here in October she will have trouble with prickly heat! That is much more of a problem for some people in the height of the summer in Cyprus when both temperatures and the levels of humidity are both very high!

I have sensitive skin, deodorant is a problem, I can only use Salt of the Earth or literally get a rash so bad it starts to weep. My favourite is Piz Buin Allergy, If you have a B&M bargains near you it is £4.99 otherwise about a tenner, I was over in May/June and used this for 5 weeks, 4 days a week I do a longish cycle and I like to keep my heart rate up - sweating is an understatement. Then Nivea sensitive, which might have disappeared recently, Soltan I don't like the feeling of, but doesn't cause a rash or itching, L'Oreal kids sensitive is worse than the Tesco cheapo stuff, which I am fine with for a weeks holiday, so long as I stop using sun cream altogether. I won't last 2 weeks with it. Sorry, just re read and saw about size, these are 200ml, but you can buy the travel bottles in a pack in Poundland, bought some last week. Packed and waiting to go, that is why I am spending so much time on here. Warm up.
