Product: Kiehl's Ultra-Light Daily UV Defense    Who for: Anyone who wants a lightweight sunscreen    First impressions: The texture was not what i expected    After one week: Skin felt and looked hydrated    After one month: Sample not big enough to provide that amount of use    Stockists: Kiehl's, Boots, John Lewis, Escentual, Space NK    I received this sample size from a post on Instagram, I had wanted to try this brand.  It has a slight yellow tinge to it.  It applied well to the skin and did not leave a white cast.  My skin felt hydrated.  It worked well with the other steps in my skincare regime as the final step after moisturiser.  I tried it in the winter and perhaps should try it again in the warmer months to see how well it performs when I am perspiring.  It is a great one to choose if you need a lightweight formulation.  

Tube of UltraSun After Sun Tan Booster I have used gradual tans in the past which didn’t give me a natural looking tan.   This product gave a natural tan to my pale legs – they don’t tan.   The after sun part of the product was cooling on the areas that had gone red and helped reduce the redness.   The consistency of the gel is easily absorbed into skin requiring not much rubbing on areas that are delicate due to overexposure from the sun.   Best After Sun I have used.

Two tubes of UltraSun Lip Protection SPF30 This is a great all year-round lip protection.  It nourishes and hydrates the lip area.  This has no colour so both males and females can wear it.  I have been wearing it daily, and re-applying as necessary, slightly over the lips to include the areas that have wrinkles.  I didn’t realise that the lip area needed protection until using this product during the hot weather the UK has been having recently.  My lips weren’t peeling or dry and sore at the end of the day.  It will also provide protection for my lips in the winter and when the UK has its typical summer weather of rain.  This product has become part of my basic make-up routine as my lips look smoother and softer since using it.

Packaging and Bottle of UltraSun Sports Spray 50+ I know that some people will use it this product whatever the weather, but I used this only when the weather here in the UK was really hot.  It is easy to apply to the face, neck and body.  It doesn’t leave a white residue on the skin like some can do.  The lotion is absorbed into the skin easily leaving no residue.  When I perspired it didn’t run into my eyes and make them sting like others have.  I applied this once I had cleaned my skin before putting on any serums and moisturiser.  If you want to apply make-up, you can.  Just wait ten or fifteen minutes after applying the lotion before continuing with your normal skincare and make-up routine.  It didn’t affect how my foundation sat on my skin.  I think I have found my every day sunscreen whether the weather is hot or cold.

Bottle of UltraSun Extreme 50+ I know that some people will use it this product whatever the weather, but I used this only when the weather here in the UK was really hot.  It is easy to apply to the face, neck and body.   It doesn’t leave a white residue on the skin like some can do.   The lotion is absorbed into the skin easily leaving no residue.   When I perspired it didn’t run into my eyes and make them sting like others have.   I applied this once I had cleaned my skin before putting on any serums and moisturiser.   If you want to apply make-up, you can.   Just wait ten or fifteen minutes after applying the lotion before continuing with your normal skincare and make-up routine.   It didn’t affect how my foundation sat on my skin.   I think I have found my every day sunscreen whether the weather is hot or cold.

Packaging and bottle of UltraSun Sports Spray 30 I personally have not used this product, but I have applied it to my youngest son on the school days that he has had sport at school including sport’s day.   Also, my hubby has used this when working in the garden or a family barbecue.   The youngest son is a red head who like me burns easily.   He loves this spray as it does not run when he sweats, there is no residue on his skin and it is applied before school and his friends don’t know what he is wearing protection.   My hubby loves this as it does not leave his skin feeling sticky and does not stick to his body hair.   As it is applied before going out he does not have to stop every so often to re-apply and working in the garden that is not what he wants to do.   It did not run into his eyes when he was perspiring as others have done in the past which made him against wearing any form of sun protection.   Both hubby and son will be using this p...

Tube of UltraSun Family Sun Lotion I had been using a high street brand that in this heat when I perspired the cream would run into my eyes and make them sting.  I had seen the shows on QVC UK, they made so much sense.  In the past I had used once a day formula on my three children but didn’t like them as their skin always felt sticky and the lotion/gel stained their uniform.  I bought this from QVC UK and am so happy that I have.  I can use it all over my face, body, décolleté and arms, it’s not sticky or leaves a residue – hasn’t stained any clothes.  Best of all when I perspire it does run into my eyes and make them sting.  I apply it after cleansing, before getting dressed.  I wait an hour to put on my serums then after another hour put on my make-up.  I know that not many people will be able to leave an hour between applying products you could apply them after 20 minutes.  Yes, I have tanned no I didn’t burn.  My youngest is a...
