P20 allergic reaction - can you recommend an alternative lotion please?

Hi I wonder if you could help me? I have been using the suntan lotion P20 factor 50, but I notice now that it makes me come out in itchy spots on my skin where I have added it. This is a pain as I can't use it anymore and the Nivea was good but I forgot to keep adding it every half an hour so I'd burn anyway. I'm looking for a lotion you put on once and that's it. I was thinking of trying the Boots Soltan once to see if that was any good, has anyone used that?

Only thing its Â£8 a bottle at the moment, why charge so high a price that is protective!

Anyway Please can you recommend a once only lotion?

Many thanks.

I swim a lot and work outside in my yard for long periods of time on the weekends. I chose this spray on for a couple of reasons.

1. It's light and not oily.

2. It dries very quickly.

3. You can spray it on your face with your eyes closed and it doesn't sting or burn.

4. It lasts. Really lasts. One application is all that I have ever needed per day.

5. You can tan through it, but I've never burned through it.

6. Best of all, it's a spray-on. That makes it much easier to evenly coat everything and not miss places like the tips of ears or the middle of the back. It applies extremely quickly and easily.

Even a factor 50 sunscreen is not enough to protect you from skin cancer. The best way to avoid sunburn is to stay out the sun ... period.

If you have to and are silly enough to sun bathe or spend time lots of time in the sun, rather check the UV index first.
