This is soo easy to use just chuck in your car or bag then spray on and your good to go. Lightweight formula spreads on your skin and absorbs quickly. My only concerns are the fact that the contents of the can don't last very long and how well protected are we by spraying on such a thin sunscreen? I liked it though

During summer I'm always looking out for sunscreens for my family. I wanted to try something different to a moisturiser. I thought I would give this spray a try on myself and my children.
This spray can has the Banana boat branding on it. Its easy to identify this can because of it's bright yellow colours used in the branding. This can comes in a 175 ml. Which is a lot of product for one can. I found the spray nozzle easy to apply. The texture of this spray is liquid. It didn't have any scent to it. It does appear to be clear coloured.
When I applied this spray on my children, I used this all over their arms and legs. As for the face areas, I sprayed this on my hands and quickly rubbed it on their faces. This spray lasted on myself and my kids for an hour in full sun. I did apply more on the hour. It only took me a couple of minutes to cover their whole bodies.
My results from using this can of spray was full protection from sun rays for about an hour. I do believe that you would need to re apply this spray. Its fast and easy to apply. It is priced in the mid to high range. If you need quick protection then this sunscreen is definitely the spray to use. Would I buy it again, I definitely would for fast protection. I haven't tried this in the water, I would love to try it again to see if it still protects my skin.
Tips: Do not spray directly on your face as it may sting your eyes, spray on to your hand and then apply.
I bought this because of the add on TV. SPF 50 This is in a spray can with a nice big fat push button, this is a black cylinder with some silver and blue and white on the container just sits on the shelf with the other sunblock it does jump out as the names intriguing and it looks good. So easy to use just spray, but I struggle with that concept I'm always squirting it on and rubbing it in, or squirting some in my hands and then rubbing it on I've never struggled so much with a product to do the application. On the up side it has a pleasant scent and it's clear in colour so no streaks to deal with. I feel a little greasy but not sticky so I don't end up feeling slimy and no white patches. A few drawbacks as I can't see how much product is left in it and I'm not sold on the spraying factor as I think there's quite a bit of wastage. On the plus side it has a pleasant fragrance it's lightweight and it works no sun getting through and burning my skin and it does last a few hours before I find myself applying more. I love the product but not in a spray so will try the lotion.
I switched to using this sunblock recently and I really love it. It doesn't feel sticky on my skin and lasts quite a long time. You can use it on your face but I wouldn't recommend for anyone with sensitive skin. I find I don't have to reapply as often as other brands and it doesn't have a strong smell either.
Tips: Make sure your spray depending on tbe wind so you get it on you properly.
I've bought this a couple of times as I really like it, it sprays on easily and isn't sticky. One downside I found is that due to the 'pros' listed above it can be hard to know exactly where you've covered and could end up missing one or two spots as a result. I tend to tackle this problem by trying to be systematic when applying and also not rubbing it in until I've applied to the entire area. Otherwise I love it and would definitely use it again, as I have. Great for hard to reach places, kids and summer fun.
This is great for the kids when they are eager to get out in the sun but hate the rubbing of normal sunscreen and mess free spray and play love it
I loveeeee the Banana Boat Sprayon Sunscreen's - They are amazing, they do what they are meant to do and best of all - I don't have to touch slimy sunscreen again!!!!! Spray and walk away :-)
I used so many cans of this last summer, was excellent to use on the kids who were in a hurry to get outside and loved that you could quickly spray them and didnt have to worry about greasy hands etc. Excellent stuff.
I used this when I was on a holiday in Phuket, 3 days of being under the sun and no sunburn! Yay! I apply so many thing on my skin that the constant spreading and massaging of products gets tiring SOMETIMES. I love that this sunscreen just has to be sprayed- no oily residue in the hands from the spreading, no blending to make sure I don't go out with patches of white lotion in my body. You just spray all over, make sure you don't miss a spot and you're all set to enjoy the sun!
I bought this one when I was on holiday in Australia as I couldn't find my regular spray on Neutrogena sunscreen in the supermarket there.
I'm a huge fan of these clear, spray-on formulations as they don't leave awkward white tide lines on my entirely black wardrobe. That way you can confidently get this right up to the edges and under where your clothes end without any fear of staining, and with no fear of those dreaded missed spots when you don't apply close enough to your clothing lines.
I reapplied this regularly out of paranoia, as I was at an outdoor event for a few days, and I did not get burnt at all. I have since used this for swims at the beach too and it seems to have stayed in place long enough for me to swim without burning.
I would buy this again if I needed to. My regular Neutrogena one still wins because it smells a lot better, but this still does a great job. I would definitely grab it as a second choice if I couldn't find my favourite in the shop.
