Skinnies SPF 30 Sungel Review

I mainly use it on my body as I have a different sunscreen for my face. I also use it on my daughter. I find that a little goes a long way. I have sunburned easily my whole life and have tried many different sunscreens. I never burn when I'm using Skinnies so I'm completely sold! It spreads easily, absorbs well, and is sweat proof. I would happily recommend it to anyone.

I got this years ago when it first came out and loved it then. Finally bought it for this summer and a little bit really does go a long way. It’s not sticky like other sunscreens where I have to wash my hands immediately after. It’s super smooth and soft. Love it.

I love this sunscreen and can’t live without it before when I used conventional sunscreen I always got burnt I have very light skin and work outside all day everyday so it is important I am protecting myself properly this product was a game changer it has no smell leaves my skin feeling hydrated and I have not once gotten sunburnt since wearing this I have also noticed my skin that never tans manages to get a little bit of a tan when I wear this product usually I just go from white to red this will be a staple in my life from now on! It can leave the skin feeling a little oily and immediately after applying my hands are a little slimy but it’s worth is for the amazing protection and the hydration it gives my skin

I love the texture of this sunscreen. It is so creamy and glides into the skin nicely without leaving white residue. It is non irritating and absorbs well. I wouldn't buy second time just because I don't like ingredient list. Only a personal preference.

I love the ‘little goes a long way’ idea, and indeed it does spread very easily across the skin. However, I never want to risk sunburn because I didn’t use enough product so I still try and use a decent amount of this in the summer. Furthermore, it still wipes off after I’ve been swimming or sweating so needs to be reapplied anyway.

It stings my eyes a little bit, but nearly every sunscreen has that issue for me. It also makes my skin quite oily. If you like the glazed donut look that is currently popular then you will probably enjoy the aesthetic of this product, but personally I wasn’t a fan.

I will still repurchase the tiny little tubes they have - 5 or 7 ml I think - because I pop them in my various bags for emergency sunblock top ups when I don’t have my preferred sunscreen available.

Having first used the Conquer version of Skinnies and loving it, when I saw some of the SPF 30 Sungel on special for half price I jumped at the opportunity. I figured it would be a lighter version and therefore made more sense for everyday use, rather than the running and tramping I used conquer for.

I loved the products small size, easy to pack in your handbag and apply whenever you need, or top up as required. I love that the product goes a long way, as there is no water added, you only need a pea sized amount for your whole face and neck.

What I did find though was that this product seemed more oily, which as a person who has quite oily skin does make me more conscious of how I look when I'm out and about. I found myself wiping the shine off my forehead, which presumably means I'm rubbing off the sunscreen too - so not that protected from the sun afterall.

I never got burnt wearing it, and my skin never reacted to it - which on both counts is more than what I can say for a lot of other brands, but I don't think i'll be buying this one over Conquer anytime soon.

Great sun protection, and a little goes a long way. Just found that it runs into eyes, and really burns. Also very oily, and make up doesn’t sit well on top op the sunblock.
