I was really interested in these Attitude Sunly Sunscreen Sticks because, not only are they completely plastic free, but they don’t count as liquids, so if you’re travelling hand-luggage only, you can pack as many as you like. Here’s what you need to know.

My Review

Because I am so fair (without my fake tan!) I usually always opt for an SPF50 sunscreen. Even though the difference between the levels of protection isn’t as great as it seems (SPF 30 allows about 3% of UVB rays to hit your skin, whereas 50 is nearer to 2%), I still prefer to go as high as I possibly can. This is because, if you think about it, 3% of rays is actually 50% more than 2% of rays! Anyway….

Having said that, I was really keen to try out these Attitude Sunly Sunscreen sticks because they are so convenient, and travelling with big bottles of sunscreen is one of the reasons that I always avoid hand luggage-only.

In terms of texture, this is one I’d choose for my body rather than my face, because I prefer a much finer, more fluid facial sunscreen. I did try this on my face, and I find it can leave a very faint white cast and needs a fair bit of working in, whereas body application is pretty effortless. I just draw it on and then smooth it in and it’s done.

I find the format is great for body tops on the go, and you can be precise with application, to avoid getting sunscreen on your clothes.

I have been trying the Orange Blossom scent and it’s really nice. It has that soft sunscreen smell that I love, with a touch of floral fruitiness that is really pleasant.
