With weather warning promising a scorcher of a week, sun protection should be even more on your radar than it would usually be, though you should wear SPF everyday. With that in mind, NIVEA SUN Protect & Bronze range** consists of five different products, two of which are brand new additions to he range - Nivea SUN Protect and Bronze Tan Activating Protecting Oil and Nivea SUN Protect & Bronze Tan Prolonging After Sun Lotion, neither of which contain any self-tan but do incorporate the active ingredient, Pro Melanin into a sunscreen formula to support the skin’s natural tanning process, while also offering a highly effective system of UVA/UVB filters that protect the skin immediately upon application.
The Nivea SUN Protect and Bronze Tan Activating Protecting Oil contains no self tan but has a silky oil formula which protects and moisturises your skin. The natural pro-melanin plant extract supports the skin's natural tanning process (in vitro). It is also water resistant, so perfect for being on holiday as you go in and out of the water. I am a huge fan of oils, they are often much easier to use and I find them nicer on the skin than some creams which are a tad thick and feel almost smothering. This Oil is available in SPF20 and SP30 and retails for £15.99.
The Nivea SUN Protect and Bronze Face Cream is described as being a light, non-greasy moisturising formula that does not block your pores which I am delighted with because I absolutely hate sun cream on my face. It always feels to thick and my face always feels extra greasy and unable to breathe. This lotion is quite thick and it does take a good few minutes before it has completely absorbed but surprisingly it doesn't make my skin feel greasy or as though it cannot breathe which is brilliant. This cream is available in SPF30 and SPF50 and retails for £10.49
Nivea SUN Protect and Bronze Tan Activating Sun Lotion combines reliable protection with a natural looking tan and contains 0% Self Tan! The product contains a natural plant extract which helps support the skins own melanin production. Melanin is produced naturally within the body and is responsible for protection and tanning your skin. The formula of this lotion is extra light and it is also thankfully non-greasy whilst being moisturising for the skin and contains highly effective UVA/UVB filters that protect your skin immediately on application. I have used this daily since it came into my possession and it is really lightweight. This lotion is available in SPF20 and SPF30 and retails for £14.99
The final item in this quintet is the Nivea SUN Protect and Bronze Tan Prolonging After Sun Lotion. I have to admit that I am not a fan of Aftersun, I usually find it to thick and not as soothing or cooling as Aloe Vera Gel. That said, this lotion contains natural pro-melanin plant extract, and is said to help prolong a tan without peeling or flaking, now this I do like the sound of because the one thing that does happen to me if I do tan is peeling shoulders which is really annoying. This formula helps prevent premature skin ageing, fine lines and sun-induced wrinkles and if you keep it in the fridge, it is extra soothing on your skin. This lotion is available in SPF20 and SPF30 and retails for £10.49.

For me, this is a great little package of items, something for both myself and the Mister to use to keep ourselves protected from the sun.
What do you use to protect yourself from the Sun?

I'm very pale so I really should use some products like these.They all sound very good.
ReplyDeleteI do love the idea of being protected and bronzing all at the same time but I worry not wearing 50 - I am sure it is completely unfounded.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of keeping the after sun in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteI love Nivea sun cream

I like the idea of keeping it in the fridge. Need to try that now.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great set. I'm a fan of Nivea skincare products so would definitely give their sun range a go.
ReplyDeleteOoh yeah, I hate my face clogged up with thick sun creams so that sounds good. My daughter loves the ones with a bit of fake tan built in - I always seem to look streaky tho!
ReplyDeleteThey sound great, I love the the idea of added self tan! xx
ReplyDeleteThe protect and bronze tan spray is a brilliant idea. Most similar self tan sprays don't have protection. Kaz x
ReplyDeleteI love this, I'll have to give it a go!
ReplyDeleteI always get nivea for our holidays! Handy when it's on 3 for 2 that's for sure!
