We are going next week, our deem have said plaster the sun cream on everywhere. My son didn't take this advice when he had the really warm weather and suffered the consequences of looking like a tomatoe for a week.
We are going away on the 19th and have decided he will come off the treatment whilst away just because of the effect it had on him last time in prolonged sunshine.
