We've got 3 twin packs of Solar Buddies sunscreen applicators to give away, which are designed for children to use themselves. The shape of the bottle is chunky so it is easier to grip, and with its sponge and rollerball partnership it allows for easy coverage with less mess and no waste due to its controlled flow. As mummy to a very pale Ginger, I’ve always worried about him being able to apply Suncream himself at school. We didn’t have sun cream covered sticky hands at all and even our son could apply his own sunscreen, albeit with a little help from me to do his neck and back. They launched the product after discussing the ‘no-touch policy’ in place at schools and created a product that allows teachers to apply sun cream to children in a safe and convenient way.

They were designed by two mums who were looking for a better solution to applying sun cream to kids, particularly for schools who often have a “No Touch” policy when it comes to kids and sun cream. The product, created by Welsh mums Kelli and Laura, recently gained a huge new audience when it was successfully pitched in the Dragons’ Den. A MUM has raved about a must-have summer essential that makes applying sunscreen a breeze - and it's perfect for children. The applicator is also a great sun safe teaching tool that allows your children to understand the importance of protecting their skin.

We also have lots of sun safety and skincare advice for babies and children in this comprehensive, doctor-led guide. And if your child has hair, it's so much easier to put it around their neck, their ears because normally, they end up with it everywhere.

After a conversation at the school gates, Kelli and Laura decided to take matters into their own hands. Scenarios we are all v familiar with as parents, which is EXACTLY what mums Kelli Aspland and Laura Waters cottoned on to, and designed a rather nifty solution to help. Harper (aged 3) currently has a mild obsession with sun cream, and being apply to apply it for herself meant the SolarBuddy was a huge hit with her. We know sun safety is a top priority for parents, and it’s great to know that Solar Buddies are here to protect as well as help to educate your children about sun safety.It’s simple to fill and simple to use, making your trips to the beach, or park, holidays at home or abroad and even the school run, much more pleasant. Mrs Hinch never fails to impress with her affordable hacks, from her cleaning must-haves to her '10 out of 10' tanning drops – and the cleaning influencer's latest recommendation is a must-have for families this summer.

Laura and Kelli’s most memorable mistake came after they were approached by a potential health sector client who wanted to work with them but felt their brand wasn’t quite ‘right’. I filled our son’s cream from his spray bottle, not realising you aren’t advised to use spray creams in Solar Buddies. Protect your shoulders and head as this can help stop sunburn of the neck, shoulders and top of the ears.My daughter would have a meltdown every day at the prospect of applying sun cream but with this there is no fuss. So when I found out about the Solar Buddies applicators which mean my older children can apply their sun lotion themselves; we literally became the talk of the school playground! It's ideal for taking to nursery or school, as it's a great way to teach your child on how to put on their own Sun Cream. I like using the applicator myself, as you're not left with a dollop of cream and nowhere to put it.

The Solar Buddies applicator can be filled with a sun cream of choice, and the roller ball smoothly applies to the skin to avoid greasy hands. Solar Buddies are an answer to no more sticky hands and will make beach days, or sun holidays abroad for that matter, a lot easier for families. It has a large ball style handle which makes it easy for children to grip and to hold onto and removes all the usual mess which usually occurs when applying sun cream meaning you’ll not then have to go and wash your hands after applying your cream. We always recommend adult supervision when your child is applying their own sunscreen to make sure of complete coverage. But I think I’ve finally found the answer with an awesome child friendly sunscreen applicator in the form of Solar Buddies.Also, the less mess, less stressful application meaning the kids were able to apply their sun cream independently. The applicator allows children to apply their own sunscreen, teaching them about sun safety, as well as independence. There was nothing out there for the kids to be able to make this job easy and they always run away from you. Weve used it 3 days in a row now on 2 adult and a toddler and I was worried it woudlnt apply evenly or enough to prevent purning but non of use burnt (applied as directed on your suncream bottle) No mess, quick and easy to use so it's a win for families with children! My son, who is autistic, can barely tolerate having suncream put on, but with Solar Buddies, it's no mess, no fuss!
