In Orlando, you can find Bullfrog at any grocery, drug, or discount retail store. It's not hard to find once you get to Florida, but I'm not sure if it's carried in the U.K.

Good choice, Bullfrog is hands down the best sunscreen for my family. My husband and 2 sons are red haired with freckles and it is the only sunscreen that actually works in the strong Florida sun. They brought out a spray version that is so easy to apply and works great!!

We always buy NoAd. My eldest daughter has very fair skin which also is quite dry. We found this the best for her. It is widely available in Orlando & comes in loads of factors. Also pretty cheap.

You can buy it here in any drug store or supermarket.

Have her wear a hat that protects her face. My kids wear a baseball type hat for the visor. Don't forget to protect her ears and back of neck. Make sure you apply before you go out in the sun.

I use Neutrogena breathable 45 spf which is waterproof and sweatproof and does not run into your eyes if you sweat on my kids. It also is non-greasy and doesn't smell. Make sure you buy new whatever brand you get because they do expire. Just follow the directions.

They sell t-sirts that have sun protection in them and also swim shirts. I don't know if you have them, but I know LandsEnd has them online. Great for the beach and waterparks.

Everywhere sells sunblock in FL. Especially where there are tourists.

Have a great trip.

I do rec Bullfrog- it even works on me and my fair son in the caribbean which has sun stronger than FL.

You can find it in most pharmacies and Walmart. Some greoceries have it, some don't. It really is sea/water/sweat resistant. Some say they are but aren't.

But, be warned. If you get a burn already before you use it, it can sting going on burnt skin as it is solvent based. But it truly is great stuff, and not available in the UK.

Just a caution - NoAd is cheap, but it isn't waterproof, and will run off as soon as you get damp or start to sweat.

Bullfrog stays on all day -- my kid is half-fish, I swear (not telling anybody about THAT night!), and Bullfrog's the only one that protects him all day in the water.

Bullfrog's only a couple of dollars more than the cheap stuff (that's a quid or so!) -- and cheaping out just isn't worth the blisters and pain of a nasty sunburn.

Bullfrog is the best. I only apply the lotion in the am and it is good for a whole day at the beach. For the little ones I like a little more protection. So a good coat of lotion in the am. Then they have a spray kind that does not have to be rubbed in. We use that half way through the day. It's quick and easy.

You can buy bullfrog in the UK from www.amazon.co.uk just put bullfrog in the search box, it's about £7 a bottle.

jenniparks is right, NO AD is the best, buy it when you get there, cheap, no smell, not greasy and ideal for fair skin.

Find it in Walgreens or CVS or Publix.
