A Must Have For Summer
-05.12.13
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural
Fabulous is one word that describes this product. It is a very powerful sunscreen that last through the toughest conditions. Last summer I spent a day at the beach in Florida with this stuff on, never reapplied. NEVER GOT BURNED! :D It is amazing, I'm definitely repurchasing. There is no need to read any other reviews. You have found your dream sunscreen. :D

Easy to use!

Quick Take: non-greasy, natural
I love this mist spray because its so easy to use and isn't heavy on my skin. Its light and still offers the protection I need. All sunscreens need to be continuous mists as I for one don't want to use heavy creams anymore!

Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural, easy, luxurious
I love that this product keeps my skin fully protected from the sun, but doesn’t prevent me from getting a nice tan. Pair that with the water resistant formula and you’ve got the perfect sunscreen!

Good Protection But Sticky and Greasy Feeling
-07.25.12
Quick Take: sticky and heavy feeling
If you like the smell of Privet Bloom , the scent will appeal to you. Other reviews claim that it felt light - like water, but I found it to be much like similar drug store brands - glycerine- sticky and the sticky feel does not go away. I will be returning it.

This was terrible
-07.24.12
It smells like alcohol and that smell stays on you. I'm not even sure it worked as a sunscreen because I got a lot darker when I used this compared to my other body sun screen spray. Overall it was terrible. I returned it.

Sticky and smelly
-07.12.12
Quick Take: sticky, smelly
This is the second spray on SPF I've used and my first was a cheap one from a drug store, and I far preferred it.
This one smells and feels like hairspray. Aerosol fills the room when I spray it on, and it stings my skin when I might have a scratch. It is super sticky and makes my skin so shiny it looks like I am sweating profusely.
The good side is that it has protected my skin, but the cons are not worth it. I am going to keep shopping around.

Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural
This line of sunscreen is great when you’re outside all day. It stays on so well. I never even had to reapply it! It has such a fresh, clean scent. It's almost as if you are wearing perfume instead of sunscreen. I definitely recommend this product.

Stinky & Sticky
-07.06.12
Quick Take: stinks, oily
Not only does this smell terrible, but it's an incredibly strong scent that lingers long after I apply it. The product feels like I've got a greasy film over my skin and remains sticky - it just doesn't absorb. I will be returning this. It's a convenient spray sunscreen, but the scent and texture is unbearable.

The Best Sunscreen Ever
-06.30.12
Quick Take: long lasting, easy to apply
I used Hampton Sun Continuous Mist sunscreen during the past week in Newport. I returned from the beaches without any burned spots that I missed. The spray can be applied from any angle, even upside down. Not only is it easy to apply, but it is also long lasting. It is a bit expensive, but it is worth the price!

The best sunscreen I had so far
-06.13.12
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily
1. It feels light, clean, not greasy at all.
2. It smells fresh.
3. It's really easy to use (I always prefer spray)
4. What can I say? This is the first time I didn't get sunburned after 5 hours of beach fun (I reapplied once).

ONE OF MY BEST FINDS LAST SUMMER (2010) - AWESOME
-05.22.11
Quick Take: pricey for 5 ounces, sprays at any angle making this awesome
I used Hampton Sun Continuous Mist last summer, and will use it again this summer, when I'm alone at the beach or at a pool. It has a broad spectrum SPF 55 which is great for people like me who have very pale skin and burn easily. As noted by previous reviewers, this is somewhat greasy when it first goes on. I've found that it does absorb, albeit somewhat slowly. This is expensive for only five ounces of product since this a body sunscreen and not just for my face, which is why I only use it when I'm alone with nobody to help get the sunscreen on my back. This is especially beneficial for me when I'm traveling for business, and want to enjoy a quick swim in an outdoor pool, or take a walk on the beach, depending on where I am. Last year, I was so delighted with the delivery system for Hampton Sun Continuous Mist Sunscreen SPF 55 for one very specific reason - it sprays at any angle, which means if I'm by myself , I don't have a problem applying this to my back because it sprays no matter how the container is tilted. While I've tried other sprays which claim to work when the container is tilted, so far, Hampton Sun Continuous Mist Sunscreen SPF 55 is the only one which actually works consistently. I did read in a few places that this has a lot of chemicals in it which is disappointing, but this is only for infrequent use and the damage the sun can do probably outweighs the chemicals. Since I have very pale skin and can burn in minutes, in the past, I've occasionally had to avoid a cooling relaxing awesome dip in the pool because of the sunscreen issue. Since I discovered this last year, that's no longer an issue, making this one of my great finds from last year.
PS This does not meet TSA regulation for carry on luggage and can only travel in checked baggage.

Glimmering skin protection
-04.28.11
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily
This product is easy to apply and has a nice feel to it. It leaves a sexy sheen on your skin. However, it contains a long list of chemical sunscreen ingredients, which reacted with and ruined my fresh manicure. I would not apply this product to hands, and from now on, I will be careful with it around nail polish!

Just arrived back from Maui. This stuff worked really well. The places I applied it still look the way they did before I left. Pale and white vs. Skin cancer, pale and white wins every time. Went on easy, no heavy perfume smell.

Favorite Misting Sunscreen
-10.22.10
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily
This summer I recently discovered why I love misting sunscreens more than regular lotions...they don't rub off your self tanner! I have medium/light skin and prefer to be tan, but I don't like to risk getting skin damage from the skin. Therefore, I use a self-tanner before I lay in the sun and then wear sunscreen. A big problem with that is that sunscreen lotions rub off your sunless tanner, so if you have a similar routine to mine, make sure you use a misting sunscreen. Hampton Sun's is perfect because it's OIL-FREE! Anyone who uses self-tanner knows any moisturizer you put on after shouldn't have oil and that should apply to your sunscreen as well.

Ok, but not my favorite
-09.27.10
I wanted a light, non-greasy, mist sunscreen that smelled good and didn't just make me look sweaty. I bought this based on some other reviews I saw. I feel like it was a light mist sunscreen that basically did make me look sweaty, didn't seem to soak in very well, and I didn't love the smell of. It seems to do the job of a sunscreen but I didn't love the application or the smell, especially for the price.
