XP: French Polynesia honeymooners - question

If you've already been... How much sunblock do I ***really*** need to bring for me and FH?? I think I bought too much! (and it adds up quickly!)

I have 3 bottles of 30spf (2 are the continuous spray bottles, don't know if those waste quicker)

2 bottles of 45 spf (but I DO want to get a tan so should I change for 30 spf?)

And I think I have one or two other bottles but don't remember exactly. I also bought a bottle of aloe aftersun lotion and some aloe with lidocaine gel/lotion in case we accidentally burn.

Too much??? I was thinking to return some. I know sunblock is SUPER expensive in Tahiti/Moorea/Bora Bora, but do I really need this much? I do not need sunblock for this summer (no time for beach/pool ). Thanks ladies!!

did you read my review? i posted a ton of good info ...

but to summarize... we completely used two bottles of continuous spray 15 and 30 -- and that's all we used. but Steve hardly used any lotion at all, so it was mostly me. i burn pretty easily, so i reapplied often and those two bottles lasted me the whole trip.

also, if you have a part in your hair, remember to put a little lotion on it!
