Can anyone recommend some cheap suntan lotions and aftersuns that work?

I've been to Boots and Superdrug today and although they have some BOGOF deals they are still like £12 for a large bottle! Is it me or are they very expensive??

Asdas own brand is brilliant and cheep. I've been using it on me and my kids for the last 3 yrs and none of us has got sunburn

Aldi's suntan lotion is great, I have sensitive skin and would choose it over dearer brands. It is £2.49 for a 250ml bottle. I was in poundland at the weekend and they had E45 suntan lotion for £1.00 (obviously) also had their own make.

Hiya :) I had a nasty reaction to a new bottle of Boots Soltan sun protection earlier this year, and ended up trying a Sainsburys one - £3.99 a bottle - works fine with no bad reaction for me!

Check on the back of the bottle for the 5 star UV rating. You might be suprised to notice that a so-called premium brand such as Nivea only gets 3 out of 5 stars, while cheapie Asda gives 5 out of 5 star protection

may not be that cheap but was worth every euro

We bought some of this sun tan lotion whilst in Tenerife in January 25 - 30 degrees heat. We took with us the boots once stuff 150ml and their factor 50+ baby stuff for my two year old. Boots once stuff 150ml lasted 2 days for myself and my partner and that was £10.99 so £5.50 a day between 2 adults.


For all three of us the stuff we had bought was melting off us, made us look so white we looked ill, clogged up our pores. It was that thick it was horrible to apply and nasty to wear.

I know the prices look dear at first but the products that http://www.suncarecentral.com (http://www.suncarecentral.com/) do are not thick, smell nice, are highly concentrated. The products we bought we only needed to apply a very small amount. A bottle lasted 2 weeks last year and two weeks this year in Tenerife for both myseklf and my partner.

Excellent product will be buying more in future.

I guess your thinking, do I work for them? No found a great product.
