Sun Tan Lotion

Options
Had been shopping about for P20 sun tan lotion as it is terrific but expensive and came across Boots offer for Piz Buin, higher sun factors not available at mo online but may be available in stores, but great for second week of holiday when i usually drop to a lower factor anyway. Great for a busy day as need only apply in morning before getting dressed and forget about it all day.

P20 approx £18.00 for 200 ml.

    Thanks for the tip.

    I've managed to get 2 for 1 on the sensitive skin stuff (Soltan) which is normally a bit tricky to get hold of.

    I use Boots all the time but it never occured to me to try their website for deals - duh!

    P20 sells for a tenner in TJ Hughes if you have a local store.

    The Piz Buin is better than P20 as it protects against UVA rays as well as UVB. Used to be thought that only UVB were harmful, but we're now advised to cover up against both.

    The new L'Orial Solaris range is £1.03 Factor 15 in my local Tesco on Goodge St, London.

    I wonder if the Piz Buin has a quicker binding time - the 90 minutes needed with P20 used to really be a problem with the children.
  • dont know, cant find any details anywhere, but will check in tesco at lunchtime tomorrow (where they are selling it at £12.49 for 1 bottle compared to boots BOGOF) and update.

    I have always used Proderm once a day sun mousse which is excellent. I am finding it increasingly difficult to buy. Does anyone know a stockist?
