How long does sum cream keep? There's some on special offer at boots and im considering getting some for my young baby for summer, but i sure that sun cream cant keep for very long... i wonder how long sun cream is allowed to be sold for before it 'goes off' as such?:A Boots Tart :A0

I read once that sun cream loses 2 factors per year - so if it is true - buy high factor sun cream and you should be okI have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes0

Sun cream for the Summer should be ok I believe.
The problem is when it has been opened or left in the sun-that's why you should not use the same bottle of cream from one holiday to the next!

Hope this is the right place to post.
Does anyone have any advise for Prickly heat sun rash? Always spoils my holidays. Seems the higher factor sun cream I use the worse it is.... :rolleyes:0 -
I get prickly heat practically all year round :rolleyes:
Holland & Barrett sell an Aloe Vera gel that you apply to the skin. It's lovely and cool and soothing, especially if you keep it in the fridge.Here I go again on my own....0 -
Mine only happens when I sunbathe, so I'd like tips on how prevent it(if there are any) Will try some Aloe Vera tho, Thanks0

Are you sure you're not burning? Seriously, the only advice I can offer is to cultivate the 'pale and interesting' look, which has been my favoured option! means your skin stays looking younger for longer, as well!Signature removed for peace of mind0

I suffer with this and now only use sensitive suntan lotion. This year I used Boots sensitive soltan lotion and had no prickly heat at all.
Hope it works for you.0
