Whether you're off on hols or enjoying the beautiful British weather, it's always a good idea to slap on the sun cream and stay safe in the sun. So what I want to know is what are the best deals and discounts on sun cream.

My local 99p shop has Banana Boat suncream (Good stuff, made in U.S.A.)
in various factors for,yes you've guessed it 99p,so those sort of places might be worth a look.

Lidl were doing 500ml for just less than £3.

there was a article in one of the sunday newspapers about some shops own brand sun lotion which doesnt give the protection it makes out it does
so be wary on good deals

I posted this elsewhere before I saw this thread.

There are a lot of half price and BOGOF's on suncream but this was a fab find in my local Sainsburys.

Ambre Solaire at least half price, some even more, nearer 75% off!!

AS SPF30 Moisturising Protection Milk £4.24 (10.79 in Boots)
AS UV Sensitive 50+SPF (for your face) £2.49 (10.99 in Boots)

Couldn't believe my luck!!

I got a job lot of Ambre solaires when my local morrisons closed down for 99p each, which I was chuffed with. I usually buy piz buin out of season for something I do like, but it is pricy.

Last summer in the caribbean, I used No-AD, now you wont see any ads for these hence the name but they are VERY cheap and extremely good at protecting. I was in 110f in belize and it did work well at protecting me. I cant rate it enough. I think, although not sure that they still sell it in Asdas.

soltan is always on bogof at boots. if you need a lot, the big £15 bottle will also qualify you for the £15 spend bonus points voucher from the advangtage card machine

My local Boots had lots at half-price at the w/e. Might also be in other stores?

Aldi has factors 30(for kids), 15 & 8 for £1.99 a bottle.

Also remember to slap on that hat and wear close fitted sun glasses as part of your protection.
