Sun Cream

Hello All

I'm offski for some sun in a few weeks and I've recently started looking for sun cream - I didn't realise how expensive the stuff is! (Not been on holiday for a while you see :D) Anyone know of any current BOGOF's doing the rounds?

Many thanks

    Tesco I think are still doing this as well :)
  • Savers usually have good deals too - E45 Factor 50 sun block was only 1.99 a few weeks ago! Use by date was end of August, so not good to stock up on really but perfect if you;re going away soon and will use it. I'm sure they had a few other brands too, less SPF factors etc.

    Also in the Matalan sale, they have all the spray sun screens at half price, various SFPs.

    Just remember you get what you pay for. Remember to check its UVA star rating on the Back as well, some cheaper ones may still be a a high SPF but may have a lower UVA star rating.

    UVA Ages the skin
    UVB Burns it.

    Older sun cream loses its protection over time.

    Happy Holidays. I am off on Holiday on 7th September so will be keeping an eye on this so I know where to get the good deals, lol!

    M&S also had halved their suncreams to £2.50 for a spray on I think 250ml (whatever the normal size is!)

    If you're flying abroad, remember the 100 ml limit on creams and liquids.
