    Hi Acid I bought some Clarins Factor 15 Suncream half price (around £7.50) in Boots yesterday. All Clarins suncare range half price at the mo I think. The S A wil be able to advise you what type you need.

    top stuff..
  • I usually buy from boots when they have the offers on as i find that soltan is the best brand, and it comes with built in insect repellant.

    I would also advise aftersun too!

    Other things you might need
    -sunglasses
    -swimwear (check last years are still ok)
    -Flip flops
    -enought summer tops
    -beach bag
    -baby wipes are always good in a foreign country

    also check you have passports left.....you dont want to do what my bf did once and realise a week before the holiday that it had expired
