    Malibu dry oil spray buy one get one free in Superdrug at Hatfield galleria, factor 12 99p, factor 15 £3.49.

    This is mans sun protection just squirt a bit on and it dries with a rub. No nasty white goo all over the place to make you lose you grip on the cold beer.

    hiya,
    just thought I would add that sainsburys are really good for suncreams, last year i got different ones for me and kids ranging from spf 15 up to spf 50 and they were all really good, they vary in price but all tend to be between £3 and £4, the kids didn't get burned once - which is always my main concern when going for cheaper creams, and also they were nice spray ones which weren't too thick and rubbed in really well.
    I have just been down there to buy insect repellent spray for our hols to alcudia and paid £3.49 which is alot better price than anywhere else.
    hope this helps someone.
    luv anna xx

    I have very sensitive skin and also suffer from prickly heat. For the last few years I have been using Aldi's Ombra sun tan lotion. I just bought the factor 30 and it is £2.99 for 250ml the children's factor 50 is £2.49 for 100ml. I would still use it even if was more expensive as it is really good lotion.

    In the June edition of 'which?' magazine there are test results of the most effective sun creams. Some surprises here, as not all the popular brands did well. They tested Factor 15 products.

    Two of the best were two of the cheapest, both supermarket's own brand.
    One was Sainsbury at £3 and the other was Asda, also £3.

    By the way, I read the article in my public library.
    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!
