Thread: Sun tan lotion

What sun tan lotions do you use? I need to stock up for our holiday (3 weeks, 2 days and counting....!!!!) and I need something that's good but also not too pricey.

I know a couple of years ago, Asda own brand was supposed to be very good so I am tempted to go for that, unless anyone else has any recommendations?

Hi .. so great to see sun tan lotion discussions :o)

I think the Asda essential care SPF30 is fab, 5 stars so really good protection and it's very cheap. Whatever you buy always check star ratings on the back - need to ensure it's 'broad spectrum' and if you need more detail then Sunsmart on Cancer Research site has lots of info.

Have a great holiday!

we've used boots and tescos own make and both been great dh is a red head so very fair skin and both provide good protection for him.

Used Tesco last year, was 2.99 for a bottle of factor 30!

I use this P20
It seems expensive but a bottle lasted all summer for us last year becaseu you only apply it once a day. No faffing or remmebering to take it with you

I have fair skin and always use Boots, quite often it's on 2 for 1 or 3 for 2.

I vote for P20 too. Kids were in and out of the pool all day in France and you don't have to reapply everytime they get wet and towel themselves off.

Really lasts all day, thru swimming, sweating and showering? Even for those of us with ridiculously fair skin?

P20 all the way for us

P20 or Parasol (same premise) here.
