We swear by Tesco Value factor 30. Recent bought 14 400ml bottles for 97p each :D

I use Malibu because I love the slight coconut fragrance.. factor 25 or 30 for the first few days then 15. Anything strong/floral makes me sneeze.

Ambre Solaire but only buy when it is half price :D

Everyone is different, you need to find one you like and stick to it.

 

I can use pretty much anything including the 99p small tubes from home bargains, however DW doesn't get on with Ambre Solaire and sticks to Piz Buin.

 

Home bargains and B&M stores sometimes have some good deals on both Ambre Solaire and Piz Buin. Can be as low as £4-5 sometimes, when the same stuff in boots/superdrug may be £15 ish.

 

Will look out for the tesco ones, thanks for the heads up hammers.

p20...its expensive...sometimes you can get it in b&m for 6.99 otherwise £20 in duty free shops....you only need to use it once aday and its waterproof so no need to re apply...its smells terrible (like petrol) but works realy well... I think p40 is available if you are very fair....wouldnt recommend it for kids or if you have sensitive skin tho

 

i wouldnt recommend using regular sun cream on your face either (a bit stingy in the eyes!)...borrow your dw's lancome instead;)

We use the Piz Buin "once a day"which is cheaper than P20 and is often on a special offer price. Smells ok too!

I am fair skinned and like to do a lot of swimming and snorkelling on holiday. I have used Nivea Sun Protect and Bronze on holidays in Cyprus and Turkey during July, and found it excellent. It's very water resistant and is easily absorbed into the skin. I also found it allows a nice tan to develop, without burning. I always apply it first thing in the morning and re-apply once or twice during the day on sensitive areas such as the shoulders after swimming. I have never had sun burn since using it. It's also reasonably priced.

 

Before trying it I used to use P20 (which I found quite harsh on my skin) and Piz Buin 'once a day' application, which I quite liked. However, I personally found it prevented a tan developing (could have been because I was using factor 30).:)

I used the boots once range and found it very good. I got a good tan even tho I used high factor all the time.

I am a Piz Buin once a day fan and never get burned. We can get it cheap in Semi Chem and Watt Brothers as well as the other places mentioned.

Piz Buin once a day suits me most and smells nice. On offer in Sainsburys at the moment £6.00 :). I used to use P20 which was excellent but ruined a lot of my clothes with yellow staining :(.

Australian gold is the best for me. Never burned got it originally in mexico and now get it off the net only use factor 15 and just back from Caribbean with no burns and I am fair skinned its also reef friendly

I had a basic one in the Caribbean that was fine, but have just spent £1.99 for a factor 15 in Superdrug. Lashing out now!!

Yes we like the Aldi one too. When I say "we", I mean "I". Bless Him wouldn't know the difference. I prefer the spray on type too.
