Keep Klean Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hi, does any one know the cheapest place in Sheffield to buy any brand, once a day application suncream/lotion/spray from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I'm afraid I do not trust the once a day type of sun creams. The data suggests that the efficacy on many tails off hugely towards the end of the day and that is made worse by sweating, mechanical action of clothes/towels/sand/ on the skin and going in water. Combine this with ingredients that have a quite high potential of allergies (which of course don't wash off easily because they are intended to hang around all day) and this means that I'd approach them with caution or at least only buy ones for which you have seen good data of their efficacy. Maybe it's better that you find one brand that suits you and your family, check it has the data to support it and then buy one bottle and patch test it, then look for the best price on that brand?

monkey104 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I use once a day factor 50 but it's a false economy really cos after a few hours i feel it's worn off and slap some more on. I do this about 3 or 4 times a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilypiglet Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 P20 and swear by it, I'm fair-skinned and have used this for 15 years. It now comes in 30+ and 50+ as well. It says to apply an hour before going out, but half an hour for me has let it dry, it's resistant to being washed or sweated off and is recommended by trekkers/athletes etc who train/run in sunny climates. The few extra quid spent over a budget brand is well worth it as a little goes a long way. Here's a link if you wish to read about the product. http://www.p20.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep Klean Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Thanks for your replies, i have used them for years myself and think they are great for the days when your not in and out of the water. Thats why was asking if anyone knew of any offers in sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilypiglet Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 P20 is pretty much the same price anywhere you go, it's usually around £10 for 100ml bottles, places like B and M and Home Bargains sometimes have it discounted, TBH they're the only places I've seen it on sale for slightly cheaper than RRP, I'll keep my peepers open.
