I mean, its an essential. These companies know we have to buy it. They do ridiculous bogoff offers - but i don't want two bottles, i want one. Its no good the following year so its not like its really any good value for money.

I just had to part with £5 for emergency sun block - looked like rain when i left to pick DD up, after lunch in cafe it was scorching again - she looked like she was catching the sun, im paranoid so had to buy the smallest bottle of stuff, boots own make - still cost £5, wont last five minutes.

'but its one of those novelty size bottles'

Oh OK--sorry missed that.

Re. P20: it's worth being cautious with this one. Boots won't sell it anymore because it only protects against, I think, UVB, not UVA rays. SO you won't obviously be burned but dangerous rays will still affect your skin.

This was annoying to learn because we relied on it for hot weather.

Here's some info on P20

Asda's is great.
Also, I got some fab special offers at Semi-Chem this year.
I agree that most of it is ridiculously over-priced.

Lol abraid!!

I thought the P20 stuff was tan-through sun filter? It makes my skin a nasty orange colour.
