If your little bottle of sunscreen costs a fortune then you might not slap it on as liberally or as frequently as you should \u2013 now just about anyone can afford to keep themselves safe and healthy without worrying too much about the cost.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/PennyGolightlySunscreen1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-531 aligncenter lazyload\" title=\"PennyGolightlySunscreen1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/PennyGolightlySunscreen1-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-531 aligncenter lazyload\" title=\"PennyGolightlySunscreen1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/PennyGolightlySunscreen1-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/PennyGolightlySunscreen1-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/PennyGolightlySunscreen1.jpg 529w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Most of us don\u2019t use anywhere near enough sunscreen. If you\u2019re going out there just in a swimsuit or shorts you need about 2 tablespoons of the stuff to be safe.\u00a0 It then needs to be reapplied regularly, especially after perspiration or swimming, according to experts such as Cancer Research.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a new sunscreen the recommendations are that you check the labelling carefully, and seek out a \u2018broad spectrum\u2019 product with an SPF of at least 15 that\u2019s been formulated to protect you from both UVA (which ages your skin) and UVB (which burns your skin) light. Fairer-skinned people and children need higher SPFs. To find out more about staying safe under the rays, visit SunSmart.<\/p>\n<p>High street chemists such as Boots and Superdrug have some excellent value own-brand ranges (Soltan and Solait) that get great results in independent tests, and so do some of the supermarkets, particularlyAsda and also Sainsbury\u2019s. Prices start as low as \u00a33. All these shops regularly have promotions on branded sun creams and lotions\u00a0as well, so you can save on the more expensive products if you\u2019d prefer.<\/p>\n<p>If you have very sensitive skin, Avon sell a very gentle but effective\u00a0unperfumed mineral sunscreen, and frequently have money-off deals. Lips are sun-sensitive on everyone: try a shielding balm such as Neutrogena SPF20 (\u00a32.88) or Nivea SPF25 (\u00a33.47), or a bargain tin of SPF15 Vaseline Lip Therapy (\u00a31.69). Or up the glam factor with a Collection 2000 SPF20 lip gloss (\u00a33.99).<\/p>\n<p>But what about the tan? Most people can still tan through SPF15, it just happens more slowly with less risk of burning and it might just save your skin. If you don\u2019t want to grill yourself until your face is the texture of old leather then there are plenty of excellent fake tanning products out there too. Stock up before you hit the beach, the festivals, or your best mate\u2019s barbeque.<\/p>\n<h5>This article by Penny Golightly originally appeared on the Lastminute.com blog.<\/h5>\n<p><strong>Do you have any favourite sunscreens that work well and are reasonably-priced?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Penny Golightly goes shopping for sunscreen.
