Sun Creams and SPF 50 Protection for Face and Body

Sun cream is the one product where buying enough matters more than buying expensive — people under-apply because they are trying to make a small bottle last. Our range covers high-protection factor 50 lotions and sprays for body, lighter facial formulas that sit under makeup, and kids' options. Brands in stock include Lancaster, Malibu, Avène and Collistar.

How much sun cream should I actually use?

Roughly six to eight teaspoons to cover an adult body — far more than most people apply — and reapply every two hours, plus straight after swimming or towelling. Look for broad-spectrum protection with a high UVA rating alongside the SPF number, since SPF alone only describes UVB.

Are your sun creams in date and genuine?

Yes — genuine branded stock, sealed, with plenty of life left; we do not clear short-dated suncare. Check the period-after-opening symbol on any bottle you have kept from last summer, as protection degrades once opened.

Afterwards, cool down with aftersun, or get colour without sun using fake tan.
