Best Sun Protection Cream

Sun protection is the biggest summer essential in our beauty bags to create a total sun block, and we're expecting no less than the best sunscreen lotion for our skin. Get holiday-ready with our best face sunscreen.
Titanium dioxide sunscreen (spf 30) is at the top of the agenda now that the sun has finally got his hat on. A real essential throughout the warmer months, the best way to enjoy the higher climes is with one of these natural sunscreen creams in your beauty bag. You'll be on your way to younger skin and a flawless (non-red) tan in no time with the help of your favorite sun cream.

But sun lotion can be expensive, especially considering they don't last very long! You shouldn't be keeping a lotion with spf for longer than 12 months, as it can make the UV protection ineffective (although, according to the Dr Chris Flower, 'Chances are it will probably be OK if it's just over a year old, although older bottles should definitely be binned'). So it's fair to say we need to make sure we're buying the right one!

At least when you pick up a bottle of sun cream in the shops you know it's got all the protection you and your family need, right?

It may be hard to find the best sunscreen for babies. They come in all shapes and sizes so we also calculated the cost per 100ml. But beware with price and discount deals. Many high street and supermarket brands have a high RRP but in peak suncream season, you'll see them on sale for 33-50% less - allowing the stores to offer what seem to be eye-catching discounts. The best advice - SPF 50 and 5 stars offers most protection. But remember, it's also likely to be thicker and more difficult and time consuming to apply on wriggly children.


We know different sun creams appeal to different mums. So we've given plenty of detail for you to be able to make your own decision.
