| We always use Boots Soltan or occasionally Nivea (love the smell of that) . If we run out on hol we get that as you can get nivea almost anywhere.
Soltan is more or less always on two for one plus normally if you spend so much in may 10-20 quid, you normally get a half price designer sunglasses voucher which is useful.
I got some really nice ones last year I think they were Jigsaw or something maybe, there upstairs somewhere and still in good condition.
Nivea is sometimes on offer too at Boots along with some other brands.
You should look for one with a high uva and uvb rating for protection, plus a minimum of 15 spf dont use anything lower.If you are taking kids you should use 25 or 30 unless they are babies and need a bit higher.

| Plus if you are taking kids the lotion or sprays that go on green are terrible for getting out of clothes , as if it wasnt bad enough already.

| Piz Buin all day is brilliant, put on in the morning, don't have to worry the rest of the day, smells lovely, not greasy.
TJ Hughes do special offers on sun tan lotions.

| I only ever use Piz Buin too. Sun Factor 2 because I don't need any higher. My wife uses a very high factor and I think she buys hers from T J Hughes or Wilkinsons.
