The prices of suncream is a lot cheaper in the Winter then it is the Summer, Welcome to Rip off Britain. But you need it to stop from getting burned.

Then again, supply and demand could have a lot to do with market price fluctuations...
Supply and demand.
Low demand in Winter = lower prices
High demand in Summer = higher prices
Probably jobbing them out because all of the brands have been recently tested by Which? and that with Piz Buin, Hawaiian Tropic and Malibu, you may as well just smother yourself in lard for all the good it does.
Oh, well, Ive used it before and had no problem..Which isnt always right........anyway theres always loads of offers in many shops...three for twos in boots for example......Im tempted to try the one you apply just once a day..P20 or something from memory, expensive at around 20-25 quid but might well save lots in the long run
Yep. Pretty simple.
Don't think that will work but it will be great.
some people / researchers have too much time on their hands.....
I will stick with lathering it on....I like being a luddite in my old age
You can pick up a bottle of factor 30 in Aldi for about £3.00 - bargain.
Edit: I've just looked on the manufacturer's website. There, you'll find crap like this:
"Scientific Breakthroughs
Remarkable technology that imprints frequencies (as standing waves) onto water molecules.
Advances in the ability to “stack” thousands of frequencies onto one molecule.
Revolutionary formula allows us to reverse engineer the frequencies of substances found in nature and/or the human body.
Newly identified frequencies that have beneficial effects on the body."
It's harmonised water at £17 a bottle. Or "water", as I prefer to call it.
Sun cream is cheap in the UK anyway - am always amazed how much more it costs abroad.
From consumer watchdog "Which" -
"Calypso Sun Lotion SPF 30 was the cheapest sun cream to pass the consumer watch dog's tests, priced at £1.20 per 100ml (£2.99 for 250ml bottle from Home Bargains)".
You'll be sorry come January when there's four foot of snow outside and the big snow shovel cartels have jacked the price through the roof.
You need to start thinking a few moves ahead.
Only comes in small bottles though, but it still works out cheaper.
