This great suntan lotion is perhaps a little more expensive than the average off the shelf product (around £18.00 for 200 ml) but I was happy to pay a little extra for it's benefits and the way it makes me feel.
It's made by Lancaster, a Monaco skincare company, who've been making skincare products for about 60 years. They've been making Suncare products since 1971 and have been researching and developing these since then. This particular lotion has a patent for it's ability to help in the prevention of premature aging by neutralising free radicals.
The lotion is designed to give you soft supple skin ready for tanning and moderate UVA/UVB sun protection. This particular lotion, Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 8, is for skin that rarely burns and tans gradually. I use this factor in the UK for daily use but for holidays abroad I personally would want to use a higher factor in the same range.
Suitable for all skin types, it's lightweight and silky to apply and rubs in easliy without leaving the skin feeling really greasy like some suntan creams I've used. It has a pleasant fragrance and is also water-resistant.
The bright orange bottle has a good, strong flip top and is clearly labelled in bright turquoise writing. This makes it makes it easy to find at the bottom of your beach bag!
Overall, I have been very impressed with this lotion and the other Lancaster products I've purchased. In the past I've used their Pre-Tan Lotion and After Sun and find these great as a treat for a special holiday. Lookout for special offers/bonus packs at Airports or on board ferries.
