Calypso Once a Day Sun Protection Lotion with SPF 10

Product Information

Constantly re-applying sun cream when you're out and about can be a real chore, especially if you're trying to keep wriggly kids protected. I often receive comments from people saying ‘you’re Asian, you don’t have to worry about sun protection’, but that’s a common misconception. The Calypso Once A Day range offers effective, highly water resistant sun care products that provide UVA/UVB protection. Of all the all-day lotions I've used over the years, I've found this to be the most easy to apply, and doesn't smell too bad, like some do. At the time, the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA) criticised our use of t-shirts.

Back of pack instructions say you need to apply the sun cream generously 15 minutes before sun exposure and re-apply after towel drying or 'coming into contact with an abrasive surface'. Sweating, swimming, towel drying, or rubbing your skin on an abrasive surface can all impact protection levels and how the sunscreen lasts.I guess its not as easy to see where you have put it but if you rub it in fast you know where youve done and not done. Staying protected is vital, but you don't want to keep topping up your sun cream, so why not try the Calypso Once A Day SPF10 2 Pack? It's clear that there are plenty of conditions to fulfil to get the claimed protection from once-a-day products, which may be hard to achieve if you're on a day out in the sun.

I've never been brave enough to try using this for the full day while on holiday in sweltering hot sun and have applied sun cream after 6 hours to be on the safe side. You might have guessed that I love being in the sun, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin is one of nature’s best cheerer uppers, but it’s also really important to me to enjoy the sun in a safe and healthy way (my friends and family will tell you I’m always making sure they’ve got sun protection).Use in the water - Calypso warns that even ‘water-resistant Once A Day sunscreens’ can still be washed off if you spend a long time in the water, or if you dry yourself with a towel. They were allowed to wear t-shirts and sit on a chair (we did this because if you lie on a sun lounger or towel, get sandy, or wear a t-shirt on holiday it’s possible your single-use sunscreen could be rubbed off over time). You will need to dry your skin before reapplying sunscreen, unless you’re using our Calypso Dry Oil Wet Skin Spray. Apply this lotion to clean, dry skin at least 15 minutes before sun exposure, allowing time for the product to bond with the skin and form the protective layer. Calypso SPF products meet all UVA and UVB standards and are rigorously tested to ensure their effectiveness.

This product has been a life saver for me literally and i really hope they never discontinue it or change the ingredients! The whole range is rigorously tested to ensure that it still offers the SPF stated after 8 hours of wear.I used the factor 20 for a trip to Greece in April and I didn't burn and ended up with a lovely tan - I've found my preferred brand of sunscreen and can't see that I'll change any time soon! After several hours we retested each sunscreen’s SPF and saw a shocking 74% average decrease in protection. I tried Calypso and didn't get burnt but my skin felt as though it was burning during the day so I went back to P20 spf20. I’d picked up Calypso Once a Day Sun Lotion after a lovely travel and beauty blogger recommended it at the Blogosphere Lush Beauty School event (in fact the very girl next to me in the photo). I used to get burned quite easily and then discovered Calypso Dry Spray which really worked for me and then changed to this to be sure my protection lasted all day - and IT DOES!

Pay attention to commonly missed or heavily exposed areas such as the head, nose, ears, eyelids, back of the neck, shoulders, and around the edges of your swimwear. We made multiple attempts to get in touch with Calypso, but the brand did not respond to any of our questions or send us a comment. Professor Brian Diffey, of BAD, says: 'We recommend against relying on any sunscreen product for long periods without reapplication, whether advertised as an extended wear product, or not. You can also try our handy, pocket-size Once a Day Sachets to stay protected while you are on the move.My first day I rubbed it all over my face and my eyes watered all day but from then I just avoided my eye area and it was great. Don't just rely on sunscreen either: use clothing, hats, sunglasses to cover up, and seek shade, particularly when the sun is strongest, between 11am and 3pm - regardless of whether you are wearing sun cream. All of this means you’ll almost certainly need to apply more than just ‘once a day’, especially if you're out and about. Calypso Once A Day lotion is a water-resistant non-greasy formula offering proection against both UVA and UVB rays.
