Malibu High Protection Water Resistant Vitamin Enriched SPF 50 Sun-Screen Lotion Spray with Shea Butter Extract, 200ml

Product Information

THERE'S nothing worse than discovering sore sunburns after a day in the sun, but the best sun creams will keep you protected from UV rays, while also delivering benefits to the skin.

It’s also water-resistant, although it doesn’t specify for how long. Altruist is a broad-spectrum sunscreen, offering both UVA and UVB protection. We love that it’s cruelty-free, vegan and even coral-friendly. You can also use it on children over two years old. This is definitely one we'll be using again. We couldn’t believe the price of this sunscreen when we saw it as its amazing value for a huge size. Altruist was developed by a skin cancer surgeon and consultant dermatologist, so it has impeccable credentials. Each bottle contains about six full applications for an average adult, so even though you'd need to buy a fair few bottles to last you throughout the summer, it's still pretty cheap. Aldi sells this product in SPF 15, SPF 30 and SPF 50, and also make a kid-friendly version that is SPF50+ and is slightly grey tinted to show you where it has been applied and ensure full coverage. The lotion is water-resistant but doesn’t state for how long, and it’s reef friendly. However, the 100ml bottle isn’t going to last long if you use it on the whole family though.

If you're looking for a sun cream for oily skin, SuperGoop's Unseen Sunscreen will become your best friend. With SPF 30, it's an invisible, lightweight formula that won't clog the skin and will keep it protected all day long. Formulated with skincare in mind, not only does it give you full protection against UVA and UVB rays, it delivers major benefits to the skin. It's a lightweight mist that you spray over your makeup to top up your SPF and treat your cells with skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide, Vitamin C and E, and aloe vera. It’s fragrance-free so suitable for sensitive skin, and it contains no parabens or sulphates. It’s also cruelty-free and reef friendly, but we were a little disappointed to see that it only offers 3-star UVA protection. Both the adult and kids versions of this spray contain the humectant glycerin, meaning they all have hydrating and moisturising properties too.

While the product is supposed to be fragrance-free, we could detect a subtle scent that was reminiscent of sunshine and holidays, but in a demure kind of way. This one is also water resistant, but not sure for how long, so we reapplied it after swimming to ensure full coverage. It’s fragrance-free and offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, for an affordable price. If you like to spend your holidays in the pool or sea, then the Bondi Sands Hydra UV Protect is perfect as it’s water resistant for up to four hours (Bondi recommends you reapply after two hours when swimming). It also contains ethically sourced algae to keep your skin hydrated. Pros: SPF 30, UVA and UVB protection, lightweight, non-greasy, dewy glow, hydrating, no white cast, holds your makeup in place

This one is also fragrance-free but it’s got a subtle coconut fragrance. It contains moisturising vitamin E so the skin feels hydrated throughout the day. We love that it’s water-resistant for four hours so if you forget to reapply after swimming you’re still protected. The lotion is also cruelty-free and reef friendly. However, it only offers 3-star UVA protection.

Above all, it's important to note that this SPF is factor 30 and protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Pros: Available in factors 15, 30 and 50, absorbs fast, fine mist, UVA and UVB protection, lightweight, no white cast, affordable, rubs in easily, kids version is coloured to make the application more thoroughIt protects you against both UVA and UVB rays but has larger molecules than regular SPFs so doesn't seep through to the deeper layers of your skin. The benefit of this? You're far less likely to have a sensitised response or breakout as a result of using this sun cream on your face.

This SPF goes above just UV protection, it has triple resistance. This means it protects your skin against aggressors like chlorine and sea and salt water, too. It's also sweat and water-resistant too, which means you're less likely to be reapplying constantly. Pros: SPF 50, doesn't pill, absorbs fast, UVA and UVB protection, oil-free, lightweight, doesn't clog pores, no white cast, contains moisturising ingredients Paula's Choice is a brand loved for its exfoliants and serums, and this brand-new SPF is bound to be a hit amongst beauty fans and regular folk alike. Coola's sunscreen spray is hands down the most pleasurable, luxurious sunscreen out there. We've been using this brand's products for at least four years, and it's our go-to for everything from beach holidays to pub garden days.We tested both of these out on a weekend seaside break during the UK heatwave and can confirm that, even though it feels as if you're wearing nothing on your skin, this SPF spray really will protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays and pollution damage for hours on end. Just make sure you're applying liberally and reapplying every couple of hours (or more frequently if you're swimming or sweating heavily).
