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.
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.However, SPF only measures UVB protection, so you have to check to make sure your sunscreen offers UVA protection too. Useable on face but don't get near or into eyes and hold your breath while applying to face as fumes are quite strong.
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). While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it to be accurate, it is not a substitute for reading the product packaging and label prior to use. 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. A spokesperson told us that all of its sun creams are designed for 'longevity' but that it found the use of the word 'durable' more 'appropriate' than once a day. Reapply sunscreen after swimming, sweating heavily, towel drying, or rubbing your skin in a way that might cause the cream to rub off.
Formula conforms to European recommendation for protection against the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays. A spokesperson said: 'Soltan Once products clearly state how they should be used and when to reapply. Will be throwing the rest away and the other bottle - cant take the risk - and would definitely not recommend.
After several hours we retested each sunscreen’s SPF and saw a shocking 74% average decrease in protection. The range consists of five products ranging from SPF10 to SPF50+ and we recommend our Once a Day SPF40for kids as it is suitable for their delicate skin. Our Calypso Once A Day range is rigorously tested to ensure that even after 8 hours of wear, it still offers the SPF on the label.
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. I found the Calypso a lot less greasy than the other one - it didn't feel like I'd varnished myself after applying it. Try our Kids Disappearing Coloured Blue Lotion Spraywhich contains a unique blue colour that vanishes when rubbed into the skin to ensure your kids get maximum protection from the sun. The association estimates most of us only apply half of this amount, which means we're often less protected than we think we are.
