Helpfully, LOOKFANTASTIC has ‘scrapped’ the VAT tax on suncare, offering 20% off all SPF- but even better than that, TIM followers get 25% off plus an extra 6% off when using code THISISMOTHERSHIP at checkout. That’s a whopping discount off SPF’s in this list**

THE ONE FOR ‘ON THE GO’:

THE ONE RECOMMENDED BY SAM’S DERMATOLOGIST
CLICK TO SHOP: Eucerin Sun Face Oil Control Sun Gel-Cream Dry Touch SPF50+
Dr Justine Kluk recommended this to me last summer, when I was struggling with skin issues and hand on heart, I think it’s my favourite formula ever. An everyday facial sunscreen with a gel-based formula, developed specifically for oily, breakout-prone skin types. The matte finish formula isn’t just a joy to wear under make-up, it’s enriched with antioxidant licochalcone A while glycyrrhetinic acid visibly brightens and nourishes the skin.

Specifically formulated for children’s delicate skin, it rubs in easily, doesn’t stain clothes, doesn’t sting eyes and isn’t greasy. Sweat, sand and water-resistant, remember to always re-apply, especially after swimming or towelling. 100% trustworthy.
