Malibu Sun SPF 4 Lotion, Low Protection Sun Cream, Water Resistant, Vitamin Enriched, 200ml

Product Information

Do not spend any longer in the sun than you would without sunscreen. What are the SPF and star rating? The UV star rating is not used in all countries andin factsome countries have no such rating system for UVA protection. Some products will have PA system (often used in Japan) and some will use the term “Broadspectrum” as in the US. These are the rays that are mostly responsible for sunburn and skin reddening. They don’t penetrate as deeply as UVA rays, but they’re just as damaging. They play a large part in the development of skin cancers including melanoma.

Babies less than six months old should be kept out of direct sunlight, according to the NHS, and the skin of young children should be protected from the sun when UV levels are high. Take extra care to protect babies and children. Their skin is much more sensitive than adult skin, and damage caused by repeated exposure to sunlight could lead to skin cancer developing in later life.

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. This tends to mean that two commonly used chemical UV filters linked to coral bleaching – oxybenzone and octinoxate – aren’t used. 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. It goes without saying that you need protection from both UVA and UVB in your sun protection, and, thankfully, almost all of today’s sun creams offer this. How do you know? Look for the words ‘broad spectrum’ on the bottle.

For any product to provide the SPF it claims, you need to apply 2mg per square cm – which means around a teaspoonful of product for your face. And, just as with sun cream, it needs to be reapplied regularly. Cathryn has hidradenitis suppurativa. She explains how she was diagnosed and what living with the condition means to her now.

You can burn in the UK, even when it's cloudy.In 2017 there were approximately 14,000 new cases of melanoma and 147,000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancers. Melanoma and certain non–melanoma skin cancer can be fatal. The cases of melanoma have dramatically increased over the years. The sun emits ultraviolet radiation in the form of UVA and UVB (also UVC which does not reach the earth surface). Years of research has confirmed that both these rays can cause melanoma and non- melanoma skin cancers. Sunscreen successfully prevents most of these rays from reaching our skin and thus reducing our risk of skin cancer. Spray sunscreen: Sprays are used mostly for their convenience however these should be sprayed onto the skin until it appears wet and then rubbed in with your hands – so actually, if used correctly, it may not be as convenient as you would imagine. They should also not be sprayed directly on the face or the head. There are some concerns with regards to children breathing in the spray particles however more research is needed into whether this is harmful or not. UVC: This has the shortest wavelength and is the most damaging type, however it is completely filtered by the atmosphere and therefore does not reach the earth surface. About 67% of British people do not use enough sunscreen. Overall for adults an amount that is equivalent to a full shot glass is adequate. 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.
