Calypso Once a Day Sun Protection Lotion with SPF 30

Product Information

Reapply sunscreen after swimming, sweating heavily, towel drying, or rubbing your skin in a way that might cause the cream to rub off. Once a Day SPF40 Sun Protection (150ml) is water resistant so only one application is needed for the whole day. I bought it for my children but I now use it too and I never burn on holiday and still get a great tan!

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. We've raised concerns about this before, and it's disappointing to see leading brands still pushing family versions of these products. Boots Soltan Kids Once, Calypso Once a Day and Riemann P20 Once a Day are among the brands we've found claiming to offer all day protection. All i would say is try to work fast and don’t overwork it into your skin or rub too much over bits you’ve already done, or it can ‘ball up’ and leave little bits on the skin. This changed my whole holiday experience as since using I have never burnt or even gone red but gained a beautiful sun kissed colour would highly recommend 👍 .A spokesperson added: 'As with all sunscreens, it is important to follow the instructions for application and use; and sunscreen should not be used to intentionally stay longer in the sun.

Only UVB causes burning, but both types damage our skin, so good sunscreens should protect against both. 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 SPF20 2 Pack?

For the time I have used it I've not had any problems and my advice to anyone using it is to follow the instructions on how to apply. But take a look at the small print on the back of the bottle, and it becomes clear that these all day protection claims come with a list of crucial caveats. Calypso SPF products meet all UVA and UVB standards and are rigorously tested to ensure their effectiveness. We asked Boots a series of questions about its Once sun cream range and asked it to respond to our concerns about 'once a day' claims.
