Anyone know where the cheapest place is to buy suntan lotion at the moment? I need a range of factors (including 50). I have access to most shops, just not very big branches of any of them, thanks.

Hi Sherrard,
Just a word of warning. I thought I'd been very clever a while back when I bought about 16 bottles of sun lotion that Wilkinson's were selling at "75% off marked price". I thought I wouldn't need to buy sun lotion for another two or three years at least. When I was trumpeting my purchase to my neighbour he pointed out that sun lotion has an expiry date on - and mine were about to run out! It appears that sun lotion deteriorates with age then it loses it's effectiveness. I've since thrown most of it out to be on the safe side.

I`m not sure whether the expiry date is just a marketing ploy though. It`s only in recent years that sun lotions have put expiry dates on the bottles. They never used to bother. I have taken 4 year old sun lotion bottles away to really hot places and used them without any problems. I would be careful about some lesser known brands though. I remember when I was home on the SW coast and the local news told about a family of holidaymakers who were on a Cornish beach with their 6 year old daughter. They had a bottle of chemist`s own brand SPF 8 sun lotion. The kid got really burnt and ended up in hospital. When the lotion was sent away for analysis, it turned out the lotion was SPF2.
I have used some recently 237SJ and it seemed to work. I take your point about marketing ploys as I wouldn't be surprised. My father's had three operations for skin cancer on his scalp though (he was in the airlines and they didn't know the dangers of the sun years ago) so I'm quite careful as a result.
