It appears that advice on how long to spend in the sun "is worthless" because different parts of the body tan at different rates. You will be pleased to hear that bottoms take longer than other parts. Today's Guardian web page has changed its photo from the paper edition. Guess why?

hi, does anyone know where i can still buy sun cream/lotion and aftersun from? Have got half we need for our holiday to Goa in december, but as we are there for 8 weeks it won't be enough. Have looked in Boots and Wilkinsons - none at all as their filling the shelves with xmas stuff now.

Please can someone help me, thanks :) :sun2

OK I have left it too late I know but I thought we had more suncream left from last year.... :whoops I usually buy it from tesco/Avon nice and cheap but cant find any anywhere now.. hardly surprising I guess as its nearly November! Any ideas where I may still get some, have looked on Ebay but its pretty slim pickings..

Do you have a homebargains near you? if so I was in ours yesterday and they had loads left but I suppose it depends if other stores have it too.

Found some!! :tup My local Tesco had some in their clearance section (must have been clearing out old stock because it definately hasnt been there before and its a really small store) Anyway Ambre Solaire reduced to £3 bargain!

Just bought my suntan lotion for my next holiday, 8 bottles all brand names (l'oreal , ambre soliare, johnsons and nivea), most expensive was £1.75 a bottle all for the bargain price of £11. Tesco were having a huge clear out and coud'nt resist grabbing a bargain!! :tup

hi, thanks for the replies when i posted in september about where to get sun cream from. Guess what though - Boots have their own one Soltan now on sale and its with the insect repellant in, but even better its on buy one get one free offer too. They have factors 50, 30, 15 and 8 on sale. Funny though as it definitely wasn't there in september, maybe its for the ski season. This was last saturday and think i will get some more this weekend for our next holiday while its on offer. Off to Goa in four weeks time and only had half our supply, sorted now :)

I think they're recommended to be at their best for 12 months after they've been opened. I keep mine for two summers but then get rid. They've always worked fine. Most have got a sumbol stating for how long they are effective after opening.
