Let's get my crystal ball out - ooh it's going to be a piss-dull day of "Ms Lamellar Stripey Tights" and her custard yellow shoes popping up like the fusion of a Jack-in-the box and some crazy TV evangelist, touting a collection of overpriced, overrated suncare products (laced with oil, emulsifiers and aluminium). I predict it will be some family-sized bottles of SPF 30, also available in a tinted / sports gel variant, and with one little Ultralip and a huge vat of aftersun you won't use in your lifetime. Normal price = £120. TSV price = £38.97.

Boots will have Soltan on offer. They always do around this time of year - been buying it for years and it's never let me down.
 
I have now discovered a brand called Calypso they have a range of 'once a day' products and tan enhaners priced £6-7 per bottle, great reviews on Amazon if anyone may be interested. Great prices in Wilko
 
Have I seen Calypso in Aldi I the past? I have some Ultrasun in my stash but am on the lookout for new, just as good but cheaper brands.I will not be listening to ‘ I want you to’ Cleeves.

I love Calypso stuff - I've never burned whilst using it and it's such good value!

Malibu is another great brand and this online pharmacy can't be beaten on price

Julius! Do I detect a double dromedary? You are a wee bit cross these days.

I won't be buying this. Morrisons Factor 50 for a few quid is fine for my very sun sensitive skin.

I think that Aldi sell Calypso seasonally. I stocked up in Wilko for my next hols and had a chance to test it - so far I was impressed that it's non-greasy, even the tanning oils, and the prices are unbelievable. The aftersun was £3 for a half litre pump bottle and the pump has a lock; one can use it as moisturiser all year round, and it's non-greasy. I also contacted Calypso CS and they were brilliant.
 
Interesting, I have been wondering about Malibu for a long time now but didn't dare to try it.

Marina, I have light, neutral toned skin which does eventually go brown but I can burn very easily if I don't use a high enough SPF - both these brands have served me very well in some pretty hot and sunny places, so I would highly recommend.

Also, as someone who gets bitten to b*ggery, the Malibu aftersun with insect repellent is AMAZING!

Thanks Tarketta, Malibu is now on my list to try it next! Is this as non-greasy as Calypso though?

I've only used the dry oil continuous spray from the Malibu range which I don't think feels greasy and the aftersun is a sort of cooling gel - the only downside to the continuous spray is that the bottle does get used up quite quickly.

I am looking for a new high factor face cream.I have used Ultrasun Anti pigmentation Factor 50 & have still had new pigmentation marks which I am prone to.Maybe these spots have been ‘in the making’ for some time & their appearance is part of the aging process?

Poundstretcher has Malibu at the moment inclusive of the mosquito after sun, albeit a small bottle 100 ml but no pnp and at terrific prices (most products £1)
I tried the mosquito after sun on the recommendation here and it was excellent! Got bitten once in a couple of weeks and I think must've failed to cover that area, also the areas I did not apply it to were very dry and it was also an excellent moisturiser. It's very hard to come by it in the shops and was only available online when I was looking for it earlier this year

I could not decide between the Malibu & the Calypso after sun with insect repellent. Went for the Calypso, still got bitten, will try the Malibu one next time.
