Summer is the season where some of our best memories are made; from picnics in the park to playing on the beach. This summer Boots UK has your sun protection needs covered to help you enjoy the sun safely – either at home or abroad.
The NEW Boots Soltan Protect & Moisturise (£4.50) range provides long-lasting moisturisation whilst still ensuring the highest UVA protection*. This light and easily absorbed lotion has been specially formulated to keep skin looking smooth and soft, helping to reduce dryness and prevent peeling. Plus it is water resistant so you can make the most of every beach or pool this summer.
The NEW Soltan Protect & Moisturise Mini Lotion (£3.00) combines the benefit of the new lighter feel formulation with the convenience of a mini tube that is perfect for day trips, minibreaks, festivals and handbags. Available in SPF 15, 30 and 50+ staying protected on-the-go has never been easier.
As with all Soltan products, the Protect & Moisturise range features Boots 5** rating so provides uncompromised protection against the sun’s powerful UVA and UVB rays, meaning you will be protected against burning and the longer-lasting effects of the sun’s harmful rays.
To help ensure that everyone can stay protected this summer, Boots is now offering selected products in the Soltan range from as little as £4.50. This fixed price will apply throughout the summer so there is no need to compromise on enjoying the sun safely.
Clare O’Connor, Sun Care Expert, Boots UK, comments, “While you may think all sun cream has moisturising properties, a sun lotion with added moisturisation can provide better protection for your skin. This is because the addition of a long-lasting moisturiser helps protect the skin’s outer barrier which in turn protects its deeper layers, preventing the long-term signs of damage such as wrinkles and brown spots. Always make sure your sun cream has a 5* UVA rating, as this will help protect skin’s elastic structure and help reduce the signs ageing. Combine with an appropriate SPF for your skin tone and length of exposure as this is what protects you against burning
Clare O’Connor, Sun Care Expert, Boots UK, continues, “It may seem obvious but it is essential to ensure you use the right amount of sun cream, 2-3 full tablespoons on the whole body, and remember to re-apply after swimming or toweling as full protection can be reduced. Always follow the 15 minute rule before sun exposure and apply sun cream in advance to help it fully absorb so your protection is not compromised**.”
