Calypso Once a Day Sun Protection Lotion with SPF 30

Product Information

It is a once a day application IF you don't go swimming and then towel down therefore I re-apply or go swimming last thing - it's your choice . My first day I rubbed it all over my face and my eyes watered all day but from then I just avoided my eye area and it was great. The letters "UVA" inside a circle is a European industry standard marking, which is contained on all Calypso products. Our Once a Day Sun Protection only needs to be applied to the skin once and protects you all day long. Use in the water - Claims to maintain 'intact' protection levels even after 4 x 20 minute sessions in the water.

Pay attention to commonly missed or heavily exposed areas such as the head, nose, ears, eyelids, back of the neck, shoulders, and around the edges of your swimwear. Its a cool gel that absorbs readily - you have to wait to go into the sun for 15 minutes according to the instructions but this is not a big issue as you can be getting ready meanwhile to go out.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.

Professor Brian Diffey recommends applying sun cream like you would paint to a wall - you'd rarely just do one coat. Since our 2016 investigation, the CTPA has advised brands to voluntarily stop making 'once a day' claims and move towards using the word 'durable' instead.I tan easily, and don't usually burn in the UK, so when I go to the Med in September I'm usually fairly well tanned already. SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and represents the sunscreen’s ability to protect your skin from the sun’s rays in addition to your skin’s natural protection. 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.

But while some brands - including Piz Buin and Riemann - have phased out the use of 'once a day' on packaging in the UK, others, such as Boots, have not. The use of the word durable, she added, aims to communicate its long lasting characteristics without 'promising [a] full day protection guarantee, with no need for reapplication.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.
