Best sunscreen deals on our tried and tested favourites
Sunscreen is essential, but it can be surprisingly expensive. If you're stocking up on sunscreen for a family holiday, you'll know that packing enough SPF to keep everyone safe can soon add up. The good news is that sunscreen is often available on sale. Whether you need a body sunscreen to pack in your suitcase this summer or a reliable SPF moisturiser to wear all year round, there are plenty of deals to be found on some of our favourite tried and tested formulas. We've rooted through the best deals at Boots, Amazon, Lookfantastic and more to bring you the best offers. This will ensure that you never have to pay full price for your sun protection. If you're heading off on holiday soon, don't wait until you're at the airport to buy your sunscreen. Prices are often higher airside, so if you're checking in a suitcase, stock up before you travel. You might be tempted to buy travel-sized sunscreens if you're only travelling with hand luggage. However, you'll likely end up paying more per 100ml, and if you use the recommended amount (six to eight teaspoons to cover your whole body), you may need to top up while on holiday. Our top tip is to use the Boots airside click and collect service. You'll have to pay a £4.50 fee and select a delivery date at least three days before you fly, but this gives you the chance to make full use of Boots' wide range of online sunscreen offers. Keep scrolling for the best deals on body and face sunscreens. We'll be keeping this page updated throughout the summer, so you can bookmark it and return it when you need to stock up on SPF. If you're looking for a sunscreen to take on your family holiday, you can't go wrong with our best sunscreen for kids from La Roche Posay's trusty anthelios range. Our tester found that the spray 'wasn't greasy and sank in very quickly with no ghostly white faces'. It also suited her kids' sensitive skin, causing no irritation. For a limited time, you can get 35 per cent off the kids' sunscreen at Amazon, and you won't find it cheaper elsewhere. The 200ml bottle lasted our tester a month when using it with her three children and with multiple reapplications, so it's the perfect size to pack in your suitcase. For an extra boost of hydration, we're big fans of this sunscreen lotion from Hawaiian Tropic. Thanks to the addition of cocoa and shea butter, our tester found that 'it sinks in quickly and leaves the skin feeling supple and nourished'. We named it our best budget body sunscreen, and now at Amazon, you can get it at more than half off. If you want to stock up on more Hawaiian Tropic SPF products, you can also find the range reduced by up to half price at Boots. Right now at Boots, you can save 20 per cent on selected Ultrasun sunscreens, including our best body sunscreen, the Ultrasun extreme SPF50. Our tester praised the 'lightweight' cream for absorbing quickly into the skin, which made it easy to reapply throughout the day. Boots isn't the only retailer to reduce the price of the sunscreen. You can also snap up the deal at Sephora and Amazon. This 'invisible' sunscreen spray makes reapplication a breeze, thanks to its non-sticky formula and easy-to-use nozzle. Our tester loved its classic coconut scent, too. Now at Boots, you can get it for 20 per cent off. If you miss out on this offer, head to Amazon, where you can find it for the same price. We're big fans of Sol de Janeiro's SPF range at Indybest, so we're pleased to see that its radiance body spray has 35 per cent off at Cult Beauty. The SPF spray has Sol de Janeiro's signature coconut scent and comes out as a mist, which our beauty writer, Lucy, said 'keeps the SPF targeted at your body'. She added, 'It felt light yet moisturising and left a flattering sheen.' Our best sunscreen for acne-prone skin now has more than a third off at Amazon, but as one of the online retailer's limited-time offers, the deal isn't set to be around for long. The lightweight formula was 'neither too oily nor too matte' for our tester, and she found it blended easily into her skin. The 50ml bottle is also the perfect size to fit in your hand luggage this summer. Another fantastic sunscreen for acne-prone skin is Heliocare's oil-free gel SPF, which we named our best face sunscreen. After adding it to her daily routine, our tester found that it survived 'several sweaty workouts' and layered beautifully under make-up. Right now, you can save 25 per cent on the brand at Boots and Lookfantastic, making it the perfect time to stock up. We've also spotted a 30 per cent discount on one of our favourite SPF moisturisers from Fenty. Our beauty writer, Lucy, described the SPF30 as 'creamy, lightweight and thirst-quenching for dehydrated skin' and praised its 'soothing and healing' ingredients. The savings don't stop there either. Once you've got to the end of the sunscreen, you can buy a refill, which is around £5 cheaper than buying it brand new. We've also spotted a deal on the TikTok-viral sun rice SPF50 from Beauty of Joseon, with Lookfantastic offering 20 per cent off. I've used this SPF for a few months now and can attest to its hydrating and nourishing claims. I've found that it doesn't disrupt make-up or leave a white cast on my warm skin tone. Lucy recommends this Garnier SPF50 fluid for those who don't like the feeling of a heavy sunscreen against their skin. She found that 'it doesn't pill' and that the ingredients 'work to absorb excess oil on your skin throughout the day'. Boots currently has a third off selected Garnier products, but we've got a handy tip to help you slash the price even further. If you use the discount code SUN20, you'll get an additional 20 per cent off, bringing it down to £6.93. We're big fans of CeraVe, including its SPF50 facial moisturising lotion. While lots of SPF moisturisers focus on oil-control, Lucy wrote that 'it was refreshing to see ceramides included' for dry skin types. Amazon has slashed the price of the SPF lotion by almost 45 per cent, bringing it to less than £9. You won't find it this cheap anywhere else at the moment, but as it's a limited-time offer, you don't have long to snap it up.

Secret product Sabrina Carpenter uses to achieve her ‘rosy cheeks' look available at Lookfantastic
Secret product Sabrina Carpenter uses to achieve her 'rosy cheeks' look available at Lookfantastic Sabrina's make-up artist recently shared how she achieves her signature 'baby-doll blush' look Sabrina Carpenter at The Brit Awards 2025 (Image: 2025 Neil Mockford - Getty ) If you've ever wondered how Sabrina Carpenter achieves her signature 'baby-doll blush' look that's got everyone talking then you've come to the right place. Sabrina's make-up artist Carolina Gonzalez, who also works with Gigi Hadid, Camila Mendes, and Blake Lively to give them their instantly-recongisable looks, recently shared which blush Sabrina uses. The Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tints in the shades Bold Pink and Delicate Mauve are what the Espresso singer has been going for and you don't need to look to far or spend hundreds to create this glam look as you can actually get it on sites like Lookfantastic and Boots for £37. According to Boots it creates a just-pinched healthy cheeks finish. Its watercolour transformative technology is also inspired by the Armani lipstick formulation that combines intense colour with lightweight blendability. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter. The Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tints (Image: Getty ) Shoppers have also been raving about what they love about one of Sabrina's go-to beauty buys and there are more than a thousand five-star reviews at Boots. One person wrote: 'I love the formula, it's super smooth and blends out super easy. 'The colour is perfect for a summer glow, and even for my paler skin colour! I love it and will make it a staple in my natural makeup routine.' Another happy shopper said: 'This blush is beautiful! The product blends nicest and is buildable with a nice colour pay off. 'It gives a nice soft glow that is perfect for everyday wear or going out. 'It has great staying power and no scent, so it is a good blush even for those with sensitive skin (or noses). 'I have stopped wearing highlighter and just use this as if it looks much better! I highly recommend this product!' Not everyone was as impressed, though, with one person noting: 'The packaging is iconic for the brand. I wanted to love this, but there isn't that much pigment. It is super blendable and I didn't really get any scent, but I just really can't see it on my skin. It is very glowy but not too pink.' Yet lots of people were still obsessed. Someone else said: 'I was hesitant to try this and was not sure I would like it as I have never used liquid blush. 'I was wrong. The colour is perfect for me. I use this after my liquid foundation prior to applying setting powder and it is beautiful. 'A little goes a long way. Blends like a dream and the pigmentation is amazing.' Another similar blusher you could buy is Victoria Beckham's Cheeky Posh Cream Blush Stick for £39. There's also the Backstage Rosy Glow for £35 which you can buy at Dior.

‘Magic' de-frizzing hair cream allows you to skip blow-drying in hot weather
This handy hair styling product is a must for the hot weather, taming frizz and flyaways without the need for heated tools like hair dryers and curling tongs When the weather's hot, like the current heatwave we're experiencing, blow drying, straightening or tonging your hair is probably the last thing you feel like doing, but leaving it to air dry can end up in a frizzy (or flat) mess. Luckily, we've found a product that controls frizz and flyaways without the need for heat, leaving your hair looking its natural best. Living Proof Style Lab Air-Dry Styler, £27, is a lightweight cream designed to be smoothed through damp hair. Its magic ingredients are an algae-based polymer and bentonite clay, which work to smooth, define and enhance your hair's natural texture as it air-dries without any crunchiness, allowing you to skip the hair dryer; ideal for holidays or heatwaves. Air-Dry Styler is proving popular with shoppers with all different hair types – from curly to straight – with many saying how it saves them time on drying their hair, and how soft it makes hair feel. "I have gone through dozens of curly hair products and feel like I've finally found the one!" one Lookfantastic customer wrote. "So easy to use, just apply it after the shower and watch the magic happen as your hair dries flawlessly. 10/10 unreal!" "I absolutely love this product – I don't have to waste time drying my hair and it leaves my hair looking shiny and healthy!" another agreed. While many of the users love this Living Proof product on their curly hair, it also works well on straight hair, as one person wrote: "This is perfect for my hair, which is naturally straight but get quite frizzy when I leave it to air dry. This treatment leaves my hair so silky and smooth, I don't need to do any further styling to it once its dry!" One customer, however, was "on the fence" about this, writing that "I'm not 100% on this. It kind of makes my hair feel dry and in need of a wash. It does stop frizz and dries very quickly. It might just be my hair type which is fine and quite thin." If this sounds like your hair type too and you're worried about your strands looking greasy or limp, you might want to skip the styling products altogether, and instead get as much water out of your hair first by using an extra-absorbent towel such as this Noughty Hair Towel, currently £9.79, then twisting and tying it up out of the way. Cute claw clips like these ones are hugely popular right now, and you can't go wrong with an oversized scrunchie.
