The financial expert has advised anyone buying suncream to turn the bottle over and take a look at the three-letter code on the back. He explains how it works: "As we're racing towards summer, just a quick tip on sunscreen, when you get your sunscreen, turn the bottle around, because on the back, you'll see a PAO number, usually 12 or 24 months. He added: "PAO stands for period after opening, and it's how long the sunscreen is still going to give you protection for once you've opened it. "So then, when you do the what they write that onto the sunscreen and you know if you're trying to use it in a year's time, whether it's still valid or not and not just think that it's too old and you should chuck it.

The skincare experts at Kiehl's warn that the sun protection elements won't be as effective after the product expires. Recommended reading: "Active ingredients break down over time and there's potential for chemicals to alter," they say. "Sunscreen should never be used after its expiration date as it simply won't provide the protection advised and could leave you in danger of sun damage. Expired products will also become full of bacteria and transferring that to your skin might cause redness, a mild rash or an eye infection. "Because of this, expired products need to be discarded. If you have sensitive skin, then you'll want to be extra vigilant."

Morrisons has made a big change to pizza counters as it eyes 20 more stores
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MORRISONS has revealed a major change to several of its pizza counters as it prepares to roll out the new feature to 20 other stores. The popular supermarket chain has announced that it will add digital screens to its pizza counters as part of a major overhaul. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Morrisons has announced a major change to its stores and shoppers are delighted Credit: Getty Images - Getty 2 Shoppers have spotted the pizza ordering screens in Morrisons stores Credit: Facebook/Grumpy Northern Foodie The new service will give customers the ability to create their own pizza, which they can then cook at home. The pizzas will be made by staff while they do the rest of their shopping. Customers will still need to pay for their pizza at a manned till. The screens are currently available at three stores, including Warrington, Gamston and Guiseley and will be rolled out to 20 additional shops soon. Pictures seen by The Sun suggested that shoppers could choose between four pizza bases including 10 inch thin and crispy, 10 inch deep pan, 10 inch gluten free and 14 inch thin and crispy. There were also two cheese options on offer, including mozzarella and a vegan alternative. Hungry shoppers could also choose to add tomato, BBQ or garlic sauce to their pizza and finish it off with four toppings. Additional toppings could also be added for 50p each. Shoppers took to social media to voice their excitement. One customer said: "Perfect, now I can order pineapple pizza without the funny looks." Top things to buy at Morrisons Another said: "Omg we'll have to have a pizza night." While a third added: "50p extra per topping, what a bargain." The news comes after the supermarket launched a major overhaul of its in-store services earlier this year. In March, Morrisons announced that it would close 18 Market Kitchens, 13 florists, 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters and four pharmacies. How to save at Morrisons Buying a delivery pass can slash the cost of shopping online if you're a Morrisons regular. You also get priorities for Christmas delivery slots. How much it costs depends on which you get anytime or mid-week, and if it's for the year, six-months or monthly. You'll need to work out the cost compared to how much you spend on delivery without one to see if it's worthwhile. Morrisons does a range of wonky veg that can work out cheaper than the main range. Check websites like Quidco and TopCashback BEFORE you place your order. Cashback websites PAY you to shop. All you have to do is click through their links and the money is added to your online account. Search for discount codes on websites like and to see if you can get money off at the till. Follow your favourite shops on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and sign up to its deals newsletter to get the latest on any offers. We post the best deals in our Sun Money FB group too. Try switching all of your branded or premium goods for lower level ones and see if you notice the difference. Morrisons regularly adds new products to its 'own-brand "savers" range. This is its value range where prices start from as little as 20p. It includes all sorts of products including peas, spaghetti, marmalade, jaffa cakes and washing up liquid. Swap your usual items for savers alternatives and see if you can tell the difference. Shoppers can earn points with the More Than loyalty scheme when they spend online or in store. How many points you earn will depend on the offers available at the time, plus you get five points for every litre of fuel at Morrisons petrol stations. Reach 5,000 points and you get £5 off your shopping, plus there are other offers and coupons and the checkout and via the app. Shoppers also get cheaper prices that are just for members. The shake-up was rolled out over the following months and put 365 workers at risk of redundancy. It also closed 17 smaller Morrisons Daily branches. Rami Baitieh, chief executive of Morrisons, said that the plans would 'reinvigorate' the supermarket and allow it to invest in other parts of the business. He added: "In most locations the Morrisons Café has a bright future, but a minority have specific local challenges and in those locations, regrettably, closure and re-allocation of the space is the only sensible option. 'Market Street is a beacon of differentiation for Morrisons and we remain committed to it. "But as we modernise we are making some necessary changes to the areas of the model which are simply uneconomic.' The supermarket last month revealed that it will shift towards selling more premium products as part of an overhaul of the brand. The new project, called 'Morrisons Magic' aims to improve customers' experiences. The chain's launch of 'Market Street' is also part of plans to modernise the brand. Morrisons will focus on farm shop-style products, such as value-added items including foil trays for sauced, marinate, breaded and ready-to-cook fish. The supermarket hopes that Market Street will be more accessible and will attract more amateur home cooks. Morrisons also announced a huge change to its loyalty scheme last month. Shoppers can now earn More Points when they're not shopping at the supermarket thanks to its brand new perk. Morrisons More Card holders can collect points with more than 300 popular brands including eBay, Just Eat, Expedia, Asos and Very. The Morrisons More Card already enables shoppers to bank points on selected products by scanning their More Card or app. Once 5,000 More Points are collected shoppers will be given a Morrisons Fiver, a £5 voucher that they can redeem on their next shop in store or online. Previously shoppers could only get the points when shopping in Morrisons. The change means that customers can now get rewards on all their shopping, including takeaways, gadgets, holidays and clothes. What else is happening at supermarkets? Asda has revealed a major shake up across 180 of its in-store cafes this week as it introduces new digital ordering screens. The chain will begin the makeover this month and all works will be completed by the end of October. The 180 cafes, managed by Compass Group, will be upgraded to include new digital ordering screens, where shoppers can choose which food and drinks they want. Customers will also be able to order from their tables or via staffed tills. It will also introduce several new menu items including smashed avocado on toast, katsu chicken curry, topped salad bowls and wraps. Shoppers will also be able to buy full 12 inch pizzas or single pizzas slices from the cafes for the first time too. Meanwhile, Iceland will close two stores in days in a blow to the high street. The frozen food specialist is shutting a location in Margate, Kent, on June 21. A further branch will close for good in Inverness, Scotland, on July 12. Staff at both branches have been offered roles at surrounding stores 'where possible'. Earlier this month M&S revealed it is bringing back shopping after weeks of issues. The posh supermarket was forced to suspend its online shopping after it was hit by a massive cyber attack. You can now place orders online with standard delivery to England, Scotland and Wales. Delivery to Northern Ireland will resume in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Click & Collect, next-day delivery, nominated day delivery and international ordering will return in the coming weeks.
