The signal to reapply is triggered by an underlying UV detection layer, which measures the UVA & UVB exposure using photosensitive dyes. While it's important to keep topping up the suncream, here are a few more tips on how we can properly protect ourselves and our little ones from the sun's rays. And with the summer holidays officially here, many families with holidays abroad planned may be wondering how they can keep the little ones sunburn free -and it looks like Boots shoppers have found the answer.

There's another heatwave on the way and, while it's great news for families who want to get out in the sun, it's more important than ever to make sure our kids are cool and topped up with suncream. Dr Sharp says: 'Too much exposure to UV radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer, but we can take steps to reduce the risk.' These include: across the industry. Soltan was the first brand to include 5-star UVA in all our products and continue this today, offering it across every product in our range. We proudly have the biggest range of 5-star UVA products, so whatever format suits you, you can guarantee uncompromised protection. Every single parent will know the struggle that comes with properly protecting your kids against the sun during the summer. No matter how many times you swore that you plastered them in sunscreen, they will still occasionally get a bit of sunburn. At Soltan, we’re serious about sun safety and the impact of short and long-term sun damage. That’s why we’re proudly partnering with Macmillan Cancer Support as their Official Sun Safety Partner, to ensure everyone has access to the information and protection they need to stay safe in the sun.

A 2020 survey by Cancer Research UK found that more than half of UK parents (52%) said that applying sunscreen frequently enough or applying enough of it were among their main challenges when it came to protecting their child in the sun. We’ve created a range of products to suit every skin type and protection need. Soltan Once Advanced 8hr Protect comes in both sprays and lotions and is our most advanced formula yet, giving you up to eight hours of protection from just one application. Our Soltan Once Kids Advanced 3hr Protect & Swim gives your little ones up to three hours to swim safely too! And our Soltan Once Kids Advanced 8hr Protect & Play is perfect for the school day.

Simply add your chosen product to your basket and get it delivered to home or a store of your choice – whichever is more convenient for you. Don't be fooled by cloud. Getting sunburnt doesn't just happen on the hottest days – you can still get burnt when it's cloudy. Choose a good sunscreen. When Which? tested adult SPF30 and kids SPF50 sun creams, we found that some provided reliable protection against UVA and UVB rays and were easy to apply, but others failed to offer the protection they claimed. Don't take any chances – read up on our Best sun creams for 2023. Advice is generally to reapply generously and often, at least every two hours, and after activities such as swimming or where you get sweaty, paying special attention to frequently forgotten or more exposed areas.

How do UV stickers work?

Spend time in the shade. This is especially important between 11am and 3pm, even if you're in the UK, because this is the peak time for getting burnt. Use a gazebo or beach umbrella if you're sitting in the sun. A Mole Scanning Service is offered at selected Boots stores in the UK to help identify any suspicious moles or pigmented lesions you may be concerned about. This service is run by ScreenCancer with assistance from a Boots healthcare team member.

Wear a T-shirt to cover typically over-exposed areas, such as the shoulders, plus a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect your face and eyes. UVA star rating system shows how much protection a product has, and all Boots Soltan sun care comes with five stars, being the highest level.
