Calypso Once a Day Sun Protection Lotion with SPF 10

Product Information

This light and non-greasy formulation has gentle moisturisers, which replenish natural oils lost by exposure to sun, wind and water. Apply a generous amount of sun cream - around one teaspoon per body part - at least 15 minutes before you go into the sun so it soaks in. Being one that goes trekking wherever I go I don't need to be reapplying creams and I need to be confident I wont get burnt. My skin is v-e-r-y pale and I don't tan easily - one time I applied a layer of fake tan before heading over to Egypt and while others were getting browner I was getting paler lol!

Professor Brian Diffey adds that sun creams generally offer ‘very good’ water resistance these days (though be aware water resistance claims also come with caveats, and the products we tested didn't hold up well to real-life conditions in our 2016 investigation), which is good if you're planning on spending time in the pool or in the sea. I’d apply it after I’d showered and moisturised (don’t apply to wet skin) and let it sink in for a few moments before I got dressed. Made in Manchester home of tropical sun and white sandy beaches along the shores of a crystal clear canal.

They were allowed to wear t-shirts and sit on a chair (we did this because if you lie on a sun lounger or towel, get sandy, or wear a t-shirt on holiday it’s possible your single-use sunscreen could be rubbed off over time). I used the factor 30 in Colombia and it did exactly as advertised - provided non-greasy all day protection from one application. You can also try our handy, pocket-size Once a Day Sachets to stay protected while you are on the move.

I'm sorry, but I wasn't impressed with Calypso and although nominally cheaper, a large tube of it did not last a week for the two of us.

The British Association of Dermatologists says when using lotions, you should aim to apply at least six full teaspoons to cover the body of an average adult and should apply it at least 15 minutes before heading out in the sun so it can sink in. Boots Soltan Kids Once, Calypso Once a Day and Riemann P20 Once a Day are among the brands we've found claiming to offer all day protection. I tried Calypso and didn't get burnt but my skin felt as though it was burning during the day so I went back to P20 spf20.First time users and those with a pale complexion or sensitive skin are advised to re-apply Calypso Once A Day ten minutes after initial application to ensure full coverage.

The water-resistant, non-greasy formula provides protection against UVA and UVB rays which lasts for 8 hours. However, please remember that even water-resistant Once A Day sunscreens can still be washed off if you spend a long time in the water or if you dry yourself with a towel, so you might need to reapply.It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without Wm Morrisons Supermarkets Limited prior consent, nor without due acknowledgement.

So it's not surprising that brands have sought to make life easier for us by developing hard wearing sun creams. A spokesperson told us that all of its sun creams are designed for 'longevity' but that it found the use of the word 'durable' more 'appropriate' than once a day. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. This product has been a life saver for me literally and i really hope they never discontinue it or change the ingredients!

After several hours we retested each sunscreen’s SPF and saw a shocking 74% average decrease in protection. Apply evenly and generously 15 minutes before sun exposure, which will allow the product to bind to your skin. But it also acknowledges the importance of making sure the message of frequent re-application is clear, which is why it recommends members move away from 'once a day' descriptors.
