Following on from my post on SPF, here i will now review two facial sun creams by two supermarket giants. First up is Tesco Ultimate Sun protection( Its written like a stamp, Ultimate in bold, just to show you how really ultimate it is! READ IT AND WEEP)
SPF 30 High protection.
For some messed up reason Tesco decided to reformulate this product, from an easy squeezy container to a "Sports pack" umm ok. They also changed the ingredients( insert pissed off smilie here)
It is £3.00 for 75 ml which i think is a great price. So lets get to reviewing my lovelys
I love the price, its readily available and it doesn't have a white cast leaving you looking like you bathed in baby powder that so many sunscreens do.
It has a pleasant smell, not too clinical and its not greasy and absorbs well. You can use it in place of a moisturiser and no dryness.
What i dislike- the packaging, its now in a weird sports pack that looks like an astronauts space food container or a massive packet of a male contaceptive device.
They also changed the ingredients- wahh and put in more stuff that i can't pronounce.
Baring that all in mind i give it 2 Thumbs up and it is a staple of mine.
I heart it *strokes space food/condom pack*

I scream, you scream, we all scream for sunscreen!
Like Baz Luhrmann says everybodys free to wear sunscreen and everybody should!
You may think nah i'm a dusky beauty from a far off land, i have no need for such things.
You would of course be wrong.
Skin Cancer affects us.
Sun damage affects us.
So if you cancer doesn't scare you, i will appeal to your vanity. The sun's rays age right? Sooo the melanin in your skin+ sunscreen= Double weapon in againg! Yayyyy
Another effect of sun damage- Hyperpigmentation. Something loads of us have to deal with.
So go on do it!
