We all know we need to protect our skin from the sun but with so many different products available it can be hard to avoid the dreaded ‘let’s cart 8 bottles with us for a family holiday’ look. That’s where Boots Sultan come in with their family suncare pack.
Since having Boo I’ve made much more of a conscious effort to protect our skin as a family. Gone are the days of factor 2 tanning oil while on holiday in Egypt (yes that is 100% true – how I didn’t crisp up like a roast potato is a mystery to me!) Now sun protection is part of my wider skincare, it’s important that we think about how our skin is exposed to the sun all year round. However let’s be honest, the bulk of our tanning is done while on holiday so when Boot’s sent us their family suncare pack it was the first time me and Boo would be using sun lotion from the same range. Previously I’d never thought that one range could offer us both protection while still meeting our different needs.
Boo is pretty simple: she needs a high SPF that is easy to apply and kind to her skin; so the Kids SPF50 was perfect for her. For me it’s all about protecting my skin while I develop a dark tan – being half Iranian means I’m lucky that I tan very easily and rarely burn, so the SPF 15 was perfect for me. Both sun lotions were really easy to apply and had the perfect consistency.
The complete Boots Soltan range has been awarded a maximum five-star rating against deep-down skin damage caused by UVA rays – because whilst I may not burn I’m aware that real skin damage is often invisible to the naked eye so it’s great that the whole range offers the highest protection available.
The family pack also contains a moisturising after sun lotion, which is perfect for post beach day evening; easily absorbed and non greasy, Boo was soon in charge of applying her own aftersun and loved it so much has asked if we can use it now we’re back home.
And let’s not forget about the handy zipped pouch they came in, this seemingly simple clear pouch soon became my best friend on holiday – out went the sun lotion and instead I used it for keys, phone, purse. It’s the perfect size for keeping your valuables (not to mention tangle teezer) free from sand and water.
The Boots Soltan range is perfect for family holidays, as it offers something for everyone and with unbeatable 5 star UVA protection, that’s one less holiday prep to worry about.
