To anyone looking for cheap but effective broad spectrum suncream, I use Vaseline’s SPF (comes in a pink bottle – something about ‘Healthy White’?) You can get a HUGE bottle for under £5 (400ml) & it comes with a pump. The sunscreen on white but blends into the skin well (I have sensitive combination skin, so anything too thick will just sit on my skin & not absorb/ make me break out). Good luck!

Audrey, smart lady! Any money invested now is money saved later.

Even by using less product than the recommendation I truly felt the benefits of using sunscreen. So amazing! I will definitely try to budget more money into sun protection since I’m almost in my mid 20s now. Don’t want premature aging creeping up on me later on.

Audrey, yep, that’s the problem with sunscreen. They should come only in huge bottles at cheap prices but the reality is different. If you’re serious about sun protection, you’ll have to spend a small fortune!

I calculated that even if we just use it on our face and neck (2.5ml per day) and we use $30/30 ml great elegant physical suncsreen (for under makeup) we will run out in just 12 days. So in a year we will have to buy 30 bottles of sunscreen –> 30 x $ 30 = $900. And that’s only for our face and neck. I definitely use less just because I can’t afford to buy a new bottle of $30 sunscreen every 12 days. I ended up using it for almost a year! But I work mostly indoor so I don’t exactly expose myself to too much sun anyways, just exposed a bit at the car when going to work.

No worries, H. 🙂
