Top 5 sunscreens for summer

As a Which? survey reveals you don’t always get more protection for your pound, we bring you the top five sunscreens you CAN trust

Alarmingly, a Which? survey published today has revealed that, when subjected to testing, three popular sun cream brands did not provide the SPF protection stated on the bottle.

Products by Malibu, Piz Buin and Hawaiian Tropic were all given a ‘don’t buy’ rating, for failing to live up to claims that they offered an acceptable level of protection from harmful UV rays.

Thankfully, we Glossies have our tried and trusted sunscreen brands we turn to when the going gets tough (or rather, hot). Here are five of the best…
