Medik8's SPF50 that's an ‘absolute gem of a find' for heatwave week is 20% off
For a while, it was looking like the summer had officially ended earlier, but now that another heatwave is back in full swing, this week is the perfect chance to stock up on some trusty SPF.
Although we should wear sunscreen on our faces every day (rain or shine), we know not everyone does. However, SPF 50 in 30-degree weather is non-negotiable, and we've spotted Medik8's Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50+ with 20% off at LookFantastic.
This clever day cream comes with an impressive SPF50+ PA++++, and it's also packed with advanced UV filters to shield against UVA and UVB rays, plus blue light, infrared light, and pollution.
Alongside sun protection, it features encapsulated photolyase to help minimise visible signs of ageing caused by the sun. Plus hyaluronic acid and squalane keep your skin plump and hydrated all day long. 94% of people agreed it left their skin feeling moisturised from morning to night.
It's also got the glowing shopper reviews to back it up, with many praising its moisturising qualites and lack of white case. One shopper wrote: "I use this daily every morning. Feel it's a good solution to putting on some sunscreen as well as giving my skin a good base for adding makeup or just going bare face & letting my skin breathe. Would recommend highly".
"This is an absolute gem of a find and well worth the price. A tube lasts a long time and I can use it all year round, under my Medik8 serum. My adult daughter tells me my skin glows now and I'd agree! I'd highly recommend this product".
This SPF is definitely better catered to those with drier skin, as one shopper criticised: "Good sunscreen, nice ingredients It's however too oily for me. Not sure if I would repurchase."
If you're looking for more beauty boxes and bundles to shop this summer, Boots has dropped a limited-edition SPF kit featuring four of Supergoop's bestselling sun protection products (*including two full sizes) for £44 despite being worth £92.25. That brings each product down to just £11, a significant discount when you consider one full-size tube of Unseen Sunscreen usually costs up to £34 alone.

Brits urged to avoid common sunscreen mistake as temperatures soar in fourth UK heatwave
Whether you're travelling to a hot country or experiencing this UK heat, this common sunscreen mistake causes burns - here's how to avoid that mistake and enjoy the sun instead Temperatures are set to reach 34C this week in what is set to be the the fourth UK heatwave of the summer. As amber health alerts are issued around the UK, travel experts at Alpine Elements explained how people can embrace the sun rather than being toasted by it. People often remember to use sunscreen but only consider applying it once. However, even high factor suncreams are not as effective after a few hours in the sun, especially if you have been swimming or sweating or towel-drying. The experts said: "Applying sunscreen just once isn't enough, especially in hot climates where UV levels are high. We see people put it on before breakfast and assume they're protected all day - but by midday that initial layer has worn away." Sweating or swimming also exposes your skin to the sun due to the breakdown of the product, so experts have said to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours in intense sunlight and straight after swimming or sweating excessively. Reapply even if you're using a high SPF SPF measures the protection against UVB rays - the rays that cause sunburn, but not measure UVA protection - the rays that contribute to ageing of the skin and long-term damaging effects. People often assume that a sunscreen with high SPF allows them to stay out in the sun for a longer time and not need to reapply, however this is not the case. Sunscreen must have a broad spectrum with protection from both UVA and UVB and reapplied regularly in order to be fully protected. Make sure to reapply SPF during the UK heatwave as well as during your travels to hot, tropical countries abroad but also when experiencing the UK heatwave. For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. A spokesperson from Alpine Elements explained that if your skin is unprotected and the UV index is "double or triple what you're used to" this can mean that "unprotected skin can start burning in under 15 minutes." They conclude that "sun safety isn't just about avoiding discomfort - it's about protecting your skin for the future. A few extra minutes spent reapplying sunscreen can save you weeks of pain or years of damage." Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you!

Boots shoppers 'can't believe how good No7 cream' is and it's only £10
The No7 product is currently available for £10 as part of Boots' weekly sale Boots customers have been praising a beauty product that helps to "transform" tired and dull skin into something silky and noticeably moisturised. Users say they've received compliments on their complexion, and currently, their 'secret weapon' costs just £10. Usually priced at £17.95, the No7 HydraLuminous+ Day Gel arrives in a 50ml jar and is reduced for the weekly £10 Tuesday offer. Boots claims the gel delivers "72 hours of deep hydration" and seeks to make "skin look bouncier, plumper and more radiant in one week". The health and beauty chain wrote online that the gel features a "powerhouse complex" of ingredients, including hyaluronic acid. Despite providing these intensive results, Boots and No7 maintain that the gel is suitable for those with delicate skin types. On the Boots website, it explained: " HydraLuminous+ Day Gel instantly floods the skin with moisture for intense hydration and a healthy-looking glow, leaving you with refreshed and re-energised skin. This ultra-lightweight gel-cream melts into the skin to leave it feeling smoother in just one application." People can get alternative day creams elsewhere, such as the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Renew Anti Ageing Cream from Superdrug (50ml, £14.99 - down from £29.99). Also, there is the CeraVe Moisturising Cream (for Face & Body) that includes hyaluronic acid on sale for £12.79 on Amazon, reports the Mirror. However, plenty of Boots customers have been "using [the No7 product] religiously" and are witnessing the results. One said: "Lovely product makes my skin feel very soft. Absorbs really well." Another wrote: "This is one of my favourite day creams I have bought, it dries so quickly and make my skin look so healthy and glowy. My skin is usually quite dry and dull but this cream really transforms it, I love it!". A third commented: "After years of trying lots of creams for my dry skin, I randomly picked this up in Boots and it is the best thing I ever did! My skin has never looked better. It gives a lovely dewy (non greasy) glow to my face and everything looks and feels so much smoother." Some customers criticised it, including one who said: "It's a watery, sticky gel that makes my skin dry, sticky, and crepe. I have continued using it to give it the benefit of the doubt, but now I'm getting superficial spots." Another added: "I am usually a fan of No 7 Products but I am really disappointed with this product. I had high hopes for it but it left my skin feeling sticky, tacky, not a pleasant experience." Yet, the majority of feedback was positive and awarded five-star ratings. Someone who loved the gel said: "When I finally tried it out I was amazed by the instant results. My skin was dull and dry, and this made it look smoother and visibly hydrated. It looks so much healthier and less wrinkled, as it softens the lines around my eyes." Furthermore, one more customer shared with Boots shoppers: "Having just finished chemotherapy, my skin was ruined (I'd suffered really badly from 'chemo acne' and skin dryness). Since using this product, so many people have commented on how well I look and how good my skin looks (despite still undergoing some tough cancer treatment)." Many recommended pairing the HydraLuminous+ Day Gel with the matching Night Gel, which is also included in the £10 Tuesday offer. Ordinarily, purchasing both items would set customers back nearly £40, but this deal reduces the pair to just £20. Shoppers interested in the full range can see other items in the HydraLuminous+ collection online. At the time of writing, shoppers can take advantage of a 3 for 2 deal on selected No7 items - including certain HydraLuminous+ products. The £10 Tuesday deal ends when the clock hits midnight on August 12. Items can be ordered to be collected in store or delivered to your home.

Boots' 'magic' £10 No7 serum shoppers say makes under eyes 'look tighter'
Shoppers have dubbed the serum "amazing" and praised the "instant" results on fine lines and under eyes Boots shoppers are heaping praise on an "amazing" serum they say makes under-eyes 'look tighter.' The product is currently on offer as part of the retailer's weekly £10 Tuesday deal, which sees prices dropped on select products for one day only. The No7 Youthful Eye Serum 15ml from Boots is now £10, down from its original price of £19.95. The serum targets "key signs of ageing" and aims to give "younger looking eyes in four weeks." The full Boots product description reads: "The advanced formula with a blend of Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C and soft focus spheres instantly smooths, revitalises, revitalises and brightens to give the skin around the eyes a youthful radiance. In addition, an effective fusion of Vitamin A, Cassava and anti-ageing Peptides work day by day to visibly reduce wrinkles including crows feet, improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness." Alternatively, shoppers can snap up the BYOMA De-Puff and Brighten Eye Gel 20ML from Space NK for £13, or the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Eye Serum 20ml from Superdrug for £15.99. Elsewhere, Medik8 has the C-Tetra Eye Lipid Vitamin C Radiance Serum for £24. The No7 serum has racked up rave reviews online, earning an overall rating of 4.4 stars. Among the hundreds of reviews, one person said: "Magic cream. This was a lovely cream that had INSTANT results. It smoothed fine lines out." A second wrote: "Amazing. I've been using this eye serum for many years. It's the only product I've found that keeps the skin around my eyes well hydrated. Wouldn't be without it." A third shopper added: "Like most people, I'm a little bit sceptical when it comes to using new products that claim to make differences to the appearance of your skin. However, with this product I have noticed an improvement in the fine lines around my eyes. My skin certainly seems smoother and fine lines seem less obvious. The skin around my eyes seems brighter and more hydrated. I would definitely recommend this product and I will certainly be stocking up." However, some shoppers mentioned issues they'd found with the product and shared their thoughts. One wrote: "I've been using it twice daily for several weeks now and really do not see any difference, other than it does a good job of moisturising." A different person said: "I have a couple of fine lines under my eyes and this product did nothing for them, however the product is easy to apply, sinks in well unlike others I've tried and didn't cause any allergic reaction to my very sensitive skin and eyes." Despite this, many others continued to praise the serum. One happy shopper said: "Being a first time mom and having less sleeping time made my under eyes so bad. This is by far one of the best eye serums I have tried. It made my under eye skin looks tighter just overnight. It's like a miracle serum. Highly recommended!" Another added: "I use this with the Lift and Illuminate eye cream and it works by keeping my skin smooth and line-free."
