And now one major supermarket has sent beauty buffs into a frenzy with the ultimate bargain that's ideal for relaxing outside - a sun lounger.
According to cash-savvy shoppers, the popular retailer B&M is now offering its viral sun lounger for a wallet-friendly price.
The fabulous inflatable sun lounger was originally going for £18 - but now thrifty fans of B&M can get their hands on the summer must-have for just a tenner.
Whether you're soaking up the sun in the garden - with sunscreen, of course - or having some swimming pool fun, this sun lounger is the perfect way to relax after a long and hectic week.
Bargain hunters can choose the sun lounger in two colours - vibrant pink or an adorable lilac, both of which are absolutely stunning.
The epic find, which also has some light glitter to it, is wide enough to store all your essentials, such as a water bottle and a book, on the side.
With summer school holidays now in full force, this bargain find will also come in handy for millions of parents and their kids who are planning camping trips or heading to the beach.
The cut-price offer was recently spotted at B&M by one shopper, TikToker Ellie who informed other sun-loving Brits about the deal.
''This is your sign to go to B&M and buy an inflatable sun lounger,'' she said in the video.
''Bonus that it was actually £10 not £18.''
Can a £3 Gradual Tan Really Deliver a Sun-Kissed Glow without Streaks or Stained Sheets?
With other retailers selling similar version for as much as £22, B&M's inflatable sun lounger is certainly one of the cheapest on the high street right now.
Even China-based marketplaces Temu and Shein are charging their customers, on average, around £11 to £12 for similar summer buys.
Meanwhile, the prices on Amazon vary, with some sun loungers going for £20 - or more.
To avoid any unnecessary disappointment, you may wish to plan a trip to the local B&M soon, as this product is sure to become a major hit.
Advice for adults and children on sunscreen and sun safety in the UK and abroad
The experts at the NHS have warned that sunburn increases your risk of skin cancer.
They state that despite the common misconception, sunburn ''does not just happen on holiday''.
This means that you can burn in the UK, even on days when it's cloudy.
''There's no safe or healthy way to get a tan. A tan does not protect your skin from the sun's harmful effects.''

Don't have all the fancy tools required to pump it up? The savvy shopper, who posts under the username @xelliefaith, also shared a genius hack that will tackle the problem instantly.
In the clip, the savvy beauty buff revealed that you can blow a hair dryer directly into the sun lounger - and it'll be ready for summer fun in no time.
'It's a need'
Posted just two days ago, the video has already taken the internet by storm, winning Ellie more than a whopping 288k views.
As 23,000 people gave it a like, dozens flooded to comments to tag their pals and many thanked for the easy hack.
One person said: ''That hair dryer trick is the smartest thing I've ever seen omg.''

Inside the sex-crazed world of Russian oligarchs with brutalised OnlyFans model, infamous sex coach & Kremlin mistresses
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FROM a notorious "seduction" coach to near-naked sex parties, the assault of an OnlyFans model has laid bare the sex-crazed underworld of Russia's elite. Humiliated Vladimir Putin has imposed various crackdowns on the "debauched" Russian elite in recent years - but his own aides are said to be flying out mistresses and partaking in sordid sex parties. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 13 Russian self-proclaimed sex guru Alex Lesley and his women Credit: East2West 13 OnlyFans model Maria Kovalchuk was allegedly chased and tortured by rich Russians at a party in Dubai 13 Russia had a 'Naked Partygate' scandal in 2023 Credit: East2West Kremlin insiders say Russia's sex-crazed elite and their sleazy antics have always been there - with the war with Ukraine bringing some of it to light. A source told The Sun: "Putin hates when the elite ostentatiously display their wealth, decadence or disgusting perversions for everyone to see, especially when we are fighting in Ukraine. 'But the partying goes on. Behind the walls, out of sight, the wild excesses go on.' The dictator himself has been embroiled in sex scandals - allegedly sharing two children with his "First Mistress" Alina Kabaeva. Another source said Putin's secret £1billion palace on the Black Sea was built with a striptease stage and pole dancing boudoir, which may - or may not - have been removed. The Kremlin insider added: "Many of Putin's circle - men in their 60s and 70s, like him - have young lovers, sometimes several. "It's not like the West here. Their private lives are hidden from the world and the lurid details never - or seldom - appear." But the private life of some Russian oligarchs is much darker than merely having a mistress - with reports emerging of extreme, sordid sex events that had previously only been known to occur in Dubai. Infamous "Porta Potty" parties involve rich men paying large sums to play out their fantasies in real life - including vile sex acts such as defecation. A Russian woman who has taken part in such events in Dubai revealed they were also rife in Moscow. While she was in Dubai, she said the sick acts involved "old grandpas". The woman added: "They paid decently for it." And she revealed how "people ask for such things in Moscow too". Women create online profiles and declare that they agree to certain extremities - attracting deep-pocketed clients. The Russian woman added: "There is demand - clients like this kind of thing... here you can do whatever you want. "Why do they like it? I don't know. Well, they are like that and that's it." It comes after Ukrainian OnlyFans model Maria Kovalchuk, 20, was allegedly chased and tortured by rich Russians at a party in Dubai. After missing her flight to Thailand, Maria said she was offered a place to stay by a 19-year-old man she had recently met at a karaoke bar. 13 OnlyFans model Maria Kovalchuk, pictured in Norway with her mother Anna Credit: East2West 13 She went missing before being found with a broken spine at a construction site Credit: East2West 13 Maria had to have her scalp sewn back on with horrific medical images showing a huge scar on the top of her head Credit: East2West He claimed his father could fly her out on a private jet. But then the man and his friends tortured her instead, the model claimed. The traumatised model described how the group began smashing bottles and glass on the floor, making her unable to walk barefoot, and said they took her passport and belongings. She claims the men 'hinted' they wanted sex - and when she refused, the situation escalated - with their aggression "heating them up". Maria said she attempted to escape and hid at a nearby construction site - but was tracked down, beaten, and thrown from a ledge. She was missing for over a week before being found unconscious with horrific injuries, including a shattered spine and broken limbs. It was initially thought Maria had been assaulted after a 'Porta Potty' party. These are disturbing events which are known to involve high-paying UAE clients who degrade women, often influencers, for large sums. But Maria denied any involvement of Emirati citizens in her brutal ordeal. Instead, an insider close to Maria said: "It was the Russians who tortured Maria. She was found with a broken spine, arms and legs - and unable to speak." 'Seduction' coach But it's not just abroad where Russia's elite have been suspected of sex crimes. In Russia, a YouTube "seduction" coach with links to one of Putin's close oligarchs is facing investigation after he urged viewers to grab women in the street by their buttocks and offer them sex. Alexander Kirillov, also known as Alex Lesley, is being investigated on suspicion of inducement to rape. The so-called "advice" he gave openly on his channel led to a number of complaints from women claiming they have been horrifically harassed by his followers. Some claimed the vile encounters were filmed by accomplices as the men groped them and asked for sex. 13 Alexander Kirillov, a self-styled sex guru, is being investigated Credit: East2West 13 Kirillov previously made headlines for being embroiled in a political scandal Credit: East2West 13 Kirillov was detained in 2018 alongside Anastasia Vashukevich in Thailand after they hosted illegal 'sex training' classes 13 Vashukevich claimed Russian oligarch and Putin pal Oleg Deripaska (L) was once part of a conspiracy to help Trump win the 2016 election Credit: Getty His account has nearly 100,000 subscribers. Kirillov previously made headlines for being embroiled in a political scandal involving Belarusian escort Anastasia Vashukevich, 35, and Russian energy tycoon Oleg Deripaska. It came to light after Vashukevich claimed to have evidence that Deripaska and Russia's deputy prime minister were part of a Kremlin conspiracy to skew the 2016 presidential election in favour of Donald Trump. Both Deripaska and Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Prikhodko denied wrongdoing. Following her claims, Vashukevich, known online as Nastya Rybka, was arrested. At the time of her detention she was in Thailand, where she had been running a bizarre four-day 'sex training' class alongside none other than Kirillov. They spent nine months in custody - before a Thai court handed them a suspended 18-month sentence for soliciting and running an illegal "sex training course". Vashukevich and Kirillov were then deported to Moscow in January 2019 and arrested - but later released. The controversy with Kirillov came to light in June when at least 10 young women went public saying they had being groped by his vile fans in Moscow. Russian MPs then complained to authorities before the Investigative Committee opened a case against him. They said he had 'induced his followers to commit illegal acts of a sexual character towards female residents of the capital'. Twisted Kirillov told local media: "If we lived in America or Germany, God forbid, then it could result in serious consequences. Thankfully, we are in Russia." Kremlin 'mistresses' Closer to the Kremlin, one of mad Vlad's officials was reportedly flying his 23-year-old mistress around on $100million military jets. Maria Shalaeva claimed she was jetted on a defence ministry Ilyushin-76 aircraft for a getaway to Rostov-on-Don - the same location of Russian armed forces war headquarters. Local media reported Putin's defence minister Andrei Belousov, 66, as the suspected lover. 13 Maria Shalaeva boasted about taking an armed forces plane to the closed airport in Rostov-on-Don for a weekend getaway Credit: East2West 13 Shalaeva posing in the back of an army plane 13 Shalaeva says her lover is a 'Kremlin man' Credit: East2West His photograph appeared on a video she posted. It is also clear from one video that her lover has grey hair - as does Belousov - who was a Kremlin apparatchik before becoming defence minister. There are also indications that her man - apparently seen in shorts on the plane - could be younger than Belousov. Whether the affair is Belousov or another senior official figure in the Russian power structure, the disclosure reportedly triggered fury over what is seen as a security breach. Military sources indicated that the Kremlin 'sugar daddy' had been visited at work by the secret services after the mistress's revelations. Shalaeva, from Yekaterinburg, said her lover is 'a Kremlin man, though, that's another story. Reliability level is 200%.' She admits to bringing her three-year-old son Tim on the trip - sparking speculation that it could be her lover's child. 'At three years old, he's already flown in a military aircraft,' she posted. Belousov, an economist and civilian technocrat, is not a career soldier and holds no formal military rank - but his authority rivals that of Russia's top generals. In Rostov, Shalaeva, her son, and her mystery man were reportedly picked up by a "very expensive foreign car". It was local media in Rostov that first flagged the scandal, without naming names. Russian outlets have so far avoided identifying the man.

Inside abandoned Toys R Us shop with eerie empty shelves and checkouts left to rot
YouTuber Ben Laurence has explored an abandoned Toys R Us store, revealing eerie empty shelves, discarded signs, and haunting relics of a once-iconic toy store chain A haunting glimpse into one of the most iconic retail graveyards has been captured by YouTube creator Ben Laurence, who explored an abandoned Toys R Us store in the US - and what he found was a time capsule of childhood memories, now slowly rotting away. In his video, Laurence films himself stepping inside the derelict store after being unexpectedly granted access by someone who appears to be working on demolishing the building. 'I'm shaking I'm so excited,' he says. 'I've got to be quick in here, but this is insane.' The footage shows eerie, empty shelves, long-abandoned checkouts, and remnants of the once-thriving toy empire. It comes after Brits are told to never put one banned item in garden bins as you could face punishment. Dimmed lights flicker above half-filled coffee cups, left behind on counters where staff once scanned action figures and Barbie dolls. Torn Lego advertisements hang limply, while in the shadows, the old video game area still glows faintly. Toys R Us was once a giant of the high street, operating more than 100 stores across the UK at its peak. But in 2018, the company fell into administration after struggling to keep up with online competitors and changing shopping habits. All UK stores were closed that year, leaving behind vast, empty units across the country - many untouched since. Outside this particular store, the giant Toys R Us signboard still looms, advertising a shop that no longer exists. While the branded signage on the building has been stripped away, letters from the original sign now sit discarded outside. 'It'll be a real shame to see these letters thrown out like trash,' Laurence says in the video. 'These are historical Toys R Us artefacts. All this stuff is going to end up in a landfill.' Despite signs of a new development being built inside - with cars parked outside and work seemingly underway - the interior of the building remains frozen in time. Among the finds are the instructions on how to use a shopping trolley, still posted inside the store, and a lone Christmas tree in the backroom, surrounded by crushed boxes and empty bicycle racks. 'You can still smell the rubber of the tyres,' Laurence says. 'Which is crazy.' He also stumbles upon signs of recent human activity - not from workers, but likely trespassers. Empty alcohol bottles and cans are strewn around. 'Seems like someone's been boozing it up,' he says. Rat traps line the exterior, hinting at the vermin drawn to the decay. 'This is the remnants of the Toys R Us shelves,' he says, pointing to the torn-out fittings. 'This is probably the last time we're going to see the building looking like this. If they're ripping off the letters, they must be planning to do something with it.'
