Boots launches 50% off summer sale including dry mist sun spray & moisturiser that gives you a natural-looking tan
The health and beauty retailer has slashed the price of over 3,000 products, including a number of "five-star" buys perfect for summer holidays.
50% off Garnier Sun Spray
Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF 50+ Sensitive Advanced Dry Mist Sun Spray has been reduced from £16 to just £8, a saving of 50%.
The sun cream promises "very high protection" against sun-induced skin damage and sunburn, and the spray bottle makes it super easy to apply to hard-to-reach areas.
The bargain buy is suitable for all skin types, and is hypoallergenic, so is unlikely to cause any allergic reactions.
Garnier said: "This protection mist has an ultra-light texture that absorbs quickly, without leaving white marks, and gives a bare skin feeling that is non-greasy.
"The spray format allows you to protect all parts of the body quickly and easily.
"This water resistant suncream offers advanced protection against immediate sun induced skin damage, caused by UVB rays, as well as protection from long-term damage and premature skin ageing caused by UVA rays."
The summer essential has over 100 five-star reviews from satisfied customers, including one person who said: "I thought I'd try it out as I'm a full time wheelchair user with limited mobility and hand strength and was hoping to be able to reapply and reach awkward areas during the day.
"I was able to reach most areas, it was easy to press and spray, and whilst clear, it's fairly obvious where it looks shiny."
Also in the sale is Dove Summer Revived Light to Medium Gradual Tanning Lotion, which has been slashed from £4.19 to £2.09, a saving of 50%.
The budget cream aims to give a natural-looking holiday glow, for hardly any effort.
British skincare brand sold in Boots launches 50% off sale as it prepares to close down this month
The tanning product works like a normal everyday moisturiser and creates a long-lasting natural tan.
Over time, it builds up to a light to medium colour, but don't forget to add sun cream over the top to protect your skin.
Dove said: " This streak-free tanning lotion is ideal for everyday use, creating a long-lasting, natural-looking self-tan.
"Its moisturising power keeps your skin hydrated, while the 100% naturally derived DHA subtly adds colour for a buildable glow that you control.
The importance of sun cream in your skincare routine
Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez - known as Dr Dray - revealed why you should wear suncream.
The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference - and this matters for all ages - is protecting your skin from the sun, Andrea stressed.
"The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation," she continued, not because you're "not using some jazzy serum or layering 90 different things on your face everyday".
"If you're not doing in your 20s, get on that now."
But she said the use of sun cream alone doesn't go far enough. Andrea urged that you also wear sun-protective clothing like broad-brimmed hats and long sleeves, on top of not staying out too long in the sun.
Doing this over your lifetime - and all year, not just during the summer or on sunny days - "will reduce the visible signs of photoageing", Andrea said.
Those are wrinkles, muddled pigmentation and sagging skin.
"The gradual tan builds up to a light to medium colour, leaving your skin with a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow."
Over 300 shoppers have given the product a five-star review, including one fan who said: "I'm using this tanning lotion for about three years.
"I usually apply in the evening and can see a beautiful golden tan next morning."
A second person said: 'I Was amazed by how good this is.
"I've never used fake tan before, but my daughter showed me the results, and I gave it a try.
Shoppers can also snap up countless other offers on essential products, such as half price on Soap & Glory Face Soap & Clarity Facial Wash, and Oral-B Pro-Expert Professional Protection Toothpaste.

Five savvy ways to make your own delicious jam at home
MEGHAN MARKLE's As Ever apricot spread sold out in minutes earlier this month – even though it cost an eye-watering £11. But you can create jam or spread at home for a fraction of that royally high price. 8 Here's how to do it . . . PACK IT IN: Firstly, get your jars ready. A pack of six jars on costs £11.99, but save any pasta sauce jars and you won't need to spend. Give your recycled jars a wash in hot soapy water before rinsing and leaving to dry. DIY: All you need to make your own apricot-style jam is fresh apricots, £1.69, lemons, 89p, and sugar, £1.75, all Lidl. Pit and crush the apricots and heat in a pan with the juice of one lemon. Add around 400g of sugar and bring the heat up until the sugar all dissolves. Leave on a low heat and stir for 25 minutes. Once it's thickened, add to jars. SETTING SECRETS: No sugar in the cupboard? How to make fluffy scones in the slow cooker during lockdown A cheap way to add sweetness is to grate half a cooking apple into your apricot mixture. Pick one up for around 63p at Tesco. You can also do this if you're making jam with strawberries or blueberries. BUDGET TIP: If you're not up to whipping up your own version of apricot spread, you could cheat. Get a tin of apricot halves in syrup or fruit juice, £1.10, at Sainsbury's, and mash, before spreading on toast. All the flavour for a bargain price. MAKE A BATCH: This is where the savings kick in. Skip apricots and use frozen fruit like Morrisons Wonky Berry mix, £2.99 for 1kg. Add approximately 600g of sugar and juice of two lemons. LABEL OF LOVE: Make like Meghan and give your jam a touch of luxury with handwritten labels cut from brown paper and tie on to your jar lids with string. Instead of HRH, you could write 'MHJ' for 'My Homemade Jam'. All prices on page correct at time of going to press. Deals and offers subject to availability. 8 Deal of the day 8 MAKE the most of the sunshine by getting a pair of Zero Gravity sun loungers for your garden. They were £80 a pair, now £44.99 at Cheap treat PICK up the popular Squishmallow toys at Home Bargains, usually £8.99, now reduced to £4.99. Top swap 8 FOR glowing skin, try CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser with salicylic acid, £14.50 from Boots. Or get the new Baylis & Harding Cleanse & Renew salicylic acid body wash, RRP £5 at Shop & save HOT weather calls for ice-cold treats.

I'm a mum – my tips keep family day-outs cheap with an app to slash your petrol bill & you'll have cash for ice cream
SUMMER school hols need not burn a hole in your pocket. With summer activities costing around £500 per child, many families are choosing to spend time together instead - but even cute day-outs can end up costing a fortune. 2 2 Luckily, one cash-savvy mum has come to rescue with easy tips that will slash the costs - and turns out, there's even a simple way to get petrol for less when driving around. Offering a helping hand to fellow parents, mum Kelly, from Portsmouth, took to TikTok to share hacks to keep the expenses as low as possible. One of these, she recently revealed in the video, is preparing lunch and taking it with them when out and about - saving a fortune on going to a cafe or a restaurant for some grub. ''I can't tell you the last time I didn't pack a picnic and that's just because they're really expensive. ''That can whack on an extra £40 - and I don't want to spend that on food. ''The kids never ask to eat and they're used to having a backpack - and actually, if you're walking around, it doesn't restrict you, you can just eat on the go.'' The same, she added, goes for drinks as well, with the mum carrying three to four water bottles to keep the brood hydrated. As well as having their food ready, the parents also avoid popping into gift shops - unless it's someone's birthday. ''I don't buy anything from the gift shop and the kids have never wanted that because they've never known it. ''And that's probably got even easier as they've got older cause now they understand the value of money more.'' My dream pool was £40,000 so I DIYd my own 18ft version in February all for this summer heatwave - it's saved me £37,000 If your child, however, insists they do want that new overpriced toy, you should remind them of the teddy or another toy that's just now sitting in the corner. While out and about you may also want some coffee for that extra energy kick - however, with coffee shop prices higher than ever, your dose of caffeine can easily all add up. To keep the expenses as low as possible, the budget-friendly mum now carries a thermal flask with coffee which she can enjoy whenever and wherever. Where can kids eat for free this summer? THE summer holidays are here, but entertaining the kids need not cost a fortune. Here, we reveal where you can get free and cheap meals for your little ones during the 'endless' summer holidays. ASDA CAFE: Nip into an Asda cafe to feed the kids after the weekly shop. Under-16s get a hot or cold meal for £1 at any time of day. Little ones are covered, too.

Two kids under 16 eat for free with the purchase of an adult breakfast for £10.99. It's available from 6.30am to 10.30am midweek and 7am to 11am at weekends. BELLA ITALIA: Book a table and order an adult meal at the Italian eatery for kids aged two to 11 to get three courses and a drink for £1. Offer valid between 4pm and 6pm on Sundays to Wednesdays. On Thursdays, kids eat free all day when an adult meal is ordered from the a la carte menu. DUNELM: Make homeware shopping a fun day out.

The offer runs every day until August 11. TESCO: Pop to the supermarket cafe from Monday to Friday until August 30 for free kids' meals when an adult buys any item in the cafe. You must have a Clubcard to redeem the offer. THE RANGE: Kids under 16 get one free meal per adult main purchased at The Range cafes. Options include sandwiches, a cooked breakfast and fish and chips. All kids' meals come with a piece of fruit and a drink. ''Lastly, getting to places. I'll calculate roughly how much petrol it's going to cost me. ''I will use an app called Petrol Prices to look for the cheapest petrol station in my area. ''There can be a massive difference between the most expensive to the cheapest, so I will plan that in advance.'' She went on: ''The most I spend on a day out whilst I'm there is probably £7 on ice creams - I'll let the kids have an ice cream - but that's usually about it.'' Kelly, who posts under the username @ kellybudgetingandfamily, wrote in the caption: ''The days out themselves aren't too bad, but when you start adding drinks, food, gift shop etc it all starts to really add up and before you know it you have spent hundreds!''
