Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 We put three best SPF lip balms to the test BUDGET E45 Protection Lip Balm SPF30, £7.99 for 10ml, 4 This E45 Protection Lip Balm SPF30 really packs a punch to repair chipped lips E45 was a staple in my family growing up, so it's a brand I trust implicitly – even if it's not always the prettiest on the shelf. When E45 launched suncare last year, I was pleasantly surprised with how sophisticated the formulas were, and this new lip balm is no different. With vitamin E, squalane and shea butter, it really packs a punch to repair chapped lips and keep them hydrated all year round, and the SPF 30 is an added bonus. It's also fragrance-free, which is great news for anyone with sensitive skin that irritates easily. MID-RANGE KIKO Milano Sun Protection Lip Balm SPF 50, £12.99 for 4.8g, 4 KIKO Milano Sun Protection Lip Balm SPF 50 is shiny without being gloopy This is my absolute go-to if I'm on holiday somewhere hotter than the UK or if I'm going to be in the sun all day, as it's one of the only lip balms I've found with full SPF 50 protection. I love the translucent bullet – it reminds me of my favourite SPF stick, and the added hyaluronic acid and vitamin E ingredients keep my lips hydrated for hours. Although, I try to remember to reapply at least once an hour, especially if I'm eating or drinking, to ensure they are protected against sun damage. This is also the shiniest of all three products here, without being gloopy. The Inkey List has launched new tinted lip balms, and they have saved my dry lips this summer LUXURY Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15, £23, 4 The Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick applies smoothly and leaves a subtle sheen There's something so nostalgic about the scent of Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour products, so I always enjoy applying this lip balm, and have used it for years. It goes on smoothly, and leaves a subtle sheen that feels super-hydrating – but it's not at all shiny like a gloss or an oil. My one gripe is the Factor 15 protection – I wish it were higher. But to make up for it, I apply a few layers, and top up more regularly. There aren't many luxurious SPF lip balms on the market, so this is a real treat.

10 Skincare Secrets for Healthier-Looking Skin
Are you tired of playing the skincare guessing game where one day you're slathering on a 'miracle elixir' and the next you're puzzling over why your skin is itchy and dry? Drawing on 70 years of experience, E45 knows the real secrets to healthier, stronger skin. Here's what your skin really needs. We all want that clean, fresh feeling, but scrubbing your skin like it's a casserole dish causes more harm than good. Harsh surfactants in many cleansers can double the trouble, breaking down skin proteins and lipids, leading to after-wash tightness, dryness, barrier damage, irritation, and even itch. The E45 Face Foaming Cleanser for everyday use is dermatologically tested and gentle on skin. Designed specifically for facial care, it's perfect for dry, sensitive skin and even suitable for those prone to conditions like eczema and dermatitis.2 Your skin acts as a barrier, protecting against dryness, irritation, and infection. When that barrier's damaged, moisture escapes. This can lead to issues like eczema and chronic skin conditions. Moisturisers help by restoring the skin barrier, locking in moisture, and replacing lost lipids. They also smooth fine lines and leave skin soft, calm, and healthy-looking. E45 Daily Lotion absorbs quickly, is free from added colours and fragrances, and delivers hydration that's perfect for dry, sensitive skin – ideal for everyday use. Dermatologist-tested and enriched with glycerine, it keeps your skin soft and moisturised.4 Dry skin can change your skin's texture, turning it from soft and smooth to rough and uneven. It may feel itchy or even appear dull or slightly discoloured. Sometimes it shows up in small patches, but it can also affect larger areas, making your skin feel uncomfortable and more prone to irritation. If dryness is getting under your skin, turn to E45 Cream's emollient formula which soothes and supports conditions like ichthyosis, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and even burns, especially around joints where dryness can restrict movement.6 The skin barrier is a whole system made up of different protective roles, most of which take place in the outer layer of your skin. This barrier helps lock in moisture, defends against bacteria and allergens, shields you from UV damage, and reduces oxidative stress. When your skin's barrier is in good shape, everything just works better. Your skin feels smooth, stretchy, and strong – it quietly sheds old cells, moves with you without cracking, and stays comfortable without feeling tight or fragile.7c E45 Hydrating Face Serum delivers, deep lasting hydration. An ideal moisturiser, it repairs the skin barrier, locks in moisture, and keeps skin healthy. It also supports collagen and elastin, maintaining their structure for smoother, and glowing skin. This serum also features microalgae and seawater for enhanced hydration, elasticity, and texture. UVA and UVB rays may affect the skin in different ways, but both can do real damage. Without protection, they can harm the DNA in your skin cells, leading to mutations that increase the risk of skin cancer. The E45 Daily Protect Moisturiser delivers lasting hydration while fending off dryness. With SPF 30 and UVA/UVB filters, it's your shield against sun damage and harsh environmental factors. Fast absorbing, it's suitable for eczema-prone and atopic skin, and enriched with Vitamin E. E45 Daily Protect Moisturiser repairs and strengthens the skin barrier, keeping flakiness at bay. Sleep is vital for your whole body and that includes your skin.11a At night, your skin shifts into repair mode, working to fix damage and rebuild cells.11b Replenish, hydrate, and soften your skin overnight with E45 Face Night Cream. Enriched with Vitamin E, this restorative cream provides hydration after just one application and helps repair the skin barrier while you sleep. Packed with nourishing ingredients like Vitamin E, and dermatologically tested for sensitive skin, it also contains a of Macadamia Oil and Shea Butter to soothe dry skin.12 Sensitive skin reacts more easily to things like products, weather, or stress. It often shows up as redness, itching, or a stinging feeling. E45 Moisturising Lotion is a light, fragrance-free formula suitable for your body, face, and hands. Clinically proven to soothe roughness, reduce redness, and minimise scaling and flaking.14 E45 Rich 24hr Lotion offers long-lasting, deep hydration for dry and sensitive skin. Formulated with Evening Primrose Oil, it locks in moisture, leaving your skin soft and nourished all day. This fast-absorbing lotion is free from added colours and fragrances, making it gentle and suitable for everyday use. Lips don't have oil glands, so they dry out and get chapped much more easily. They also get a lot of sun exposure, which makes them a common spot for sun damage and even skin cancers. Meet your go-to balm for chapped lips and dry rough areas. The E45 Lips & Dry Skin Balm provides targeted hydration, softening and nourishing dry, chapped lips and small dry skin areas. Suitable for use on your body, face, and hands, it's perfect for the whole family. Enriched with highly lanolin, Vitamin E, and Beeswax, it helps lips and skin regenerate, leaving them smooth and comfortable. The biggest secret to healthy-looking skin? Doing the basics – and doing them regularly. It's not about chasing trends or cramming your shelf with products. It's about finding what works and sticking with it. Cleanse, moisturise, protect, repeat! Every skin is different – but all skin deserves consistent care that works. E45 keeps it simple, with proven ingredients that heal, protect, and restore.

Runners are sharing their secret 'must-haves' that helped them get through a marathon
If you're running a marathon this year, runners have been sharing their lesser-known race day essentials to help see you through to the finish line, from portable chargers to nail clippers With the marathon just two days away, it's likely you've already got your race day essentials sorted. However, if you're looking to top up on those extra items you may have forgotten about or have a race coming up later in the year, runners have been sharing their lesser-known must-haves that helped get them through. Of course, we already know about running vests, gels, and water packs, but what about those little things that may have slipped your mind? Well, we've rounded up the secret hacks runners swear by to see them through long-distance races, plus places that offer next-day delivery if you're looking to place a last-minute pre-marathon order. Lip balm TikTok user @pagesandmiles_ asked her followers what random 'must-haves' she must bring with her to the marathon this weekend, and an overwhelming number of responses were lip balm. This may seem obvious to some, but when you're caught up prepping for the big day, it can be easy to forget. And as the comments said, there is nothing worse than running 26 miles with uncomfortable, peeling, and sunburnt lips. SHOP LIPBALMS: Ultrasun Lip Protection SPF50, £10; E45 Lips & Dry Skin Balm, £4.99; and Interval Packable Running Jacket, £5.99 Spare clothes Extra clothing was flagged many times, and for different reasons. A few noted that it is worth rolling up a thin jumper, spare shorts or leggings in case of unpredictable weather conditions, something we're very used to here in the UK. While a few others stated it's worth packing a pair of Crocs or sliders to slip into once you've finished the race, plus a change of clothes for when you finish. Wipes/tissues Nothing'll be worse than nipping off to the toilet during the race and realising there's no toilet paper. Runners have suggested bringing your own packet of tissues or baby wipes to avoid any uncomfortable toilet situations. The wipes can also be used to clear off any sticky residue from the gels and salt from your skin after sweating. Portable charger A runner stated that reaching the last few miles and having your phone run out of charge is the worst, as you're left with no music to get through. You also don't want an uncharged phone when you finish the race and are looking for your friends and family to celebrate. That's why a portable charger is a must-have if you can fit it. We've found less bulky ones that will be easier to carry or ones that you can attach straight onto your phone case. Anti-chafe stick If you're prone to chafing thighs, this was probably at the top of your list. But it's not just handy for thighs; you can apply it to your armpits or where your sports bra digs in, anywhere you need some friction relief. Nail clippers This is a pretty random one, and one that you hopefully won't need if you've done the proper pre-marathon grooming. However, if you find yourself with a toenail that won't stop digging in, it can get pretty uncomfortable and potentially hard to finish the race. Nail clippers are so small and compact, it can't hurt to keep a pair packed away in case of a nail emergency.
