Fancy winning over £250 worth of SPF goodies from Hello Sunday? Here's how
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Hey, you… yes you! How would you like to win over £250 worth of gorgeous Hello Sunday treats? Forget the thick, greasy sunscreens of the past, this UK-based brand is all about lightweight, skin-loving formulas that slot into your routine without any fuss. The packaging is cute, the names are playful (like 'The One That's a Serum'), and the products do more than just protect you from the sun – they also shield your skin from pollution and blue light. How good is that? Better yet, they're vegan, cruelty-free, and packed with good-for-you ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. Basically, they've taken all the boring bits out of SPF and made it something you'll actually want to wear every day – which, we hate to remind you, but you should be doing all year round too. Now we've teamed up with Hello Sunday to give one of you over £250 worth of goodies, including 'The One That's A Serum' (worth £23), and 'The Mineral One SPF 50' (worth £26). The ultra-light, glow-giving formula that 'The Mineral One SPF' has is basically skincare's answer to a triple-shot oat latte: hydrating, energising, and totally addictive. It glides on like a dream (no chalky cast in sight), leaving your skin dewy, calm, and ready to face the day. Packed with antioxidant-rich Kukui Oil and vitamin E, it's like a mini shield for your face – fighting off free radicals, smoothing fine lines, and helping to fade dark spots while you get on with your life. And thanks to hyaluronic acid, your skin stays plump and juicy whether it's heatwave season or mid-winter chill. Fragrance-free, featherlight, and designed for everyday wear, this is SPF that works hard without showing off. Just like you. Someone called 'PinkLady' from Belfast hailed it 'perfection for sensitive rosacea skin', and went on to add: 'This is perfect for easily dehydrated, sensitive rosacea-prone skin that reacts to most chemical sunscreens. It's very emollient, which is not pleasant at first, but dries to a nice satin finish. Minimal white cast. I'm also acne prone, and this caused no breakouts.' Martha followed suit and also mentioned that it was a 'great option for deeper skin tones', and went on to say: 'For reference I'm a Fitzpatrick 6. I use 1 pipette full (1/2 suggested amount) with 1 finger of mineral sunscreen (1/2 recommended amount) to get full factor 50 coverage. Mineral sunscreens do have a white tint as they are white pigments but going it this way I do not get a white cast. I have told all my black friends about this as white cast is our regular struggle. This has saved me so much time with not having to apply makeup to make a mineral sunscreen work for me.' If you're looking for a standout product, try 'The One That's a Serum SPF 50'. This featherlight SPF 50 serum is the kind of overachiever we love – moisturiser, sunscreen, and glow-booster all rolled into one sleek little bottle. It's packed with antioxidants, brightening vitamin C, and plumping hyaluronic acid, so your skin gets a hit of hydration, protection, and radiance in one go. No white cast, or greasy finish either – just smooth, dewy skin that looks like it's had eight hours of sleep and a green juice. It sinks in like a serum (because it is one) and works hard behind the scenes to fend off UV rays, pollution, and those pesky early signs of ageing. Basically, it's your skincare routine—streamlined, simplified, and seriously effective. All-year-round glow? Sorted. Below you'll find the list of all the products you can win. The Everyday One Moisturiser SPF 50 – worth £18 The One That's a Serum SPF 50 – worth £23 The Take Out One Invisible Sun Stick SPF 30 – worth £20.00 The One For Your Lips SPF 50 – worth £8 The One For Your Hands SPF 30 – worth £10 The One For Your Eyes SPF 50 – worth £18 The Illuminating One SPF 50 – worth £23 The Mineral One SPF 50 – worth £26 The Rose One Tinted Lip Balm SPF 50 – worth £10 The Mauve One Tinted Lip Balm SPF 50 – worth £10 The Everyday One Mineral Moisturiser SPF 50 – worth £24 Recovery One Mask – worth £19 The Everyday One Moisturiser SPF 50 75ml – worth £24 The One For Your Body SPF 30 – worth £18 It's worth mentioning that this competition ends on June 13, so what are you waiting for?

I Was Shocked To Find That My Lip Products Cause Sun Damage – Now I Use This
I didn't realise I was damaging my lips until it was too late. Every summer, I'd notice the outer edges of my lips getting darker almost like a faint, stubborn shadow. I figured it was just hyperpigmentation or maybe dehydration. But one day, as I was scrolling through TikTok, I landed on a video that changed everything. People were talking about how their lips were burning in the sun, especially when using their favourite glossy lip oils or lip glosses, which is basically everything I had in my handbag. It made perfect sense. While I'd never skip sunscreen on my face or body, I'd completely overlooked my lips. And if I'm honest, most of the hydrating lip products I reach for in the summer are more aesthetic than protective. That's where Hello Sunday's The One For Your Lips Lip Balm SPF 50 comes in. (visible hyperpigmentation on lips is theRefy lip buff) According to Medical News Today, lips are made up of thinner skin compared to the rest of your face and don't contain melanin - the pigment that helps protect skin from UV rays. This makes them more susceptible to sunburn, sun spots, and long-term damage. You might not feel the burn right away, but over time, that exposure can cause premature ageing, darkening, or even increase your risk of skin cancer on the lips (yes, that's a thing). Even more frustrating? A lot of popular lip oils and glosses actually magnify the sun's rays, acting like a UV-attracting mirror. So while they make your lips look great in the moment, they can be doing real damage long-term. ©Renee Washington, digital fashion and beauty writer If you're thinking 'SPF lip balm' and picturing something chalky, sticky, or aggressively matte, think again. This one glides on like a gloss, smooth, juicy, and slightly shiny, but never sticky. I like to line my lips first in something close to my natural lip colour; Rhode's lip shape in Balance is my current obsession. With the balms, I've been wearing the mauve shade, which looks way more pink on me than I expected (in a good way), and layering with the clear version. This combo gives that glossy look without compromising on protection. It doesn't ruin your make-up vibe at all - in fact, it adds to it. Its just enough tint to bring everything together but still feels low-effort and breezy. This isn't just a cute lip balm. It packs serious sun protection with broad spectrum SPF 50, which is no joke. Since switching to this balm, my lips haven't darkened or felt irritated despite long days in the sun, and I haven't experienced any breakouts or reactions around my mouth either. I find my hyperpigmentation on my outer lips is less obvious using the balms, too. Key features of the balm include: Delivering immediate and long-lasting moisture Defending the skin barrier Keeping lips protected from the sun With so much talk online about SPF lip care, I'm glad this conversation is gaining traction. Lip oils, glosses, and even balms with no SPF might look cute, but they can cause damage in the long run without the necessary protection. If you're into that glowy, dewy finish but still want to protect your lips, Hello Sunday strikes the perfect balance. Would I recommend this lip balm? Absolutely. It's earned a spot in my daily routine, right next to my favourite concealers and the best foundations I have. I won't be dropping my lip oils but, I will be always applying SPF first - this balm just does it all in one for me. It's one of those products that makes you wonder why it took so long for something this good-and this necessary-to go mainstream. If you're heading into summer with a full SPF plan, don't let your lips be the weak link. 1. Hello Sunday The One For Your Lips Lip Balm SPF50 What the brand says: 'A fragrance-free, clear SPF50 lip balm, the one For Your Lips is enriched with shea butter and squalane to keep your pout protected & hydrated throughout the in hydration with The One For Your Lips' glossy, fragrance-free lip balm on its own for a natural finish, or over your favourite lip colour for a finishing layer of protection.' What we know: The Hello Sunday bridges the gap between skincare and make-up. The non-sticky balm has a cocktail of moisture boosters including shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin e to soften chapped lips. The hero agent is the SPF 50 protection which keeps your lips shielded against UVA and UVB rays. Renee Washington, digital fashion and beauty writer says: 'No need to compromise if you're a gloss girl. With this balm you can get the same shiny effect without having to dodge the sun. I use it in the same way I would a gloss; liner, layer with pink, and rub together. I find that it lasts a decent amount time without the need to reapply.'

Looking to bag a great deal on the best summer beauty products, or stock up your suitcase before your holiday? You won't want to miss this limited-edition beauty bundle, saving you over £170 If you love beauty – and also love a bargain – then you need to check out this way to bag a huge bundle of summer skin, hair, make-up and sunscreen treats for a fraction of their usual cost, including big name brands such as Trinny London, Nuxe and Hello Sunday. OK! Beauty Box, know for being one of the UK's best value beauty subscription services, has just released a limited edition, one-off-purchase Summer Beauty Box containing 12 brilliant products, eight of which as full size. Altogether the products inside are worth over £220 but the box costs £49.99 to buy – a saving of over £170. This means that if you divide the cost by the number of products inside, every item costs you around £4.16, making it an excellent way to stock up or try out some new things – especially as one of the products inside is worth £40 just on its own. Even better, if you're already an OK! Beauty Box subscriber then you can get the box for £39.99 instead, giving each product a value of around £3.33. If you're not yet signed up but considering it, you can do so here and get your first monthly beauty box for £8.99 instead of the usual £15. My personal highlights inside this Summer Beauty Box are the Trinny London bronzer (worth £25 and perfectly compact), Hello Sunday The Take-Out One Invisible Sun Stick SPF30 (just the thing for sun protection touch-ups) and a cute little travel-size bottle of cult classic Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or Florale. Here's exactly what you get for your £50: Hello Sunday The Take-Out One Invisible Sun Stick SPF30 with Hyaluronic Acid - 30g full-size, RRP £20 Gruum Solstråler After Sun Face Oil - 30ml full-size, RRP £15 Glowcore Gua Sha - full-size, RRP £10.80 Trinny London Golden Glow Bronzer in the shade Naomi - 4g full-size, RRP £25 KVD Beauty Tattoo Pencil Liner Waterproof Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in the shade Trooper Black - 0.35g mini, RRP £13 Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or Florale - 10ml travel-size, RRP £4.40 Bondi Sands Tropical Rum Body Moisturiser - 200ml full-size, RRP £5.99 Bellapierre Cosmetics All Eyes On You Eyeshadow Palette - four shades full-size, RRP £25 Avant Reconstructing Keratin Complex Ultra Shine Hair Cream - 25ml travel-size, RRP £17 Mudmasky Glow-Up Cleanser - 60ml full-size, RRP £39.99 Balance Me Super Firming Body Oil - 30 ml travel-size, RRP £12 Amphora Aromatics Mint and Dead Sea Salts Deep Cleansing Face Mask - 100ml full-size, RRP £14.40 Plus a voucher to redeem for four copies of OK! Magazine, RRP £18.40 In my opinion it's the perfect mix of essentials to see you through summer (a bug tube of body lotion, a glowy face oil, a handbag-friendly SPF stick) plus suitcase-sized treats (the Nuxe body oil, a hair treatment) and perhaps some new things to try out (for example, the gua sha feels lovely and cooling in hot weather). Like all of these limited-edition boxes with huge savings, however, you haven't got long to shop it, as they typically sell out quickly – so if you want snap up £220 of these top beauty products for less than £50, now's the time to do so. If you're looking for alternative money-saving beauty boxes, either for yourself or to gift to someone else, Lookfantastic has launched its Summer Heroes Edit, containing the likes of Sol de Janeiro and Caudalie and worth over £150 but yours for £45. Meanwhile Cult Beauty's The Set For Sun Edit has a big focus on sun cream, and contains Elemis, Supergoop and The Inkey List; it costs £40 but worth over £175.
