Make The Most Of Summer – Soltan Celebrates 70 Years

Soon we’ll be outdoors making the most of the warmer weather and longer days. But everyone has individual needs from their sun cream so it can be a baffling task to find a solution that suits you best.

Luckily, Boots is on hand with an extensive variety of products in the Soltan range to suit everyone. You can find everything from suncare for sensitive skin, sports to products specially designed to help give your tan a little helping hand. So as Boots Soltan celebrates its 70th  birthday this year, you can be confident that you are protected with the suncare that’s right for you.

What’s more, not only do all of the sun protection products in the Soltan range have five star, triple protection but they also offer great value. Once again, all Soltan products will be available on a buy one get one free offer at boots. So you can be assured your skin is safe from UVA rays while you make the most of summer and get outside and enjoy the sun safely.

NEW Soltan Once Lotion

Perfect for those of us reluctant to directly expose our face to the sun but keen to have all over glow, try  Soltan Once Lotion with Gradual Tan Face SPF15, 50ml, £9.99. Soltan Once is also moisturising, whereas sunlight tanning is drying. What’s more, all Soltan Once products work for up to six hours and contain light diffusing particles to smooth out the appearance of your skin and disguise fine lines and wrinkles, helping you look good and feel great.

For head to toe protection from just one application try Soltan Once Spray SPF15, 30 and 40, 200ml, £16.79. Mike Brown, Boots Suncare Scientific Advisor explains “Soltan Once with gradual tan includes a tanning ingredient that gently adds colour to your skin. Instead of tanning your skin with sunlight, which causes long-term damage, you can enjoy the sun safely by protecting your skin and allowing the tanning ingredient to provide your colour instead.”

Travel

For protection on the move, try one of Soltan’s many travel size products: Soltan Takeaway is available in both SPF8 and 15 and comes in a handy 75ml, £7.68. Alternatively for quick and easy application, try Soltan Mini Spray 75ml, £5.24, available in SPF15, 25 and 50. Perfect for a weekend away or popping in your handbag to ensure you’ve got suncare covered wherever you are.

Sensitive Skin

Soltan’s Sensitive range is light and easily absorbed, making applying sun cream easy and hassle free. Soltan Sensitive is available in either a Lotion or Spray SPF15, 30 and 50, 200ml, £9.44.  All sensitive products are fragrance free and include shea butter, a naturally intensive moisturising agent to reduce dryness. Mike goes on to explain, “Those who suffer from sensitive or extreme skin conditions such as dermatitis or eczema require specially formulated products that won’t exacerbate or compound the skin condition. Soltan Sensitive products are formulated using the mildest of ingredients to reduce the chance of an irritation or allergic reaction. The utmost care is taken by fully qualified safety assessors to ensure we know the history of every ingredient in Soltan Sensitive suncare, so the end product is suitable for even the most sensitive of skins.”

Extreme

Mike tells us “Sweat and water can wash off sun cream from your skin reducing your protection and making you particularly vulnerable to the sun. So when you’re by the water or being active, a durable, hard wearing sun cream, high SPF and UVA are all must haves.” Boots is ready to help with suncare to suit the active members of the family, whether they’re diving in the sea or at the school sports day, with Soltan Extreme Lotion SPF25, 100ml, £7.34. The entire Soltan Extreme range has a unique design to guard against the effects of sun, wind and water whilst being non greasy and easy to apply.  Soltan Extreme is also available in a handy Mini Spray SPF25, 75ml, £5.24 so carry it with you and you can be protected whenever the mood to get active hits you!

Places you forget…

It’s easy to forget your ears, nose and even scalp when thinking about sun protection but all of these areas are actually more vulnerable to harmful rays than other parts of your body. A burnt scalp can be particularly unpleasant and hair is subject to drying and loss of condition in the sun’s rays. But fear not, Boots is on hand to help with Soltan Hair and Scalp Protection SPF25, 100ml, £8.39 and Soltan Sunstick SPF25, 25g, £3.66 to keep you looking and feeling your best.

Lastly… when the sun goes down

It is also important to continue looking after your skin once you come in from the sun. Not only will it help hydrate your skin and calm the effects of over-exposure to the sun but it’ll also help you keep your tan longer. Soltan Aloe Vera Gel, 200ml, £4.99 feels soft and refreshing to apply while the aloe vera acts to gently soothe your skin, allowing it to heal. Or after a long day in the sun, try Soltan Shimmering Aftersun Gel, 200ml, £7.34 to give you skin a little evening shimmer and then keep yourself bronzed for longer with Soltan Sun Tan Prolonger, 200ml, £5.49.
