Buying quality suncream can get expensive, especially if you have a family to plaster with it. I recently bought a Lacura SPF 50+ Refreshing Dry Mist which cost £3.99 for 200ml.

Lacura is Aldi's own brand of skincare products. It sprayed on easily and wasn't at all greasy but my son's face got burnt and started to peel so I was very disappointed with it. I think perhaps you have to spray a lot to get the benefits.

Either way, it made me realise I wanted to stick to well-known brands rather than supermarket own brand cream. So, next time I went to Aldi I was pleased to see that Hawaiian Tropic was on the Specialbuys aisle. You could choose from SPF30 and SP50 so I opted for the one with greater protection.

The Hawaiian Tropic Luminosity SPF50 Sun Lotion generally costs between £12.99 and £14.99 for 180ml ( currently on offer for £12.

45 at Amazon ) whereas at Aldi, I could get it for just £4.99. I thought it was worth a go.

There's also the Hawaiian Tropic Island Glow Dry Spray Oil and the Body Butter in the Aldi deal.
