'I love this spf it soaks right in immediately and gives great protection. I can’t feel it on my skin at all and I don’t have any reaction to it at all' - Bethan - submitted via Balmonds
How to use:
Apply liberally before sun exposure as the last step in your routine, i.e. after cleansers, moisturisers or serums, and before your foundation. If your skin is feeling particularly dry, moisturise first with a rich balm or cream before applying your sunscreen.
Can be worn under make-up.
Reapply at frequent intervals throughout the day, especially after swimming, exercise or sweating.
Make sure you’ve covered all areas of exposed skin on your face, neck and decolletage.
Not recommended children under 6 months as the NHS recommends keeping babies completely out of the sun before this age.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our in-depth FAQ is here to help answer your questions.
What fit or size of clothing should I buy that is best for eczema?
Sensitive skin and areas of eczema benefit from being covered and kept at a constant temperature. If a garment is loose, the fabric will move over the skin during movement and any rough areas of eczema will catch on the fabric and cause discomfort. Wearing clothing that is too big creates folds in the fabric that make some areas hotter (and itchier) than others and uncomfortable to sit or lie on.
The fit should allow unhindered movement and be fairly close-fitting without being tight. Beware skin-on-skin contact within the garment, especially under the arms or between the legs if the gusset is too low.
Will I get hot in your eczema nightwear?
Adults or children with severe eczema need to be kept as cool as possible - extra heat produces extra itching. For anyone with severe eczema, we do not recommend using duvets with our nightwear. It is usually sufficient to have a cotton sheet and maybe a light cotton blanket.
We recommend keeping a set of nightwear and a spare pillowcase (and for kids a bedtime toy) in a bag in the fridge to be cooling/soothing at bedtime. Older children enjoy being 'in charge' of their eczema and often respond well to having a spare top with integral mittens in the fridge that they can help themselves to when they are having an itchy period.
Which fabric is best for eczema?
The best-known eczema-friendly fabrics are organic cotton, silk, Tencel and bamboo. These natural fabrics are soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic, not to mention better for the environment. These are all smooth fabrics that do not have harsh textile fibres, which can prickle sensitive skin and cause physical irritation.
What washing powder should I use?
Choosing the right washing powder for your clothes is crucial. Ensure it is non-biological, SLS-free and ideally has the Allergy UK seal of approval.
Contact irritation occurs when the skin gets irritated by a product or fragrance. This can lead to itching which further aggravates the skin barrier. SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate) is a detergent that makes many products ‘froth’. It is found in many washing powders, shampoos, soaps, shower gels and cleaning products. It breaks down oils, disrupting and drying the skin barrier in sensitive skin and is best avoided by eczema sufferers.
Stronger fragranced products and those that contain dyes can also irritate. Choose a washing powder or liquid with the Allergy UK seal of approval, awarded to products with reduced allergen content that have been dermatologically tested.
We also recommend drying clothes and bedding inside if you (or your child) have a pollen allergy or a tendency towards hay fever.
Is it ok to have a bath before I put my eczema nightwear on?
Consider bathing in the morning in warm (not hot) water. Moving from a warm bath to a cold bed (i.e. changes in temperature) makes the skin itchier and can disrupt sleep, making it best avoided just before bed.
Whenever you have baths, try to keep the bathroom warm so that you (or your child) aren’t stepping out of warm water into a cold environment when getting in or out of the bath.
