Calypso Once a Day Sun Protection Lotion with SPF 10

Product Information

You will need to dry your skin before reapplying sunscreen, unless you’re using our Calypso Dry Oil Wet Skin Spray. I used the factor 30 in Colombia and it did exactly as advertised - provided non-greasy all day protection from one application. Use in the water - Calypso warns that even ‘water-resistant Once A Day sunscreens’ can still be washed off if you spend a long time in the water, or if you dry yourself with a towel. While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it to be accurate, it is not a substitute for reading the product packaging and label prior to use.

I apply SPF 10 Once-a-day after breakfast and lie in the sun all day long, and never burn, unless my wife has missed a bit on my back! The letters "UVA" inside a circle is a European industry standard marking, which is contained on all Calypso products.

Professor Brian Diffey adds that sun creams generally offer ‘very good’ water resistance these days (though be aware water resistance claims also come with caveats, and the products we tested didn't hold up well to real-life conditions in our 2016 investigation), which is good if you're planning on spending time in the pool or in the sea.

You might have guessed that I love being in the sun, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin is one of nature’s best cheerer uppers, but it’s also really important to me to enjoy the sun in a safe and healthy way (my friends and family will tell you I’m always making sure they’ve got sun protection). The Calypso Once A Day Sun Protection Lotion SPF 10 200ml has been formulated to bind more strongly to your skin, meaning it will protect you for longer. However, please remember that even water-resistant Once A Day sunscreens can still be washed off if you spend a long time in the water or if you dry yourself with a towel, so you might need to reapply. Apply evenly and generously to all exposed areas 15 minutes before sun exposure, then rub in well to allow the product to bind with the skin and form a protective film against UVA and UVB rays. It's clear that there are plenty of conditions to fulfil to get the claimed protection from once-a-day products, which may be hard to achieve if you're on a day out in the sun.

I used the factor 20 for a trip to Greece in April and I didn't burn and ended up with a lovely tan - I've found my preferred brand of sunscreen and can't see that I'll change any time soon! We would always recommend reapplying your sun protection if you’ve been in the water for a long time, have been sweating excessively or after towelling. Sweating, swimming, towel drying, or rubbing your skin on an abrasive surface can all impact protection levels and how the sunscreen lasts. Boots Soltan Kids Once, Calypso Once a Day and Riemann P20 Once a Day are among the brands we've found claiming to offer all day protection. Apply evenly and generously 15 minutes before sun exposure, which will allow the product to bind with the skin and form a protective film against UVA and UVB rays.

A spokesperson told us that all of its sun creams are designed for 'longevity' but that it found the use of the word 'durable' more 'appropriate' than once a day. A spokesperson said: 'Soltan Once products clearly state how they should be used and when to reapply. I tried Calypso and didn't get burnt but my skin felt as though it was burning during the day so I went back to P20 spf20. Reapply sunscreen after swimming, sweating heavily, towel drying, or rubbing your skin in a way that might cause the cream to rub off.

I used P20 and tanned, I then found calypso OAD, for a test I did half left side with P20 and right side with Calypso, I did this for 3 days in Spain, there was no difference, I was protected the same by both.

However, some contain ingredients like keratin (made from sheep's wool) or beeswax (made by bees) that vegans may wish to avoid. It is always vital to be generous and vigilant when applying sunscreen, to ensure all exposed skin is protected.

My skin is v-e-r-y pale and I don't tan easily - one time I applied a layer of fake tan before heading over to Egypt and while others were getting browner I was getting paler lol!Calypso Once A Day SPF10/SPF15/SPF20/SPF25/SPF30/SPF50; Protect your skin from harmful sun radiation 10/15/20/25/30/50 times longer than your natural protection. I do find that when I sweat it does seem to get in the eyes but I have found that if I apply on my face then wipe clean around my eyes with a wet flannel I don't have a problem. Calypso Once a Day Sun Protection only needs to be applied to the skin once and protects you all day long. That sounds horrible Gary, all I can say is no matter how hot it's got in Egypt that I've never sweated so much the lotion has ran down into my eyes. I found the Calypso a lot less greasy than the other one - it didn't feel like I'd varnished myself after applying it.
