In the city of Utrecht NL they have free sunblock stations spread around the city. It shows the temp and UV rating. But buying it in store is crazy expensive and often the quality is poor. Some fancy tiny spray bottles go up to 12 euros, only good for 3 to 4 uses. wtf. Imagine being ginger, there’s a ginger tax called sunblock.
I buy the store brand from the local supermarket. €2,99 for a 250 ml bottle of SPF 30 and it works great. I never get sunburn, even during multi hour bike rides in the blazing sun.
mate it’s £5-10 for a 200ml bottle I’d hardly call that cheap

WTF are those prices. I’d start looking into importing from abroad …

Here in the Netherlands it’s expensive as well. Like a small bottle of name-brand sunscreen is €30.
