Boots shoppers' top-rated facial sun creams from £8 that won't leave you greasy or sticky

With summer in full swing, many of us will be keen to soak up the sun over the next few weeks whether it's from our back gardens or on holidays abroad - but it's important to stay safe while we're at it.

Wherever you're planning to sunbathe this month, wearing sunscreen is vital if you want to protect your skin from painful sunburn and premature ageing, as well keeping the risk of skin cancer at bay. But with so many brands out there at the likes of Boots and Superdrug on the high street, it can be difficult to know which sun cream will work best for you and your skin.

It can be particularly tricky to find a sunscreen to suit your face, where your skin can often be more sensitive than the rest of your body - meaning that applying thick cream can often lead to breakouts, not to mention making your face feel sticky and greasy, which is the last thing you want when you're trying to enjoy the sunshine.
