Everybody is aware nowadays of the dangers of sunbathing, but you don’t have to lie for hours in the sun to put yourself at risk. Sun protection should be worn on exposed areas whenever you are outdoors for more than just a short period of time. If you are outdoors for a prolonged period, make sure to top up your sun cream frequently, especially if you are swimming or exercising. Also, it’s good to be aware that just because you’re using a high factor doesn’t mean you’re protected all day, it will still need to be reapplied.

When using suncream on the face, apply it on top of your moisturiser before applying any make-up.

If you have been in the sun, then an after sun cream will add lost moisture to the skin, leaving it softer and more supple, as well as helping to prolong a tan.
