The sun has finally started showing itself, which means we can ditch the tights and rock our favourite pair of sunglasses. But are our faces ready for the sun’s harmful rays?
Most of us know the importance of wearing sunscreen in hot weather, but some may be using the same product for their face and body – and this can lead to oily skin and pesky break-outs.
These lighter formulas are designed with gentle ingredients that won’t irritate your skin and offer high levels of sun protection to prevent dark spots and premature ageing – keep one of these heroes in your handbag for a healthy glow this summer.
