With so many to choose from, how do you go about deciding which sun cream is for you? We have broken down the six things to look for when researching your perfect sun care solution. - Choose the right SPF depending on your skin type, use our skin type guide to find out yours
- Ensure you have broad-spectrum UVB and UVA protection to prevent sun burn as well as skin ageing
- For babies, kids and sensitive skin types choose physical UV filters like zinc oxide and avoid synthetic chemical UV filters
- Choose a water resistant formulation if you intend on swimming or doing sports
- To maintain a healthy looking youthful appearance choose a sunscreen that also has anti-ageing ingredients such as vitamins and anti-oxidants
- To avoid that pasty and pale look go for a sunscreen that is non-whitening and transparent on application so your natural skin colour can shine through
