Whether you are a sun worshipper, shade hogger or outdoor adventurer, we cannot stress the importance of adding sunscreen to your warm weather plans this summer and beyond.
A reliable sunscreen should be one of the most important items on your holiday check list, especially if you want to avoid looking like a peeling lobster during your hard earned time off.
These fast-absorbing sprays help to avoid the white residue found in some thicker, more laborious formulas, and ensure a quicker and easier application even on sandy or wet skin – so you can focus on what really matters; sun, sea and sangria.
There are also innovative features like, Soleil Toujours, that appears white when first applied so you can see any possible missed areas. Institut Esthederm and Eucerin also offer multi-directional sprays so you can target those hard to reach spots like the centre of the back and shoulders.
Apply 15 minutes before heading into the sun and spray each area of the body for six second. Reapply every two hours for optimum protection and get as much shade as possible during peak hours.
