For over 70 years, PIZ BUIN ® has been providing sun lovers everywhere with suncare solutions that help them achieve the perfect balance between getting a beautiful tan and the protection they need. In fact, PIZ BUIN ® was one of the first to make tanning safer by implementing the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) system in the 1960s. So wherever there’s sun, whether it’s at the beach, on a mountain or in the city, PIZ BUIN ® has been there helping people to enjoy life in the sun, safely. FEVERFEW PFE ™ helps protect against cell alterations, decreases UVB-induced erythema and helps repair UV-damaged cells. Up to 60% improvement on UVB induced erythema and redness.What the brand says:"The formula offers very high SPF protection to help prevent sun induced dark spots, while protecting skin from pollution induced oxidative stress. Its ultra-light texture is absorbed instantly and offers daily hydration without leaving a greasy finish on skin."

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. What the brand says: "Hyaluronic acid to support Anti Ageing. Up to 8 hours sun protection from just one application. Non-greasy, easily absorbed and water resistant." What shoppers say: "Found this moisturising, non-greasy and protected my skin," one customer who loved this sunscreen said. "Applied every day on holiday. Didn't cause me to break out, and didn't sting my eyes." What the brand says: "A daily lightweight facial moisturiser with SPF 50+ UVB/UVA protection and 3 essential ceramides, leaves skin feeling soothed, and hydrated for up to 24 hours, while protecting the skin's natural barrier. The gentle formula contains broad spectrum protection to defend the skin barrier against UVA & UVB rays that deplete ceramides." It’s no wonder that doctors, dermatologists and beauty editors alike will tell you that protecting your skin is of paramount importance. But sadly, not all sunscreens are created equal. As is often the case, it’s worth investing in a quality product that will do the job effectively and give you much-needed peace of mind whether you’re at the beach, park or just lounging in your garden.

What shoppers say: "On first application I thought it would leave me greasy as my face way quite shiny, however once fully absorbed this left my skin glowing, no redness, very hydrated and no clogged pores!" an impressed shopper said. "During the warmer weather in the UK I have replaced my daily moisturiser with this and can reapply any time of the day and my skin still glows." UVA rays – "aeging rays" - penetrate deeper and damage collagen and elastin, which can result in premature skin ageing and cancer. What shoppers say: "I have tried lots of other face sun creams and they always break me out and make me very shiny (even more expensive/more popular ones)," one person wrote in a five-star review. "So I researched a lot before buying a new one and this one has worked amazing, dries matte, smells nice and doesn't break me out at all!"

Believe it or not, the best thing you can do for your skin daily is to apply a sunscreen. Not only will this reduce the chances of your skin ageing prematurely, but it will also protect you against harmful skin cancers. And if you think sunscreen is only essential on sunny days, think again. For maximum protection, you’re supposed to apply it even when it’s cloudy outside – and even if you spend most of your time indoors.

The British Association of Dermatologists suggests that an SPF of 30 and a star rating of four out of five is “generally considered as a good standard of sun protection” (as long as this is paired with protective clothing and periods spent in the shade). The EU recommendation is that creams should offer UVA protection that’s at least a third of the SPF, so if you see a bottle with the letters UVA in a circle, you can be assured that it meets this minimum requirement. Sunscreens that offer strong protection against both UVB and UVA radiation are termed “broad spectrum” products.
