We've had a few beautiful weeks of hot weather in the UK - and it's about to get even warmer this weekend. Whether you've been enjoying the sunny spells in a beer garden, or simply your own back garden, it's still important to protect yourself from the sun.
We're used to stocking up on sun cream ahead of holidays abroad. But with clear skies and temperatures in the early twenties at home, it's vital to do the same here.
Too much sun can be damaging and while sunburns can be extremely painful, it also increases your chance of skin cancer. It can also cause heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which could be fatal.
