Yes, I realise I’m always banging on about the importance of sun care, but this time, the cost of indulging me is as low as it’ll ever be. Long before the UK spring sprang, I travelled to three sunnier climates and wore one sunscreen (costing just £8) more than any other. And I will pack it again and again.
If you can’t face layering sunscreen over moisturiser, either because you don’t have the time or because too much product feels unpleasant (I relate), you really need Garnier Ambre Solaire’s Super UV Anti-Dryness Protection Cream SPF50+ or – for the less dry, more combination-skinned – the same brand’s Super UV Anti-age Face Protection Cream SPF50+. Both are new and utterly remarkable, but look much the same (each is packaged in a tube containing cardboard, cutting plastic by 49%), so let’s start with the former.
