Top tips to stay safe in the sun with Skin + Me

Summer is right around the corner, and the weather is finally getting its act together! While we're all eager to step outside and soak up those glorious rays, there’s one small detail we can’t forget - protecting our skin.

You might not know this, but UV rays cause 86% of skin cancers and up to 80% of visible aging. Despite this fact, 91% of us admit that we aren't applying enough sunscreen*. By applying the correct amount of SPF, you’re giving your skin a solid first line of defence against sun damage, accelerated ageing and skin cancers, all while supporting your long-term skin health (not to mention giving yourself that radiant immediate glow!).

We’ve teamed up with Skin + Me to help you with some easy ways to stay safe in the sun (Stay tuned, because we’ve got a fab exclusive offer at the end of this article!). So, as well as remembering your sunscreen, here a few other things you can do to help protect your skin this summer…

Fashionably Protected

Before you rush out the door, why not consider an outfit that acts as a style statement and a shield? Think flowing overshirts or trousers, which are practical yet chic. And don't forget the trusty hat and sunglasses, offering you extra protection and some bonus style points!

Cool in the Shade

While the sun is tempting, let's not overdo it. Finding a shady nook or carrying a UV umbrella can help you dodge those intense rays without missing out on summer fun.

Stay hydrated

Hydration is key! Keeping your skin’s natural barrier strong and your body cool on hot days is as simple as sipping water. Grab a bottle, or better yet, use your favourite reusable one from home.
