Sunscreens to add to your summer beauty routine

Some water-resistant lotions are so thick they take ages to rub in and are irritating. This lotion is neither – it feels light and soothing, and spreads so easily that you feel like you have nothing on.

Try it: NIVEA Sun Ultra Beach Protect Sunscreen Spray SPF 50+

This lightweight oil-free sunscreen for the face doesn’t leave you looking or feeling greasy, and contains aloe vera so it’s soothing on sensitive skin, too. Plus it has a slight tint to enhance your natural complexion.

Try it: Cetaphil Suntivity SPF 50+ Tinted Lotion Daily Face

With an ultra-creamy texture, this sunscreen for the face feels like a rich moisturiser and sinks straight into your skin. It also contains plant-based antioxidants to help protect against the signs of ageing.

Try it: Clarins Sunscreen Control Cream For Face SPF 50+

This new generation oil sunscreen gives skin a flattering sheen that isn’t greasy at all – the fact that it’s a sunscreen is just a bonus – and it smells fresh, too.

Try it: La Roche-Posay Anthelios Nutritive Oil SPF 50

This spray is nice and cooling on your skin, so you actually want to reapply it when you’re hot and sweaty. And the scent is very male-friendly.
