Your Complete Guide to Sunscreen

The skin on your face tends to be more sensitive than the skin on your body, so it's a good idea to use a sunscreen that's specially formulated for this area. Some people worry that sunscreen can cause acne. If your skin is prone to breakouts, look for lightweight, non-greasy formulas. We love Ultrasun's Anti Pollution Face Fluid, which protects the skin from the sun and pollution and doesn't contain potentially irritating perfumes. Use as your daily moisturiser for long-lasting protection that your skin will love. Skincare experts Clinique are known for creating effective formulas that won't upset your skin. Try the Superdefence City Block Cream for a sheer finish that works well under make up. The oil-free formula is non-comedogenic [which means it won't clog pores] and contains hydrating hyaluronic acid. Top up your sunscreen over make up with Ultrasun's Face & Scalp Mist, which delivers a gentle mist of transparent sun protection.

We've got everything you need for a summer holiday at M&S, including the best body sunscreens. Our Sun Smart Sensitive Moisture Protect Sun Lotion is extra water resistant, perfect for days on the beach or by the pool (although you should still remember to reapply all over your body after swimming.) Ultrasun's Family Sun Cream provides high level protection and is great for sensitive skin – it's recommended by dermatologists for those prone to both allergies and prickly heat. Check out the brand's Summer Essentials Kit, which contains Family Sun Cream, a facial sunscreen and lip protection. If you're looking for a body sunscreen that smells heavenly, try Nuxe's Delicious Lotion. It is also water resistant and contains sweet orange and coconut for scent that smells like summer bottled.
