1 Most people don’t apply enough sunscreen. An adult needs two tablespoons of sunscreen to cover their body, meaning one 200ml bottle gives about six full-body applications. Don’t forget toes, ears and along the edge of swimwear. Try Sun Smart Moisture Protect Sun Lotion SPF30 and Sun Smart Ultra Defence SPF50+ to give sensitive areas extra protection.

2 Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before you go outside. Ultrasun Sports Transparent Sun Protection SPF30 (also available in SPF50), was designed with sports enthusiasts in mind, so it has your back for outdoor exercise as well as afternoons on the sun lounger in the garden. The spray bottle works upside down to get those hard-to-reach areas.

3 It’s not just skin that needs protecting – eyes are vulnerable to sun damage as well. The rule? Always have a pair of sunglasses on standby – all ours have lenses with 100% UV protection and look seriously stylish, too.

4 Water babies, beware! The period between waiting for skin to dry off after swimming and re-applying sunscreen is a burning danger point. To the rescue: Sun Smart Active Aerosol Spray SPF50, which can be applied to wet skin.

5 For day-to-day summer sun exposure, a foundation with SPF won’t offer adequate protection. Save face by wearing a UV primer – Autograph Daily Defence primer is super silky and infused with brightness-boosting Vitamin C, so sits brilliantly under make-up. Try Nuxe Melting Spray, which is easily absorbed and leaves skin moisturised and dewy, making it a perfect base for make-up.
