Sun Care & Tanning

<-h2->Sun cream and after-sun care<-h2-> Suncare and tanning earn their place through what they prevent as much as what they give you, and our edit covers sun creams, after-sun, self-tan mousses, gradual tanners and mitts across a range of formulas and depths. Broad-spectrum protection comes first, chosen as something you will genuinely reapply at two in the afternoon rather than the highest number on the shelf that you then resent. After-sun cools everything down at the end of a long day outdoors, which is a reward in itself. Hands, chest and the tops of the feet are the places most often forgotten, and the places that tell on you. Self-tan is the slower ritual: exfoliate, apply in light layers, build over a few evenings and end up with a depth of colour that reads as your own rather than borrowed. The result is skin that looks well rather than recently cooked, and a holiday you do not spend hiding indoors. She looks after her skin and still gets the colour.
