There's nothing you like better than a day in the rays to top up your tan, but that can mean you're slack when it comes to suncare. To help protect against skin ageing and other effects of the sun, you should choose a sun protection product with an SPF of 15 or more and reapply regularly. That doesn't mean you have to compromise on the tan though - there are some great products that can protect while helping your skin get some colour.
