Best Facial SPF50+
Simon Ourian M.D. SPF50 Protection UVA + UVB Filters, £69, simonourianmd.com
“Long lasting, and absorbs easily and quickly into the skin leaving a soft sheen, which looked beautiful. Make-up seemed to sit nicely on top without sliding. But at £69 for 50ml I’m unlikely to purchase again.”
Best Body SPF30 Spray
Rituals The Ritual of Karma Sun Protection Milky Spray SPF30, £22.90, rituals.com
“Love that this sprays on so easily and is enriched with a hydra-boost complex, with aloe vera and algae, so it’s very soothing on the skin.”
Best Facial SPF30
The Organic Pharmacy Daily Mineral SPF30 UV Protection, £45, theorganicpharmacy.com
“Loved everything about this sunscreen. Easy to apply, felt really soft on my skin, no overbearing smell, and I didn’t feel like I needed to keep re-applying, unlike some sunscreens. SPF30 for my face is perfect and it wasn’t over perfumed – my skin felt great!”
Best Body SPF50
Riemann P20 Original SPF50+ Spray, £19.99, boots.com
“This is a fantastic SPF option for the whole family. I love that it comes in a convenient spray format with a lightweight texture. It’s also water- and sweat-resistant, and lasts all day. My kids dislike the thick consistency of traditional sun creams, so this spray is perfect for them as well.”
Best Anti-redness & Pigmentation SPF
ALTRUIST Dermatologist Anti-Redness & Pigmentation SPF50, £11.50, altruistsun.com
“As someone who almost always has red cheeks, and in younger years tried to hide them under green concealer, I really liked this product as it’s SPF with a green tint, making it perfect for my cheeks during the summer! A really fab product. Protects against blue light and hormonal pigmentation too, so a winner.”
Best Body Fake Tan
St. Tropez Self Tan Express Mousse, £24.99, superdrug.com
“No orange glow, just a really natural-looking tan that fades evenly. I love that it develops in a short time, allowing me to shower before bed and avoiding the sticky skin feeling at night, not to mention no tan stains on the bed clothes.”
Best Face Take Tan
St. Tropez Express Sunlit Skin Self Tan, £19.33, boots.com
“Very subtle hint of colour that looked completely natural and gave my skin a lovely glow. Really great for my no make-up days. Almost scentless and very easy to apply.”
Best Lip SPF
Rituals Fortune Balm SPF30, £13.90, rituals.com
“Loved this factor 30 lip balm. Easy to apply with a twist-up stick, smells great and is very effective in the sun. Great value for money.”
