Choose a sunscreen with a high SPF and UVA rating. The British Skin Foundation recommend you opt for a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, as well as a UVA rating of four or five stars. Sunscreens that offer both UVA and UVB protection are sometimes called ‘broad spectrum’.

Make sure you apply sunscreen liberally 15 to 30 minutes before exposure and reapply every two hours, or more frequently if you are swimming or undertaking any strenuous activity that causes you to sweat.
Don't forget to apply sunscreen on those easy to miss spots too, such as your neck and the backs of your ears. If you are bald or thinning on top, and unable to wear a hat (which would offer the form of best protection), make sure you apply plenty of sunscreen there too.
Remember, sunscreen should be used as an addition, rather than instead of, protective clothing and shade!
