Mineral sunscreens sit on the outer layer of the skin and reflect the damaging UV rays away.

Chemical sunscreens however, work by sinking into the skin and providing protection on a deeper level.

Invest in a decent chemical sunscreen and apply it first thing when you get up in the morning,  before you leave the house.

This way, you’ll give it chance to sink in properly and give yourself a base level of protection to add to all day when you’re out on the beach!
