SEASONAL SUNSCREEN

Our skin is largely protected with clothing during winter. ‘But the face, head and neck tend to be left exposed so using a daily high protection, broad-spectrum SPF 30-50 is important,’ says Laura. And remember, the fairer your skin the higher the protection you need to use. ‘Look for sun cream with five stars of UVA protection to give the highest levels of defence,’ adds Dr Friedmann. ‘Children’s sunscreen is a great choice for sensitive skin.’
