Sun protection and tanning: how to get a safe tan

We all know that too much sun-worship is bad for us: just think skin cancer, wrinkles, sun spots and prematurely-aged skin. But you can't wrap yourself up in a protective cocoon of 100% sun block all holiday...and we all like building up a healthy glow!

The good news is that, just like gradual self-tanners and good old fake, sun protection is becoming increasingly tailored to our skin types and sun habits. Take our test to find out which sun bunny you are and take your pick from our selection of SPF products for your profile.

Enjoy the sun this summer...just make sure you enjoy it safely!
