Beach Bag Basics
Before heading out into the sun, get yourself a brightly coloured beach bag that’s roomy enough to carry everything you need. This bag is your sun survival kit. Always carry lots of suntan lotion and make sure you buy one from a well-reputed company. It needs to protect you from the sun so look for one with a SPF of at least 20. Shiseido Suncare Extra Smooth Sun Protection lotion for face and body has a SPF of 33 and is a good bet for most skin types. The ultimate for anyone who is very sensitive to the sun, is La Prairie’s Soleil Suisse Cellulaire Anti-Rides with a SPF of 50. No UVAs or UBSs will get through this lotion and it is light and smooth enough for use on the face. Apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before you step into the sun, as the product needs to be on your skin for a while before it starts working.
