SKIN SAVIOUR: SURVIVING SUMMER
This summer has brought some *mixed* weather - and while we seem to be having more cloudy days than not at the moment, that doesn't mean the UV isn't just as strong. Dismissing overcast weather is one of the easiest ways to get sunburnt, so applying sunscreen on a day to day basis really can save your skin.
The team at Skinstitut care about keeping your skin protected at all times, so we've compiled a list of our top picks from their SPF range - so you can make sure you're being sun-safe even when the sun's playing hide and seek.
