Summer has officially begun, and for many of us that means packing our suitcases and jetting off for a week of sun, sea and sand. To get you ready for the hot weather, we at Beauty Expert have hand-picked some of our favourite products to use before, during and after sun exposure. So whether you’re off to a far-flung, exotic location or donning your swimwear and soaking up the rays in the comfort of your own garden – these products will prepare, protect and nourish your skin to help prevent the premature ageing (and not to mention the painful sunburn!) caused by the sun’s UV rays, whilst helping you to achieve an even tan safely.

 

Preparing your skin for sun exposure
