You can't beat summer's blue skies, sundowners, plus the mood-boosting benefits of warmer weather! There are, however, some downsides to the sunny season. Sultry days can wreck havoc with your hair and make-up. Then there's the trial of getting your body out after months covered up in layers of clothing - and revealing feet you've tucked inside boots for months. But we firmly believe these short months are here to enjoy, so we've rounded up expert tips and hard-working buys to help you survive - and thrive - in the sun.
What should I do if I burn in the sun?
We all know it's never good to get sunburnt, but sometimes those rays can catch us out. If you've had too much sun, the first step is to calm the skin with a cold shower or place a cool, damp towel on the affected area. Next, slather your skin with aftersun to prevent dehydration and peeling. Lamelle Helase Rescue Repair Gel, R550, Skin Renewal, should be your go-to. You can keep it in the fridge until you need it-the calming ingredients are incredibly soothing when the skin is hot and angry. It works well on post-treatment skin, too. Then, stay out of the sun or cover up until your skin is calmer.
