Don't let the heat ruin your summer

Getting sunburnt or suffering from heatstroke on holiday can be avoided with a few expert tips

While we hope for a long and hot summer, looking after yourself in the heat is essential. We all know it’s important to stay safe in the sun, which starts with wearing sunscreen with broad protection. This means looking for a high SPF, as well as a high number of stars out of five, to ensure that you’re getting protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Apply sunscreen generously and regularly – most of us don’t apply enough. Plus, don’t forget a hat and sunglasses to protect your eyes.
