Why is sun protection important?
Speaking about the importance of sunscreen Dr Christian told Closer magazine, "You need protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
"SPF 15 blocks 93 per cent of uVB rays, while SPF 30 keeps out 97 per cent and spF 50 does 98 per cent. Aim for SPF 30 and never go below SPF 15, even once you have a tan. Water-resistant ones work for about 40 minutes."
He went on to add, "Don’t use all-day ones, as they get weaker over time. reapply regularly so you know you’re protected. Lotions, creams, gels and sprays are all good, as long as you put plenty on.
"SPF in your foundation isn’t enough for a day on the beach – you need proper sun cream. Total sunblock can be good for kids’ ears and necks if they’re out all day."
