I have a confession.
I don’t much like sunscreen.
I know I am not meant to say that.
I don’t like the feel, the smell or the idea.
Whenever I can I seek out the shade, wear a hat or stay inside.
After half a life lived in Australia, I understand the perils of those warming rays… and I am one of those types that burn, who takes on the appearance of a lobster and promptly blisters and peels.
Not so much a glow as a fire… that’s me and sun… not a match made in heaven.
The truth is I enjoy the sun, lap it up really… especially after a cold and damp European winter.
Nothing feels as re-energising as sunlight and heat on the back… even squinting into the light makes a welcome change from the months of darkness.
As much as I don’t like to wear sunscreen… I always do and in particular on my face and neck… and hands.
I have been meaning to tell you about my fantastic find last summer… an SPF 50 primer from Chantecaille. This sunscreen is incredible.
sounding like a copy writer… I know… but it’s true… :)
Most importantly it works, no burn.
One application lasts forever and I usually only apply it in the morning, unless it’s a beach holiday or pool party.
I test drove it everyday last summer… where the sun is hot and fierce… nothing, not a tinge of pink.
I gave it to two of my besties in London… they raved.
I’m thinking I need to try more products from this range… if they are half as good as this sunscreen… then I am in… xv
