Sun cream is always number one on our travel toiletries checklist, be it for summer vacay or winter sun. Not only does applying suncream prevent your skin from getting burnt, but it is also one of the best anti-ageing products around as it protects your skin from harmful and damaging UV rays. As we learn more about the harmful effects of different types of rays, beauty brands are adapting their products and use new technology to protect our skin to the max. It’s super important to pick a sun cream that’s right for your skin type as we are all so different. Here are some of our favourites to help you make your choice.
