My tips are always wear suncream and top it up every few hours when you are in the sun, always wear sunglasses especially when larking around in the pool (the sun reflects off the water) and drink plenty of water. Also I always go into the shade or indoors between 12 noon and 3.00pm when the sun is ...

As I have got older I have more and more marks, blemishes and moles on my body probably as I have always been out in the sun despite always wearing sun cream but in the last few years if I've noticed a mole getting darker or bigger I have always gone to my doctor and asked for an opinion. The answer...

During the summer I am out and about enough during the day to get enough Vit D from the sun but in the winter unless I am holidaying abroad I will sometimes take a Vit D supplement as if it is cold I rarely venture outside.

In the UK I only tend to apply suncream when it is actually sunny but when abroad I apply it first thing in the morning as I assume it will be sunny at some time. But I always wear sunglasses both home and away.

I always buy factor 30 or 40 for my face but also check it has a good uva rating. For my body I start off with factor 25 or 30 but once I have a reasonable tan I drop to factor 15 or 20.
If I am holidaying near the equator I wear factor 30+ all the time.
