Here comes the sun..

When it comes to sunblock, there are no shortcuts. The harsh African sun is not to be messed with so it's best to load up on your sunblock and reapply continuously if you out frolicking in the sun. I remember as a child having sunburn and it's just the worst thing ever as it puts a dull grey spell on the rest of the holiday. Not to mention that painful sting when someone taps you on the back to ask you something awefully stupid! 

Basic sun protection should include nothing less than a 30 SPF in my books. Most moisturisers have SPF's which is great so your face is covered, and there's less chance of spooky white face as it absorbs with your daily application. I definitely prefer a body spray to a lotion as it's less messy, easier to apply, and because I don't like greasy hands on the beach.

Reapply after swimming and make sure you use a after-sun body lotion to protect and nourish your skin after spending a sunny time outside. 

Take care on the beaches and top your look with a fabulous hat and chic sunglasses because you're that kind of girl.

Enjoy the sunny days ahead..
