Your guide to get beach ready skin this summer.

1. Le Tan Coconut Lotion SPF 30, $6 2. Invisible Zinc 50+, $25 3. Neutrogena UltraSheer Sunscreen SPF 85, $23 4. Nivea Sun Sunscreen Lotion Light Feel SPF 30, $12.

STING RAYS
Use a sunscreen that protects from both UVA and UVB rays. UVA damage elastin and collagen, two elements that support skin structure and keep it looking youthful. UVB burn the skin and are the main cause of cancer.

FOR THE FACE
Use sunscreen formulated for the face and blend down to the neck and decollatage. If water sports are your thing, wear tinted goggles and waterproof sunscreen, always reapplying once you leave the water.

PROTECT AND SHIELD
Avoid the sun from 11.30am to 2.30pm. Protect the head, neck and eyes with a wide-brimmed hat and polarised sunglasses. To avoid hair colour fading, apply a leave-in product before diving in.
