Layer up.

So far this week, we’ve enjoyed some of the nicest weather we’ve had in a while and it looks like it’s set to continue.

In fact, some parts of Ireland are looking set for the hottest day of the year today.

Met Éireann forecasters have said that mist and fog patches will clear in most parts of the country this morning, which will lead to plenty of sunny spells.

With temperatures reaching highs of 21C to 26C in some parts of the country, it’s also important that we keep skin protection in mind.

Yes, it might not be the most glamorous of skincare products but SPF is by far one of the most important.

Long gone are the days of smelly, oily sunscreens that leave you looking like you’ve spread mayo on your face, now we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to protecting our skin from those UV rays.

Here are four (and a cool new product to protect your hair) that we’d recommend.

 

1. IMAGE Skincare Prevention Ultra Sheer Spray SPF45 – €39.50

 

2. P20 Continuous Spray – €30

 

3. Yon-Ka SPF20 Body Spray – €42.50

 

4. Académie Sun Stick Sensitive Areas SPF50+ – €23

 

5. Penneys PS… Sun Protect Hair and Scalp Sun Spray SPF30 – €4
