Skincare Essentials for Sunny Days – Sun-Safe Protection To Keep In Your Bag

by Clutched.

Skincare Protection

The UK sun is out in full force, so it’s time to act. Whether you’re 25 or 50, you need skincare that protects and preserves your complexion against UV rays, dehydration, and urban grime. With summer’s warmth, your routine should be portable, effective, and no-nonsense. Here are the must-have products to keep skin radiant on the go, with tips to stay covered.

 

Why Sun Protection Matters

Cloudy or not, up to 80% of UV rays penetrate, speeding up ageing and raising skin cancer risks. Heat and humidity can also dehydrate skin, making protection and hydration critical. Lightweight, multi-tasking formulas are the new standard for women. Here’s what to keep close.

 

 

Sunscreen – Your Core Defence

Broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is essential to block UVA and UVB rays. Choose lightweight, travel-friendly formulas.
