The sun is out, temperatures are rising, and all you want to do is get outside. But don't forget your skin. UV radiation is the number one cause of premature skin ageing.
Why sunscreen isn't a luxury
The Belgian Cancer Foundation recommends at least SPF30 daily, even on cloudy days. Yet many only reach for the bottle when already at the beach.
