1.ISDIN Transparent Spray SPF 50 (250ml) | Wet Skin Sunscreen
No holiday is complete without decent sunscreen. Applying and reapplying sunscreen can be a chore but this ISDIN sprays evenly on the skin, making a welcome change from the more laborious application of traditional thick creams. Best of all, it’s effective on wet skin, ideal if you enjoy watersports or have small children who love the swimming pool.

2.Nivea Sun Aftersun
Sun, sea and sand can be quite drying on the skin, so slathering on a cooling aftersun after your evening shower is always a winner. This Nivea Sun Aftersun version is a classic and contains aloe vera to soothe and moisturize - perfect if you’ve caught a little too much sun. Store in the fridge for extra coolness.
