Sunscreen formulas have been getting progressively lighter and more comfortable to wear. It's true that some of the higher factor versions do still leave a bit of a white cast on the skin, but most are sheer and fast to disappear after application. The four sunscreens...
As promised, the sunscreen Q&A with Dr Marko Lens. A little later than anticipated, because there were a few extra questions that I had, including one regarding the recent Which? report on SPFs. If you didn't read the Which? report then you can do so by clicking...
Now here's a product that I know a lot of people will have been waiting for. Dr Marko Lens, a renowned authority on everything "sun and skin" (he's a leading figure and active researcher in the fields of skin cancer and skin ageing) has launched a sunscreen. Not just...
