In summer, sun and sunshine, don’t forget to use sunscreen. Protecting yourself from the sun is essential, especially in summer. There are sun protection products for skin and hair for every type, every activity and every age group.

Not all sunscreens are the same. The following two products by Coola and Daylong are great when you’re doing sports, as they both have a high sun protection factor and are water and sweat resistant, as the manufacturers promise.
