Travel Essential... Sun Cream!

How many times have you regretted not applying sun screen? How many times have you just put on sun screen, only to wash it all off five minutes later in the pool? How many times have you said "O I'll only be out in it for five minutes," and then proceed to get burnt to a crisp?

Guilty, guilty, guilty!! I'll be honest, I have not always been the kindest to my skin in the sun. (There was even a horrendous experiment with my friend's tanning oil that resulted in me spending a few days with a bucket of ice on  my legs!!!) However, at some point in the last few years, I realised that I was never meant to be a bronzed goddess. A sallow skinned ginge?! Even if that was to be the case, it still does not mean that my skin does not need protection from the sun.

For a few years now, I have used the same brand of sun cream by Piz Buin. I love it because it is not greasy and it is very easy to apply. You can purchase it as both a spray and a cream. As long as I apply it, I never get burnt. Even out here, in the heat of Oman, one application is perfect for an afternoon on the beach. Piz Buin also comes in a number of factors and contains UV protection. The thing that I love the most about it, is it's smell! It just smells like holidays and happiness!

So if you are a (wannabe) bronzed goddess or just out for a walk in the sunshine, remember that taking a few minutes to put on your Piz Buin is a much better option than looking like a lobster and feeling like your skin is on fire. And that is the best case scenario!
