That feeling of the sun on your skin. Bliss!

Sunshine makes us happy. It’s therapy for the soul. Filled with vitamin D, the sun has a whole host of healing properties. It boosts serotonin, lifts your mood and increases energy levels.

But too many rays and the positives start to fade. Which is why we need to take care when it comes to our skin. Sun exposure can lead to skin damage and ageing…no thanks! We want to stay sun safe and enjoy the summer.

Lucky for us, Georgia White, beauty buyer for John Lewis is here to shine light on her favourite 5 essentials for super summer skin.

From SPF and hydration heroes, to moisture maximisers and products that battle the baddies and fight irritation - when it comes to sunbeams you can’t beat these gorgeous screens and creams.

So whether you're jetting off on a well deserved holiday, or simply stepping into the garden here’s where summer starts…
