Stay safe in the sun all year with these non-goopy sun creams

Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Ireland — but you do not need to buy expensive protection

Do not forget your ears, your neck or your hairline when applying suncare.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s self-care advice often receives media criticism but an April Vogue.com video of her skincare routine drove some dermatologists to public objection. In this video, Gwyneth applies sun protection only “where the sun hits,” as one might do with bronzer, and says she is “not a slatherer".

Spreading confusing information about sun protection is serious. Goop, Gwyneth’s skincare brand, has since stated that her full application was cut. This contradicts Gwyneth’s words but it was Vogue.com’s responsibility to provide disclaimers. Neither she nor anyone else can recommend a beauty product better than broad-spectrum sun protection. It does more than protect you from 98% of all non-DNA related skin ageing (as impressive as that is), it can save your life.
