Gardening: Be skincare-savvy for summer

Prevention is so much better than cure, says Fiann Ó Nualláin, who offers gardeners timely advice on guarding face and body against those potentially damaging ultra-violet rays this season and beyond.

While we are all aware of the need put on some good sunblock and stay hydrated over summer months what else can we do to keep our skin in top condition and avoid UV damage. As gardeners we are out in it more than most and I know for myself, give it five minutes and I have either inadvertently wiped half the sunblock off or have sweated all of it off.
