I thought it would be relevant to add in this product as we are now deep into the summer months where everyone will be jetting off on their holidays. Everyone has been obsessed with the La Roche-Posay sunscreen and Garnier have an excellent dupe. With 4.3 average star rating, it is absolutely perfect for the summer weather:

This is a very similar texture to the La Roche-Posay sunscreen and goes on very fluid. This protects the skin from harsh UV rays protecting and moisturising your skin barrier.
