Brits have been warned that most people don't use enough sunscreen

With temperatures rising and the sun making more frequent appearances, Brits are being urged to properly apply sunscreen.

While sunscreen can help reduce damage from exposure to the sun, not all are made equally. When purchasing sunscreen you should look out for the sun protection factor and a star rating. The higher the SPF and star rating, the better - the NHS itself recommends an SPF of at least 30 and a minimum four-star UVA protection rating.

You must also apply a generous layer as the protection can be significantly reduced if it's too thin. Furthermore, if you're heading outside for a long period of time during a scorching day, you should actually apply sunscreen twice - once 30 minutes before going out and then once again right before you walk out the door.
