Do You Know Your SPF Fun Facts?
When it comes to the sun, it's not always fun and games to be outside.

Take my Summertime quiz to see how sun smart you really are — good luck!
July Must Haves: Festival Beauty Essentials
I just can't get festive enough during the Summer season! Between the beautiful weather we've been having in the UK, Wimbledon and the excitement of getting to the beach one of these weekends, July is one of my favourite times of the year for beauty products.

Here are six of my top picks for this season's 'it' items!
Keep Your Skin Safe This Spring and Summer With Clinique
Clinique has just launched its range of sun care products for Spring and Summer 2009. The first collection, Cinique Sun with Solar Smart includes seven oil-free and sweat-resistant products designed to protect the skin from both UVA (the sun rays that cause early signs of aging) and UVB (the rays burn your skin) without clogging your pores.

Party On! Holiday Beauty Guide
Holiday beauty can go one of two ways – either you see it as a chance to relax about your regime; give your skin a break from makeup and just generally aim for a laid back beauty look – or else you up the ante with the time to really experiment with new looks, and all that partying.
Personally, I do laid back in the day, for by the beach, and at night crank up the volume with glowing skin, bright lights, bold colour and experimenting with new products.

If you're swimming in the sea, the salt water is quite drying and can result in damaging tangles. Unless you're willing to do an Evian rinse and then apply an SPF enhanced product, chances are you're doing your hair an injustice by soaking it when you swim.

With it being awards season right now, it's hard not to envy the fabulous stars who get to doll themselves up from head to and walk the red carpet looking superfine.

Product Review: Dermalogica MultiVitamin Bodyblock
Confession time: Despite my Beauty Editor disguise, somewhere deep down, there is still a sun worshipper just waiting to get out. I know, I know... it's terrible for the skin and I lecture everyone else about sitting in the shade and wearing a sun hat, but the girl just can't help it!
