I'm a huge advocate of sunscreen as the first defence against ageing so have written what I hope is the definitive guide on the subject.
I thought I'd post it here because I hope people will find it useful.
Also, I'd really appreciate it if anyone thinks it could be improved and whether there's anything important I've left out.

Sqoosh yes I really liked the lancome too! Where did it go?? My current regime:

Sun sense spf 50 on face
Jack black spf 25 lip balm (love the mint flavour)
Big sun hat
Sunglasses

I'm the fully covered weirdo on the streets...

I think that all we need to know is 'what sunscreen do they use at Wimbledon?'

none of the players are sunburnt. They are out at peak UV, no shade except at breaks, sweating, wiping faces; but no sunburn. I also don't see any sunscreen being applied. They all have a degree of a tan because they are in perpetual summer with the tour - but nobody looks ridiculously brown. They can't all be immune to the sun!

whatever it is lasts, doesn't run with sweat, doesn't affect grip. We need to know!

Belinda! Thank you, that's very sweet of you to say and I'll settle up with you later ;)

I couldn't find the Lancome UV Expert anywhere else apart from their own site either. Maybe they're about to bring out an updated version. They've just brought a CC cream with SPF 50 www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Categories/NEW-IN/Make-up-colour/City-Miracle-CC-cream_340-84010339-CITYMIRACLE/?previewAttribute=Apricot

I thought this looked interesting. Caroline Hirons is asking for SPF related questions to put to Dr Lens www.carolinehirons.com/2014/07/spf-got-any-questions.html

I'm going to ask about the issue of re-applying sunscreen. What else do you think we should ask? Unfortunately, I doubt he'll know the answer to what the players at Wimbledon use!
