With outside socialising at its peak during summer, remember to protect yourself from sun damage. With a little planning, you can stay safe in the sun, and enjoy yourself even more along the way.

• This summer, follow these simple steps to protect yourself from skin cancer:
• 1. Invest in a gorgeous broad-brimmed hat.
  2. Wear clothing that offers plenty of coverage - we love long summer dresses and kaftans.
  3. Sit in the shade - you'll feel better for it after a long day.
  4. Wear fitting, UV-protected sunglasses.
  5. Apply SPF30+ sunscreen at least 20 minutes before heading out in the sun. Reapply every 2 hours.
  6. If possible, stay out of the sun between 10am and 3pm.
  7. Sunbeds are a big no-no. If you’re after a gorgeous tan, there are plenty of great tanning creams on the market.
