It's time to slather on the SPF and keep our tans fake.

4 in the naive belief that the lower the SPF, the faster and deeper the tan . Real sun worshipers dared to go as low as SPF 2, or if you were really hardcore, like her friend who would accompany us on every family holiday, you'd ditch the protection all together, instead commandeering the olive oil, only returning it to the table for meal times. I aspired to be on her level.

Fast forward ten years, and the only tan I'm interested in comes in a bottle. And my SPF is 30 plus, with UVA protection as well, of course. I wear a sun hat, and stay in the shade. I've even tried to source a parasol for my last holiday .But I don't think I'm the only shade-seeker - a quick scan of the beach and people are slathering on the SPF 50, and everyone has a beach umbrella to at least keep their head out of the heat.
