We know we should be using sunscreen daily, but a lot of us find a reason not to. The main one? SPFs are usually associated with thick, paste-like creams that leave you with a white cast. However, this next generation of sunscreens is not only lightweight but also so clear that they’re invisible.

Usually in a stick format, these invisible SPFs have been going viral for their non-greasy jelly-like textures that melt onto skin and can be used over the top of make-up to touch up without disturbing your look.

All experts agree that the best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually use, so if these fuss-free invisible SPFs are going to get you applying (and reapplying) your sun protection, we’re on board. Here are the best invisible SPFs we’ve tested for protection without the greasiness. 

Whether you’re heading off on your holidays or spending the next few weekends soaking up the glorious UK summer, white trainer season has officially landed in our style calendars and we’re absolutely buzzing.

The most versatile footwear trend, box-fresh white trainers are the perfect addition to any new season wardrobe, especially when they look as good as the new styles from Allbirds. Whatever your summer plans, these comfortable yet lightweight styles can be worn with everything, from floaty floral dresses to your low-key athleisure kit. Plus, with trainers crafted using natural materials like merino wool, tree fibre and sugarcane (as opposed to virgin synthetics), you can rest assured that you’re making a commitment to sustainability as well as style goals.

Maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s the yearning, but there’s something special about reading a holiday romance. They’re the feel-good love stories we love to curl up with on our sofa while we imagine we’re on a sun lounger by a pool somewhere. The kind of pure escapism that makes us feel like we’re on a holiday of our own.

So it’s fortunate, then, that authors like Elena Armas and Christina Lauren are absolute masters of the genre, creating the kind of swooning tales that keep us on our toes while simultaneously making us fall head-over-heels for the characters on the page. These are the holiday romance reads worth adding to your TBR pile.
