The importance of sun cream in your skincare routine
Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez - known as Dr Dray - revealed why you should wear suncream.
The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference - and this matters for all ages - is protecting your skin from the sun, Andrea stressed.
"The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation," she continued, not because you're "not using some jazzy serum or layering 90 different things on your face everyday".
"If you're not doing in your 20s, get on that now."
But she said the use of sun cream alone doesn't go far enough. Andrea urged that you also wear sun-protective clothing like broad-brimmed hats and long sleeves, on top of not staying out too long in the sun.
Doing this over your lifetime - and all year, not just during the summer or on sunny days - "will reduce the visible signs of photoageing", Andrea said.
Those are wrinkles, muddled pigmentation and sagging skin.
It's also suitable for sensitive kids' skin.
And if you get burnt in the sun - unlikely with Aldi's range - there's also the Lacura Moisturising After Sun Lotion.

Aldi customers urged to check their cupboards as 'do not eat' warning issued
Aldi has issued a warning to customers due to a packaging mix-up that could pose a health risk to some customers. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) confirmed on Wednesday the a Food Allergen Alert has been issued for batches of Aldi's Specially Selected Sliced Burger Buns due to an error in packaging which could pose a potential health risk to those with a sesame allergy. According to the FSAI, certain batches of Aldi Specially Selected Sliced Burger Buns contain sesame seeds which are not declared in the list of ingredients. "This may make the batches unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of sesame seeds, and therefore, these consumers should not eat the implicated batches," the FSAI said. The affected batches are a pack size of 200g and have a best before date of 01/07/2025, 05/07/2025 and 16/07/2025. Consumers who are allergic or sensitive to sesame are being urged to check their cupboards for these burger buns. They should not eat the burger buns, and instead return them to the store they were purchased for a refund. Sesame is the one of the most common food allergy among children and adults in Ireland. When a person with an allergy to sesame is exposed to sesame, proteins in the sesame bind to specific IgE antibodies made by the person's immune system. This triggers the person's immune defenses, leading to reaction symptoms that can be mild or very severe. The symptoms of sesame allergy usually come on quickly, within minutes of eating the food. Mild to moderate symptoms may include: Sesame seeds are among 14 priority food allergens that must be declared for all foods and drinks in the EU when they are used as ingredients in preparing or producing food.
