If you’re not counting down to sunnier days all year, you’re lying to yourself. There’s something electric about the summer: it means freedom, holidays, frolicking, and picnics.

It’s pretty much perfect, aside from of course the impending doom of hayfever and the fact you need to find the right sunscreen to wear.

Should you be unfortunate enough to be afflicted by sensitive skin like me, you’ll know the struggle of trying to find an SPF that sufficiently protects you from the sun, is easy to apply, won’t pill, or break you out into hives and blemishes every time you use it.

It’s enough to ruin the thrill of sitting in the sun, but this year I was determined to not let a few pesky rays ruin my fun.

To save all of the sensitive skin sufferers out there, I made it my mission to find the best sensitive skin face sunscreens on the market right now.

And good news: I found a range of options from high street to K-beauty, which come in between £5 and £26.

With some of the sunniest days ahead of us, I tried out 15 of the best face sunscreens for sensitive skin.

To make sure they were up to the mark, I tested them multiple ways, including: on top of my usual skincare, without any skincare at all (à la post-swim skin), underneath makeup, on top of makeup, and as a top up half way through the day.

I also wore them while inside, on my commute, on a long hike, and when going swimming to see if they’d break me out or leave a white cast.

For each sunscreen, I considered value for money, formula, UVA and UVB protection, active ingredients like green tea and hyaluronic acid, bottle type, and volume.

My 15 favourites are outlined below.

I’m pretty diligent about applying sunscreen; I reckon I hit the NHS-recommended seven teaspoons for your entire body most times I hit the beach.

But to be honest, I don’t sunbathe often. I burn easily, so I prefer to get a tan from a can if possible.

According to Melanie Brownlow, founder of self-tanning company St Moriz, however, combining some self-tanners with sunscreen might not be ideal.

She said, “As summer approaches, many will be looking to pull back on their makeup and focus more on using bronzing products for a sun-kissed complexion. However,”

Brownlow said: “When it comes to bronzing drops, or any self-tan products for the face, this is safe to mix in with your go-to moisturiser. However, when it comes to sunscreen, never mix any tanning products directly into this.”

This is because an active ingredient in the bronzing items can interfere with how effective your SPF is.

“The active ingredient – DHA – in self-tanning products interferes with sun protection products, diluting the SPF and reducing its effectiveness against sun damage,” she explained.

She’s not alone in sharing concerns. Dermatologist Dr Janelle Vega told L’Oréal Paris, “In general, it’s best not to mix any other products into sunscreen because it can change the measured sun protection factor”.

It means that the concentration of SPF carefully titrated by the manufacturer of your suncream changes, so you don’t know for sure how much protection your sunscreen offers anymore.

“I would recommend using your tanning drops in the evening, allowing it to develop overnight, and just keep to your SPF and any cosmetic products in the day,” Brownlow advised.

(Psst – that “SPF foundation” you’ve been using probably isn’t doing as good a job as you think).

“The same principle applies to using tanning products and sunscreen on the body, because no, having fake tan does not prevent you from burning from sun exposure,” the self-tan expert added.

“To avoid any risk, apply your self-tan to your body in the evening, allowing this to develop for at least 12 hours before you apply sun protection. The tan should be properly rinsed off as any remaining DHA on the skin can degrade SPF.”

The NHS recommends using a sunscreen with at least an SPF 30 and at least 4-star UVA protection.

Emma Willis has now been a staple on British TV for more than 20 years.

The presenter is best known for hosting shows like Big Brother, The Voice and The Circle, and was recently introduced to a more international audience when she and her husband Matt Willis began presenting Netflix’s British iteration of the dating series Love Is Blind.

If rumours are to be believed, she’s since landed the biggest gig of her career, as she’s set to take over as the new host of Strictly Come Dancing, taking over from Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.

But while you’ve probably watched Emma on some of the UK’s biggest reality shows over the years, there are plenty of other presenting gigs throughout her extensive resume you might have completely forgotten about.

Here are the ones we dug through the archives to find…

Emma got her start on music TV in the early 2000s, presenting segments for MTV as well as the UK version of the iconic TRL.

In 2008, Emma joined another British music show called The Hot Desk, whose other hosts included the likes of All Saints’ Nicole Appleton and Melanie Blatt, Laura Whitmore, Sarah Jane Crawford and Alice Levine.

At the end of each interview, the host would ask their celebrity guest to sign the “Hot Desk” with a pen (isn’t that just oh-so 2010s?).

One of Emma’s biggest interviews from that era was with a young and bright-eyed One Direction on The Hot Desk in 2011, a year after they came third on The X Factor.

In the peak of 2000s gossip mags and celebrity interview panels, there were plenty of shows out there like Live From Studio Five.

Emma joined a line-up of co-presenters – including Brian Dowling and Ian Wright – who would conduct interviews and discuss topical issues, celebrity gossip and big news stories.

However it didn’t do too well with ratings, and ultimately came off the air after around a year and a half.

Even as far back as 2012, Emma was clearly discovering that she had a bit of a knack when it came to reality TV.

She presented two seasons of this British show about single women looking for love, which saw three pals searching for their ideal guy out of 100 auditioning men.

Emma co-presented this sunny series alongside Alexander Armstrong back in 2013.

Prize Island placed four pairs on an Island (obv) off the coast of Mozambique, with each team participating in rounds of games to uncover prizes, ranging from a TV to a luxury holiday.

At the time, there were reports that it might not air at all, after it looked set to rival (ironically) The Voice. The show ultimately only last six episodes across one season.

Another oft-overlooked game show from Emma’s TV past was the ambitious Prized Apart.

Prized Apart saw two groups of adventurous hopefuls trying out assorted physical tasks in Morocco (overseen by Emma’s former The Voice co-host Reggie Yates), putting their teamwork to the test in the hope of landing a hefty cash prize of £100K.

After facing criticism due to its convoluted gameplay (not to mention its carbon footprint, as contestants were repeatedly flown backwards and forwards depending on how they’d performed in tasks) it was axed after one season.

Do you remember that time Emma hosted a whole Brit Awards? Honestly, we’d forgotten too.

Back in 2017 she took to the stage for the UK’s biggest night in music alongside co-host Dermot O’Leary.

Dermot and Emma were brought in as somewhat last-minute replacements when the night’s original host, Michael Bublé, was forced to back out due to his son’s illness.

That year’s Brits saw One Direction, Little Mix, The 1975 and more take home awards.

This one marked a huge change for the presenter as she swapped reality TV and game shows for a hospital maternity unit.

Across the course of four seasons, she worked on a labour ward working NHS hours while training to be a maternity care assistant.

Whether she was making beds, cleaning floors or offering support during births, it made for pretty emotional viewing.

Strictly Come Dancing returns to our screens in the autumn.

A growing list of ministers have resigned from government and urged Keir Starmer to quit as discontent towards the prime minister grows.

Labour is in turmoil after voters gave the party a beating at the elections in England, Wales and Scotland last week.

More than 80 MPs have publicly called for the prime minister to resign as a result – along with multiple ministers.

None of his rivals have publicly challenged Starmer yet and 20% of the Parliamentary Labour Party (81 MPs) need to rally behind one replacement candidate to formally trigger a leadership contest.

However, ministerial resignations make it much harder for the PM to run a government as it undermines his authority.

Cabinet ministers have reportedly been urging the PM to resign behind the scenes, too.

Even so, Starmer has dug in so far and has insisted he is getting on with the job of governing.

Here’s a breakdown of all the ministerial resignations so far…

The junior minister for devolution, faith and communities, Fahnbulleh was the first minister out the block on Tuesday.

In a letter to the prime minister shared on social media, she said: “We have not acted with the vision, pace and ambition that our mandate for change demands of us. Nor have we governed as Labour Party clear about our values and strong in our convictions.”

She added: “Therefore I urge you to do the right thing for the country and the Party and set a timetable for an orderly transition so that a new team can deliver the change we promised the country.”

According to the BBC, she has already backed Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham to take over No.10 – even though he needs to win a seat in parliament first.

Phillips quit as safeguarding minister with a brutal letter of resignation to Starmer.

An ally to Wes Streeting, the health secretary widely expected to challenge Starmer, she wrote: “I think you are a good man fundamentally, who cares about the right things however I have seen first-hand how that is not enough.

“The desire not to have an argument means we rarely make an argument, leaving opportunities for progress stalled and delayed.”

She continued: “Labour governments come around rarely is the constant refrain at the moment. It’s true they are precious.

“Every Labour government in my and my family’s lifetime has forged progress that changed our country and the world for the better. I know you care deeply, but deeds, not words are what matter.

“I’m not sure we are grasping this rare opportunity with the gusto that’s needed and I cannot keep waiting around for a crisis to push for faster progress.”

She added: “Politics is as much about feelings as policy, especially at the moment.

“I want a Labour government to work and I will strive as I always have for its success and popularity, but I’m not seeing the change I think I, and the country expect, and so cannot continue to serve as a minister under the current leadership.”

The minister for victims and violence against women and girls handed in her resignation letter on Tuesday afternoon.

Davies-Jones said the scale of losses in the Senedd and across the UK have been “catastrophic”.

“The country has spoken and we must listen,” she said. “We waited fourteen years to get into power and change the lives of those we represent.

“The time now is for bold, radical action. I know you to be a good and honest man. But in my heart are my constituents, the victims I have had the honour of working with every day, including the Hillsborough victims and their families, and all those who demand better of us.

“I implore you to act in the country’s interest and set out a timetable for your departure.”
