Okay, I’ll admit it – I’m fanatical about putting sunscreen on my face, but when it comes to my body, I sometimes skip it. Don’t get me wrong, I always apply it when I’m heading outdoors for an extended period of time but on a day-to-day basis, I find layering sunscreen over my regular body moisturiser just too damn time-consuming. That is, until I discovered the best body lotion with SPF.

Yep, body cream with SPF is a thing, and for those of us who have discovered it, it’s life-changing. So why not consider swapping out your daily body moisturiser for one of these sunscreen body lotions, which will protect your skin from the sun and keep it hydrated and soft at the same time. You’re welcome! To up your body care even more, try using a body roller before you moisturise, too. We love the Refa Body roller device, which helps to enhance firmness and the contours of the body – always a plus during skin-baring summer!
