When the Summer is here and the weather is hot and sunny, we always remember to protect our skin. When the Summer has gone we often think we do not need to. Why would we are not exposing our skin to the hot sun. Truth is we should be protecting our skin throughout the year. Which is why I am introducing you to Calypso Sensitive Lotion, which is designed for the face and neck.

What is Calypso Sensitive Lotion
The Sensitive Lotion is designed for use on the face and neck. It is a light non-greasy lotion which contains UVA/UVB protection. It helps to prevent premature ageing to your skin and can be used on sensitive skin.
Our skin is exposed all year to the UVA rays even on those dull grey days, and not just the summer months. This handy lotion comes in a 50ml tube which makes it easy to pop in your bag and offers a 50+ SPF.
Wearing Sensitive Lotion Daily
When I am at home I like to give my skin a rest, which means I do not use make up. When I go out I use this alongside my make up. With the lotion being non greasy and light it works well under my usual make up. I have incorporated this into my make up regime. Both daytime and evening.
Being of the age where I need to look after my skin, I like to use a product that I feel works well. When looking at creams for my face, this also applies to make up. I do not like products that are greasy or heavy, which is why I am loving this as it is light to use. This is one product that I will continue using from now on.

I fondly remember the time spent with my cousins, especially as we are now scattered around the UK and rarely all get together.
