What a glorious weekend! I spent my days off pottering Barbara Good style in the garden complete with wellies (Hunters naturally), a straw hat and crisp white cotton.

Being the good beauty editor that I am, I also ensured I had my SPF on. I never, ever go outside without applying Anthelios XL Extreme Fluid +50 by La Roche Posay (£16). I love this stuff! It’s really light and melts into the skin without feeling heavy or clogging. It actually makes a great make up base too and reassures me my skin is well protected. I apply it over my daily moisturiser. If its very hot, I will pat a little more over my make up through out the day.

For those who like a hint of colour, there is a  tinted version of the formula too (£16.50).
