MOTHERHOOD PHENOMENON: Pram Tan

The backs of your hands have probably never seen so much year-round sun exposure! Pushing a pram around in all weathers leaves them vulnerable to sun damage, skin ageing and very weird tan lines at the wrist. The beauty journalist in me recommends stashing a UV-protective hand cream in your changing bag to give them some much-needed protection. Look for SPF 15 (to protect against burning) combined with a five-star UVA rating (to protect against ageing and dark spots).
