text: how do you prepare your skin for your holiday? is there any products that you can use to prepare my skin for hot, sunny weather ie mallorca in summer. . . . and tunisia in two weeks. do i need to bath or anything. i am obsest with eating heathy so im worried about it! any types of food i need to eat before i go ?? help! its a difficult question this!  30+ sunscreen is the sensible answer. but i find if i just do this then i get terrible heat rash and sun blotches.  i find personally if i have a few sunbed tanning sessions before i go on hols, (i know its not good for you but i dont think heat rash and blotches are that good for us either. lol) then i have a tanning treatment such as st tropez. so i look lovely and tanned before i get there. then i still use 30+ protection for the first few days and drop the sun protection factor gradually.  whenever i do this i come back home with a nice tan. i dont burn and i dont get the very embarrassing rash and blotch effect?  hope this helps
