]]> Now we know how this might sound, so before you think we’re absolutely crazy, give us a second to explain ourselves. Contrary to popular belief, in the winter the sun can still do some serious damage to your skin even though you might not think so.  

Regardless of the temperature, the sun’s UV rays are still super powerful and their glare can cause sun damage even when it’s freezing out. So just because you’re not sunbathing and styling your summer clothes, it doesn’t mean that you are off the hook when it comes to lathering up on SPF.  

You should be wearing your SPF all year round, so below we have included some products that are great for facial SPF’s to help protect your face from the sun. 

La Roche-Posay

When it comes to skincare, La Roche-Posay knows what they’re doing. The Athelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50+ sunscreen is a highly acclaimed SPF that is perfect to wear under your make up or within your skincare during these winter months. This product will help protect your skin from UVA, UVB and ultra- long UVA rays.  

Whether you’re working out or going for a swim, this product won’t fail as it’s water, sweat and sand resistant. Its lightweight nature means that it won’t clog up your skin and will accompany the base of your make up nicely.  

Your skin will feel smooth and nourished with this SPF and that horrid white cast some sun creams have will not be an issue when wearing this SPF. It’s perfect for those of you with sensitive skin, so altogether this is one hell of a product. 

Bondi Sands

The Bondi Sands SPF 50+ lotion is a great sun cream that comes with a spray applicator that allows it to be applied effortlessly and with even coverage. This SPF is non greasy and is comfortable to wear, so don’t worry about getting irritated throughout the day when wearing this product under your make up or skincare.  

This SPF also offers intense hydration and will make your skin feel soft after applying. Unlike other SPF’s, this product will make you feel like you’re using a luxury item as it has a fragrance added that emulates a coconut scent.  

Thought it couldn’t get any better? You’re wrong! This product also contains a hybrid formula which means that it also doubles up as a moisturiser too!

For our readers that are yet convinced of the wonders of SPF and are still apprehensive about getting that dreaded white cast that SPF is associated with, allow this next product to prove you wrong! 

The Dior Bronze Beautifying Protective Crème Sublime Glow SPF 30 is a worthy competitor to the stereotypes that SPF is hit with. This product will embellish your skin while also protecting it, it will protect you from photo induced ageing and free radicals.  

This product really is luxury in a bottle thanks to its milky and ultra lightweight texture alongside its freshness that allows your skin to feel soft and fresh.  

The cherry on top you ask? It also doubles up as a bronzer allowing your face to be glossy, glowy and bronzed no matter the weather. This product will add a healthy glow to your face while also protecting it, in our books that’s a win win.  

Just when you thought this product couldn’t get any better, it does! The Dior Bronzed Protection Crème also smells incredible thanks to it being mixed with Polynesian flowers. This product really will have you wanting to soak up every last drop as it is really is a fantastic item and one that we just cannot get enough of. 

Ultrasun SPF50+ Tinted Face Fluid  

Following on with the trend of tinted face fluid combined with SPF, the Ultrasun SPF50 Tinted Face Fluid will protect your skin while also providing a natural looking tint. This product is water resistant, non greasy and perfect for all skin tones.  

You can use this product instead of your moisturiser or foundation due to its amazing ingredients that provide your skin with a smooth texture and a glowy appearance.  

This SPF applies easily onto your skin and is perfect for those people who want a boost of colour on their face during the colder months, while also being protected from the harsh sun.

]]> Only a few weeks left until it’s official holiday season! Now is the time to run to the shops to stock up on summer essentials and to buy the last few bits for a perfect vacation. Even though fun and relaxation should be your primary goal, it is also essential to be prepared for a safe day in the sun. It is easy to forget some of the most crucial beach bag essentials. That’s why we made a list, so you are optimally prepared for the holiday season. Here is what to put in your beach bag:

Suncream

Nothing is more important than sun protection. We all know that. The best sun protection is to cover up with clothes, so try to wear long dresses and linen trousers when you go outside. But if you wear something more revealing or lie on the beach in a bikini, it is crucial to wear sun cream. An SPF 50 adequately applied (and reapplied every two hours) can protect you from the harmful UV rays. We don’t want to risk getting skin cancer or premature ageing. And modern sun creams are so lightweight that you don’t even notice them on your skin anymore. So, there are no excuses to not wear sun protection.

Lip balm

Always forgotten, but our lips can also get sunburned. If you don’t want to experience this severe sunburn, then you should use lip balms with SPF. They not only keep your lips hydrated and smooth, but they also protect them from harmful UV rays.

Sunglasses

Sunglasses give you instant summer and holiday vibes. They also look super stylish, and you can elevate every outfit with the right pair of sunglasses. But that’s not their only benefit. They also protect your eyes from the sun’s damaging UV light, which can cause serious ailments. And on a very windy day, they protect your eyes from sand, wind and dust

Sun Hats

A hat is a summer must-have. Cause how do we protect our sensitive scalp otherwise? They also protect our face from the sun, which is always good as we don’t want to age prematurely. The good thing is that there are so many styles and price categories that nothing stops you from finding your perfect hat. Depending on your style, you can reach for a bucket hat, a big straw hat, or a classic cap. Elevate your summer outfits with a hat this summer. Your scalp will thank you.

Water Bottle

Stay hydrated when you are out and about with a stylish reusable water bottle. This hot and humid weather can affect us, resulting in headaches and dry throats. So don’t let that happen this summer, and be prepared. Reusable water bottles can also keep your drink cool for longer, keeping you refreshed on the beach and on holiday adventures.

Fan

You might feel weird and extra when you first use your portable fan. But soon you will realise that it doesn’t matter what other people think of you. While you stay cool and refreshed, they are sweaty and hot. A portable fan is handy on long and warm bus trips, train journeys or when you lie on the beach. They are small enough to fit into your bag and are chargeable.

Let’s face facts, applying sun cream may be the only pitfall about being on holiday. Yes, SPF is absolutely mandatory and the key ingredient for bronzed skin, but the process of getting there is simply a faff and a sticky mess. Well, let us introduce you to the world of stick sun cream. Yes, you heard that right. That is sun cream in a solid formula.

So, for those avid cream haters out there, everything you hate about your squeezy tube lotion, a stick won’t give you the same problems. And here’s why…

They are non-sticky

We’ve all been there. You’ve just applied a fresh layer of sun cream only to be covered in sand 10 seconds later. Sometimes it makes you want to pack up your things and leave the beach altogether. Well, that won’t be the case with a stick cream. The majority of them have a non-sticky formula. Yeh, that’s right sand. You’ve been defeated.

Convenient for touch-ups

Stick creams are beach bag friendly and don’t run the risk of giving the inside of your bag a makeover if it leaks anywhere. While most stick creams are water and sweat resistant, the convenience of them means you can quickly re-apply and carry on. Bish, bash, bosh.

Good for those hard to reach areas

Tip of your nose. Ears. Toes. Under bikini straps. They all tend to get neglected when it comes to sun cream application. Well with a stick, you have no excuse. A few strokes over those areas and you can say bye-bye to streaky burns.

Ideal for delicate skin

Yes, you could spend your time applying a stick cream all over your body, and maybe squeezy tube cream is better for that. But applying regular liquid SPF can be a hella awkward to apply around sensitive eyes or even on your lips. So, that’s where a stick can step in, keeping your eyeballs SPF free.

No white cast

We have all gotten carried away when it comes to creaming up for the day. It’s one thing to be sensible, and another to apply so much that you end up looking like a ghost. Which just isn’t the look you want to achieve on holiday, right? Well, get a load of this. With stick creams, you don’t even need to rub them in. Now that really is a holiday.
