As boring as it might sound to some, taking
care of our skin whilst we are sipping on cocktails at the beach or by the pool
is absolutely essential. Period. It
still baffles me how some people could stay out in the sun, tanning the whole
day without any sun protection… I think I’ll skip the part where I talk about the
oh-so-familiar nasty side effect of the sun (*cough* skin cancer and wrinkles)
and just say - put that SPF on and protect your skin! Since I just came back
from my holiday, I figured I’d show you which were the Top 3 skincare bits that
I was religiously taking to the beach with me. Protected and refreshed skin? Check.
Face sunscreen is something that I almost
never leave the house without, so needless to say that when I know I’ll be exposing
my skin to the sun for hours I want to be prepared to combat the dangerous UV
rays more than ever. This is when the incredible La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL (here)
comes in action. This has been my beach best friend for a couple of years now and
with a good reason. It offers the incredible SPF 50+ , which is as high as you
could get really and the good news is that I can actually feel that my skin is protected. No sunburns, no dehydrated skin, no
sight of age spots. It’s love! The one I have is the Melt-in Cream, which is
perfect for dry/normal skin but there are multiple options from the Anthelios
range to suit everyone’s needs. This gem feels really comfortable on the skin and
since it is infused with La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water it is supposed to
be especially good for people with sensitive skin. The sunscreen has never
irritated my skin or caused breakouts, which I couldn’t be happier about. I
tend to apply the cream all over my face, neck, chest and shoulders and just
spray the rest of my body with regular body SPF. One thing I have to mention
about Anthelios though is that it could
leave a white residue if you don’t rub the product in well enough, so take
your time. It doesn’t have the fastest absorbing formula either, so I wouldn’t
recommend it for using under makeup. Apart from that – it does work wonders, so
get involved if you’re on a hunt for a new sunscreen.
If you fancy something that could be used
under makeup or worn on its own, whilst adding some coverage this Bioderma Photoderm AR Tinted Cream (here) is the one to go for. It adds
light coverage, which looks extremely natural and evens out the skin tone
beautifully. It sinks right in, which makes it the perfect under-foundation
companion for when you will be out in the sun for the day. This anti-redness beauty feels hydrating and soothing
and the high SPF 50+ offers the perfect protection from UVA and UVB rays. Photoderm
AR is also water resistant and designed for all skin types. Score.
Skin protection done! Now I am all about keeping
my skin refreshed and healthy looking and to help me with that I adore The Body Shop Vitamin C Energizing Face
Spritz (here). Pop this
divine-smelling gem into your bag and give your face some spritzes to keep your
skin feel refreshed, energized and hydrated. This instant pick-me-up adds such
beautiful glow to my face and leaves the skin feel soft and smooth. It could be
used as makeup setting spray as well - amazing. Great everyday staple for those
hot, humid days.
Have you tried any of these
products before? Which are your favorite skincare beach essentials?
I haven't tried any of these yet but The Body Shop Vitamin C Energizing Face Spritz looks amazing! I love any facial mists to refresh my face when it is hot out (like rose water!) and I like using the Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Sensitive Skin Lotion with SPF 15 in it for warm days out. For my body I love using Hawaiian Tropics Sheer Touch Sunscreen lotion with SPF 30 and it smells wonderful too !

Suncare is sooo important. Haven't tried these particular products but they all look really good! My personal fave sunscreen is the Neutrogena fluid one... it works really good as a makeup base.
