We All Scream For Sun Screen

We All Scream For Sun Screen

When the sun comes out to play, make sure you’re protected! Every year, loads of new sunscreens are launched, so there is no excuse to go bare and damage your skin. I got to try out a few new products from three fabulous brands of sun-care. So if you’re in the market for a new sunscreen for your beach holiday or pool time this summer season, be sure to check these out. VICHY IDEAL-SOLEIL Body Spray SPF 50 Vichy make great skin care! They are one of my all time fave sun protection brands (even though they do a whole skincare range too – their sun-care is always tops in my book). For 2015, they’ve re-branded the Capital Soleil range, which is now called Vichy Ideal Soleil Bronze and I got to sample the Ideal Soleil SPF 50 Body Spray (R295 for 200ml). It contains highly effective UVA and UVB as well as Long-Wave UVA filters that protect your skin while keeping it beautiful! With a combination of Tyrosine and Caffeine, these two active ingredients act as pro-pigmenting agents in two different ways. Tyrosine boosts the production of melanin so you tan beautifully, while caffeine inhibits phosphodiesterase, which stops melanogenesis from occurring properly. Also, with the SPF body…

Here comes the sun! Get sun smart with these face and body sunscreens

Here comes the sun! Get sun smart with these face and body sunscreens

Summer is here! Well, almost. Soon we’ll be ditching the boots and long sleeves for good, (at least I hope we will) and we’ll need to stock up on some sun smart products, to ensure we stay safe and protected all summer long! Check out our top picks for a sun smart summer for face and body… For the face Remember whether you’re spending time in the sun, catching a tan or plan to spend most of the day mostly under your umbrella, don’t leave the house without protection. Your face is exposed to sun rays pretty much all the time, regardless of whether the sun is shining or it’s overcast. For days on the beach, by the pool or when going for walks, a wide brim hat is a must! We love this floppy hat from Woolworths (R99.99). Your eyes need protection too! Don’t compromise style by investing in a pair of these trendy, blooming beautiful over sized sunnies from Dolce & Gabanna’s ‘Garden Party’ themed collection. Get them at Sunglass Hut (R2290). Protect the skin with an element barrier. Nimue Barrier is a dual skin barrier that helps to protect and strengthen the skin’s natural lipid barrier resistance…
