Another exciting product launch from my current favourite skincare brand, Filorga! Only a few days left of August, then Spring Time Baby! As we head into summer, September sees the launch of Filorga’s brand new UV-Defense. A sunscreen that offers the highest quality UVA & UVB protection, with a dual benefit, boasting Filorga’s powerful anti-ageing ingredients in the mix. UV-Defense contains Filorga’s patented NCTF poly-revitalising formula, combined with hyaluronic acid. This is the same ingredient formulation that is used in Filorga’s aesthetic mesotherapy range. In UV-Defense, this formulation allows the ingredients to be transported deep into the skin, to offer maximum protection. Sounds pretty impressive doesn’t it?

The past week has been an absolute scorcher and I’ve been spending many blissful hours outside by the pool, soaking up the sun and working on my tan! Thankfully I had a whole bunch of sun protection goodies from Piz Buin to review I’ve always loved Piz Buin products; they all have a distinct, yet pleasant smell and the brand has been around since I can remember, so I trust them completely to keep me sun-smart safe. Piz Buin Active Long Lasting Spray This has got to be my favourite! I love aerosol sunscreens because I find them the easiest to apply, especially while you’re sitting on the beach, in the blistering heat. It has a non-greasy formula and is water and sweat resistant with a long lasting effect. I also love the high pressure of the aerosol when spayed, because it comes out nice and cold!

A protecting spray that has been made with tanning in mind. While it protects the skin with UVA and UVB,…

Tired of those white-as-a-ghost legs? Me too! I can’t wait to go out and enjoy some fun in the sun, just as soon as this dreaded rainy and cold Spring weather makes way for summer! With that, it’s time to consider protecting your body against the harmful rays of the sun! Tropitone has long been one of my favourite sun protection brands, simply because it does a great job and they have a complete range of products to suit your needs. Plus it’s a local brand and we love anything that’s made in SA. For days when I want to get my tan on, I love using Troptione’s Deep Tan Oil because it helps to build that beautiful, Caribbean-style tan. It’s only got an SP factor of 6, so it’s quite low, but since I am already blessed with Mediterranean olive skin, I can handle it. I also love the coco-nutty smell and how it makes my body look bronzed on the beach, while I’m tanning. For days when I want to have a little fun and hit the waves or enjoy a game of beach volleyball, I prefer to us Tropitone Acti-Sport. Acti-Sport comes in SPF’s of 15 or…
