Summer is here and it's time to get the beach bag ready.
We've got the beach towels, sunglasses and snorkels ready to go but we can't forget about the beauty essentials that will keep us feeling fresh and most importantly protected all summer long. The most important thing to remember when it comes to summer and our skin is sunscreen! You wouldn’t walk in the rain without an umbrella, so walking in the sun without sunscreen is no different! Make sure your skin is protected and hydrated all day long with some of our favourite summer products.
Dermalogica Clear Start Clearing Defense
The first of many of our SPF sun essentials is the Dermalogica Clear Start Clearing Defense SPF30. This broad-spectrum SPF offers high protection and is enriched with the antioxidants of willow bark extract, green tea and vitamin c. The formula is super lightweight and comfortable to wear on the warmest of days and will mattify and hydrate oily and blemish-prone skin.

This tinted lip balm offers a beautiful natural colour payoff and contains a high amount of lanolin, a natural moisturiser that can imitate the skin's oils to hydrate and heal. Not only will this provide a gorgeous tint and finish, but the Lanolips Tinted Balm is also packed with SPF30 to offer extra protection.
