Oh summer, how we adore you. You come so briefly, yet we yearn for you all year. Hitting up parks, beaches and beer gardens is what it’s all about when the sun finally shows up. After all, you have to soak up that brief burst of Vitamin D while you can. However, protecting your skin from the sun should be your number one priority if you want to keep that healthy, youthful glow about you. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Boots to bring you the four products you need this summer in order to, (safely) have some fun in the sun.
First off, it’s wise to get a sun-free glow before you hit the beach. You don’t want those harsh UVA and UVB rays damaging your skin. Opt for the brilliant SEVENTEEN Instant Glow Skin Wow Tan. It’s best used for contouring your cheek bones. Apply it with some subtle dabbing to highlight your best features.
After that, tan it up everywhere else! Before you apply your chosen body tanner, make sure you whack on some luxurious St Tropez Enhancing Polish, 24 hours beforehand. This will truly make your tan last much longer and fade more evenly. It contains subtle beads to exfoliate without scratching or damaging the skin, giving you an even and streak free colour for when you apply your tanner.
Once you’re out there in the sun showing off your magnificent tan, slap on some high-level protection. We're loving the Clinique Sun Protection Body Lotion. It’s SolarSmart technology helps protect against the aging and burning effects of the sun. It’s also Dermatologist tested, oil free and water-resistant… plus it smells like a beautiful little holiday in a bottle!
Extra Tip! People are often so concerned with the sun damaging their skin, they forget all about the hair! Your hair can become dehydrated and deflated after long-exposure to the sun, so make sure you pick up the Lee Stafford Coco Loco Coconut Balm. To protect and moisturise your lovely locks, rub a pea sized amount of the balm into your hair whether it’s wet or dry.
