Words: Zak Maoui
Off to spend a week basking in the sun like Ray Winstone in Sexy Beast? Sure, your body might want a little R&R, but you’ll need more than any old slap of sunscreen. While they’re a bottom-line essential, there’s more to keeping your skin, hair and even knees protected and nourished than you might think. Here are the skincare must-haves to accompany your sojourn to warmer climes...
RéVive Soleil Superiéur / Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sunscreen PA ++++
Most sunscreen products just protect your skin from nature’s harmful rays, but RéVive’s Soleil Superiéur does a little bit more. This lightweight SPF50 sunscreen is ultra-transparent, so there’s no greasy shine, while working to repair any visible signs of ageing using the brand’s patented “Powered by Bio-Renewal Technology.”
Irene Forte Regenerate Hibiscus Night Cream
We don’t need to tell you that sun exposure is ageing (or maybe we do). The good thing is that you can sort of reverse the damage, starting with Irene Forte’s Regenerate Hibiscus Night Cream. Drawing its power from Myoxinol, a neuropeptide extracted from hibiscus seeds, this transformative night cream delivers a youth boost that’s almost as good as Botox.
Horace Face and Body sunscreen
Crafted using natural ingredients, and free from ocean-harming filters, this sunscreen from French brand Horace protects your skin from UVA and UVB rays with its high-protection formula.
Aesop Eleos Nourishing Body Cleanser
Using a blend of cedar atlas, patchouli and clove bud, Aesop’s latest botanical cleanser will bring a summer touch to wherever you may be in the world. What’s more, after a day in the sun, your body needs a little rejuvenation. With this moisture-boosting, nourishing Eleos, consider your arms, knees and feet well-cleansed and supremely looked after.
Davines SU Hair Mask
You might think you’ve got tousled, beachy waves, but did you ever consider that all that sunshine, chlorine and salt is actually wreaking havoc on your follicular greatness? Bad news, guys: it is. Well, luckily Davines’ SU Hair Mask acts like a post-exposure shield and is pumped full of savona chinotto (a citrus fruit) extract, which is rich in antioxidant and anti- inflammatory vitamin C.
