Not sure what to pack in your cosmetics bag? These multitasking favourites are our go-to picks this summer.
All-round face care
Light and hydrating, the Neutrogena Hydro Boost range is a great solution for beach skin as it addresses hydration and protection. The products in the range are infused with hyaluronic acid, known for its ability to retain moisture, and niacinamide, which improves skin texture and tone. In addition, the new Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Fluid SPF 50 contains a UVA/UVB protection factor of SPF 50 in a light water-gel texture that absorbs quickly into the skin. Available at beauty retail outlets.
On the go protection
We love the Heliocare 360º Compact Oil Free SPF50+ (R490), which combines high SPF protection with the benefits of makeup. It also contains Fernblock technology, which has powerful antioxidant properties and helps to prevent and repair damage caused by sun exposure. It comes in three water-resistant shades – Pearl, Beige and Bronze. For the body, the luxurious Heliocare 360º Body Glow SPF 50+ (R687) sunscreen protects and nourishes the skin and gives it a golden, sun-kissed shimmer. www.heliocare.co.za
The hair fixer
Protect hair from UV rays and saltwater damage with Redken’s One United Multi-Benefit Treatment Spray (R590). It’s lightweight and provides heat protection and conditioning benefits for all hair types. It can be used daily. Available at leading salons and online retailers.
The wellness essential
Your gut might feel the strain of travel and an unbalanced diet this festive season. Kiko Prebiotic + Probiotic (R429) is a must-have to support digestive health, while the all-natural Vitals Debloat + Gut Glow (R480) is packed with organic fruit enzymes and calming anti-inflammatory ingredients that relieve every possible cause for bloating, digestion and puffiness. The best part is it works in under an hour. www.kikovitals.com
