Pre-Holiday Beauty Buys
L'Oreal Professionnel Solar Sublime After Sun Shampoo
L'Oreal's After Sun Shampoo pumps moisture into hair that's been parched by the sun whilst cleansing it of residue from sand, salt and chlorine. It contains Vitamin E, Mexoryl S.O. and glycerol which work to nourish and hydrate the hair and scalp. Although this is a 250ml it's packaged in a small bottle so it's not going to take up too much room in your suitcase!
L'Oreal Professionnel Solar Sublime After Sun Nourishing Balm
Working to intensely nourish the hair after sun exposure, this is also a great detangler for hair that's been subjected to the wonders of chlorine and sea salt. A creamy balm texture it contains Mexoryl S.O. which actively targets the most damaged parts of the hair to nourish it back to health.
Kerastase Elixir Ultime Immortal Moringa Travel Size The wonders of travel sizes. Hair oils are a nuisance to travel with 99% of the time as they're generally in bulky and/or glass bottles. The Kérastase Elixir Ultime minis are ideal for travelling with just 50ml of product in a light plastic bottle. I usually use the purple Millennium Rose version for fine hair, but for holidaying I'm taking the Immortal Moringa version which offers extra nourishment to damaged hair.
Décleor Aroma Sun Expert Protective Hydrating Milk
Suncream's not usually something I associate with luxury, but this beautiful Décleor offering comes close. With an SPF of 30 it's a light, silky body lotion that smells wonderful and applies beautifully.
Décleor Aroma Sun Expert High Repair After Sun Balm
I'm intrigued to try this repair balm - formulated with 100% natural ingredients it's designed to be massaged into the face after sun exposure, working to repair and protect the skin whilst soothing any redness. As an added bonus, it intensifies and encourages tanning - always good for someone who barely deepens by a shade!
Caudalie Soleil Divin Anti Ageing Face Suncare SPF 30
For facial sun protection I'm turning to my favourites Caudalie and their Soleil Divin range. Formulated with grape seed polyphenols, antioxidants and broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection, it's a light, silky lotion that won't clog up the skin.
Elemis Devil's Mint Body Scrub
This is one I'm really excited about as I have it on good authority that this is a great scrub for pre-tanning. Formulated with sea plants including Devil's Apron Seaweed and peppermint essential oil, it smells delicious and works to gently slough off dead skin cells.
Gatineau Tan Accelerator I've been using this for the last couple of weeks in preparation for sun exposure. It stimulates the skin to promote melanin production, meaning you're less likely to burn and more likely to tan - it sort of tricks the skin into thinking you've already spent weeks laying out sunbathing. Handy for those of us who struggle to tan! This is a really light, nourishing lotion that smells lovely. I'll be using this as an aftersun to keep my tan for as long as possible!
