Hello my beauties!
As you all have noticed summer is here. At last!
This means sun, sun and sun! Though we live in a sunny country, the sun during the summery months is more intense and tricky. (I do not like the word "dangerous" for something as vital as the sun).
So I thought I' d show you my new sunscreens, my all time favourite ones and some I wish to try.
Are you ready? Lay down on your sunbed and relax...
Face Sunscreens
1. Clinique Face Cream SPF 30
When I first tried it, I was really sceptical about it. As I have combination skin, it is difficult for me to find a sunscreen to use before my foundation and not feel my skin heavy or shiny.
Well, this Clinique face sunscreen surprised me. It is moisturising, non greasy, no "white face" effect and with an SPF 30 keeps the sun close but his effects away!
price: 24,50 euros
2. Juliette Armand SPF 30 Sun Film
This is the second time I am using something from this greek brand and I am very pleased. Mostly because of the quality of their products.
This sunscreen is a soothing gel with a slight color to even the skin, oil free and with a consistency that prevent any cell alterations and stimulates the natural regeneration of the skin.
It has a powdery smell that stays.
price: 15-18 euros
3. Korres Watermelon Lightweight tinted moisturiser SPF 30
This sunscreen is quite famous on its own.
It is oil free, gives a little more coverage than a usual tinted moisturiser and stays on pretty well. It has enough color to even your skintone without needing to wear any foundation.
It is one of my safe choices.
price: 14 euros
4. Murad Waterproof Sunblock SPF 30
This is the sunscreen "treat" I gave to myself. It is waterproof, prevents free radical damage to age-proof skin.
It contains hyaluronic acid and phyto-lipids that preserve skin's moisture barrier and protects elasticity to maintain skin's firmness.
One of the best things I have tried on my skin.
Do I need to say more?
price: $ 30
5. Clinique SPF 35 Targeted Protection Stick
This form of sunscreen is new to me but so so beloved!!
Even though I put on my sunblock every morning I exprerience some redness and dryness at the high point of my cheekbones under my eyes and this is perfect to carry in my bag and refresh my protection!
price: 25 euros
Body Sunscreens
1. Piz Buin In Sun Lotion SPF 20
This is one of my all time favourites sunblocks. The smell reminds me of vacations and sun.
Its consistency is rich, non greasy though and the protection is true.
I love this sunscreen.
price: 15 euros approx.
2. Clinique Body Cream SPF 30
This sunscreen is new to my collection and as I have not started going to the sea, I haven't tried it yet but I will read to you the press release.
" Advanced defense and repair. Innovative SolarSmart technology stabilizes high-level uva-uvb protection to defend against the aging and burning effects of the sun. Adds a barrier repair and solar-activated antioxidants to help prevent signs of aging"
price: 24,90 euros
3. Hawaiian Tropic Coconut Tanning Oil in Deep
What can I say about this bottle?
It reminds all the summers of my life, all the vacations of my life and all the sunny days of my life.
There was not once summer that this legendary oil was not in my bag.
I know there is no SPF protection and I shouldn't be using it alone, which I don't any more. But I always mix it with my normal sunblock just to maintain the feeling it always gives me.......Summer!
I am in love with it and when summer ends, I count the days till we meet again!
price: 7 euros approx.
