Our columnist shares tips on seamlessly reapplying SPF over your make-up for a summer look that is both beautiful and well-protected. Maureen, my good friend, urged me to write this column as she was intrigued by my collection of products that help keep my face preserved for decades to come.
Before stepping out of the house, I always recommend starting with a solid base of SPF. This ensures that your skin is protected from the beginning and you are not solely relying on a sunscreen applied on top of your make-up to do the job. One great option is BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream SPF 30, which is lightweight and perfect for summer days. It provides hydration and blends beautifully with other products mentioned in this column.
For touch-ups on-the-go, my beauty buddy Laura Bermingham swears by portable compacts. While she prefers Shiseido, I personally love Avène’s Very High Protection Tinted Compact SPF 50+ for Sensitive Skin. It easily fits in your bag, making it ideal for quick touch-ups throughout the day.
When traveling, the Sisley Paris Tinted Sun Care Super Stick SPF 50 is a great option. It has a slight tint that adds radiance to your complexion, and the combination of sweet white lupine oil, camellia oil, and mango butter provides hydration and smoothness to the skin. Plus, its stick form prevents any spillages.
To freshen up your SPF throughout the day, try applying a light powder sunscreen on top of your make-up. Supergoop! ReSetting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 30 is a fantastic choice. It mattifies shine and keeps your make-up in check without appearing cakey or heavy.
And finally, the Sculpted By Aimee Sun Mist SPF 50 Spray is a must-have for all-day protection. This invisible facial mist has a broad spectrum SPF 50 PA+++, making it suitable for use under and over make-up. Simply spray it at least six inches away from your face to ensure even distribution.
Oh, and speaking of friendship, remember that Saweetie song? “That’s my best friend, she’s a real…!”
Now, let’s move on to three fantastic summer hair heroes!
First up, the newly relaunched Nutritive range from Kérastase. The Nutritive Bain Satin Hydrating Shampoo, priced at €26.50, is a cult favorite for dry hair. The formula now includes niacinamide, a wonder ingredient that strengthens hair and locks in nutrients for healthier locks.
For smooth and frizz-free hair, try the Molecular Repair Hair Oil by K18, priced at €65. This weightless oil not only strengthens your hair but also provides 24-hour frizz control. Apply it to dry or damp hair for a shiny and glossy finish.
Finally, the Modern Hairspray Multi-Task Styling Mist by Sam McKnight is a game-changer. Priced at €28, this hairspray not only holds styles in place but also adds incredible shine while keeping your hair soft and bouncy. No wonder Sam McKnight is adored by celebrities like Princess Diana and Lady Gaga.
So there you have it, a guide to flawless make-up protection and summer hair heroes. Enjoy the sunshine while keeping your skin and hair healthy and gorgeous!
