HEAT PROOF

SHIELD YOURSELF FROM THE RAYS WITH THE LATEST CUTTING EDGE SUN CARE. BE IT ECO-FRIENDLY INGREDIENTS OR A FUSS FREE FORM, WE BRING YOU A SELECTION OF SUN SCREENS WITH BENEFITS.

Sunscreen Swipes SPF30, £28, Supergoop!

For sun protection on the go, Supergoop! Offers the ultimate convenience in the form of its re-sealable wipe designs.  Solving the problem of sticky fingers and stains, Sunscreen Wipes fill the niche for city sun care, particularly the handbag friendly Travel Swipes size. Free from parabens, petrochemicals, fragrances and phthalates, this is a fuss free formula with green credentials.

UV Protect Targeted Sunscreen Stick For Face & Body SPF 50, £18.50, Kiehl’s

Cult skincare brand Kiehl’s have formulated organic UV filters – Mexoryl SX and XT – which maintain their protection properties from the sun and do not break down, even in the most intense heat. The stick design is practical and offers a less messy alternative to sometimes-greasy lotions, while there’s more than a hint of old school vacation to this retro packaging.

Sun Lotion SPF 30+, £39, Jurlique

Organic extracts of Lavender and Orange add a soothing quality to this light- weight formula, while the broad spectrum sun protection shields against both UVB and UVA (the harshest rays that penetrate deep into the layers of the skin).  This earth friendly lotion smells so delicious, you could find yourself developing an applying addiction!

Invisible Staying Powder, £38, INVISIBLE ZINC

The Aussies know a thing or two about sun protection, so it’s no surprise that the pioneering INVISBLE ZINC range is from down under. The naturally derived micro fine Zinc Oxide formula creates second skin defense against UV rays and environmental pollutants. We’re particularly taken with the innovative Invisible Staying Powder, which melts into skin to set foundation or can be simply used on its own.

Body Spray SPF 25, £17, Clinique

Tired of having to corner someone to slather sun cream on your back? This micro fine spray ensures optimum coverage in those tricky to reach areas. The Solarsmart technology ensures a photostable sun screen, whereby ultra harmful UVB protection is three times proportional to UVA protection, while also being allergy tested and 100% fragrance free. The bright yellow bottle is pure sunshine, too.

Bronzage Anti Age, £18, Lierac

The new sun care range from French skincare brand Lierac includes this specially formulated product designed to target the incredibly delicate areas of the face and décolleté. Enriched with Cactus fig extract to provide resistance   from the appearance of age spots and skin discolouration, it also combats the process of premature ageing.

Photo Reverse Body, £39, Institut Esthederm

For shade dwellers with a zero tolerance policy to a tan, the latest product from Institut Esthederm allows the freedom to emerge from under the sun umbrella.  The technology actually inhibits the melanogenisis process, which means your skin will undergo no change from UVA and UVB rays, while the reversal of pigmentation remedies previous damage.
