◗ Piz Buin Moisturising Sun Lotion SPF 50+ (R260) Moisturising without being sticky, it helps to protect skin against chlorine and seawater. And we love the soft beach-day scent.

◗ Diego dalla Palma Professional Sun Shine DNA Smart Protection Milk Spray SPF 50 (R750) It’s called a milk spray but it’s more of a light cream that sinks in nicely. It is formulated for sensitive skin, and is high in vitamin E to counteract redness and irritation.
