Obviously, you wouldn’t go on holiday without a quality SPF, and this new SPF serum from The Ordinary promises to protect while it nourishes your skin.
The serum texture makes this sunscreen so easy to glide onto skin without a trace and leaving a radiant glow. It is infused with lots of hydrating ingredients to leave skin soft and smooth, and it can easily be layered under makeup or worn solo.

SPF is needed every single day, but sometimes you just want the easiest possible glam. Whether you’re heading out for a busy day of exploring or just want a little extra coverage for lounging by the pool, a tinted sunscreen is the ideal option. Simply smooth it onto the face, perhaps add some mascara, and off you go. Full protection and sheer coverage are the perfect holiday combo, and we are sure the girls will be reaching for it.

Soothe sun damage and prolong your tanning efforts with a deeply hydrating after sun lotion. The better hydrated your skin is, the longer your tan will last, and the more even it will fade, so take a moment to give your skin some much needed TLC after cooking in the sun all day, and give the girls the same message. Hydration is essential to a good-looking tan!
