Borrow-Worthy Holiday Essentials

Who Remembered the Essentials?
We all have that one friend who forgets everything, and we all know the Mum of the group who packs for a crowd. Be the friend who makes sure everyone's covered, and stock up this summer on borrow-worthy skin & body essentials.
Below, we’ve gathered a collection of our favourite skincare and suncare, so whether you’re heading on a girls’ staycation or an all-out week in the sun, get ready to hear “can I borrow this?” a good few times.
Suncare
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!
Skincare
The holiday essential that needs no introduction: if you haven’t heard of Bum Bum Cream, consider this your sign to finally try it. Deeply hydrating, firming, and with a deliciously summery scent, Sol de Janeiro kicked off their legacy as a summer essentials brand when they launched this iconic body cream. Your skin will smell as good as it feels from sunrise to sunset.
Add some cutting-edge K-beauty into your holiday routine with this serum, that aims to minimise the look of pores and blemishes, and reduce skin sensitivity. Silky and smooth, skin is protected from environmental aggressors and has a radiant finish.
