Superior SPF
Sunscreen is a non-negotiable step in any summer beauty routine, and there are several excellent formulations depending on your desired finish. Available from Inès Store, Mara Sea Kale Sunscreen Sérum is an SPF 30 liquid that sinks into the skin with no white residue. Sothys Fluide Protector SPF 50 pledges protection against UVA, UVB and infrared radiation for the face and ‘sensitive zones’, while the tinted iteration of EltaMD’s UV Clear Broad-Spectrum doubles as light coverage and hydration with added hyaluronic acid. To give the face a subtly buildable tan, look to the Dior Bronze Beautifying Protective Creme Sublime Glow; with its SPF 30 or 50 protection, it has a milky, lightweight texture for instantly supple skin.
