SPF Summer Super Stars @ Magees
Okay so the sun keeps playing hide and seek – (please come back soon!) but SPF is still key. Whether you’re applying SPF underneath makeup in the morning or slathering it on the kids before a day on the beach – packing some in preparation for a holiday abroad (lucky!) or simply making sure to have some to hand ahead of being outdoors, don’t skip your suncare! It’s especially important to top up on sun protection for all ages and stages when we spend more time outdoors in the Summer months. Let’s take a look at some of our top products in Magees for the whole family:
Lots of new babies are hitting the beach this year, some for the first time! As we all know, baby skin protection is paramount for parents who want to protect their little loves from the sun. It is of course recommended that babies are kept out of direct sunlight, and wear appropriate clothing and hats when outside, but to best ensure their skin is protected – our La Roche-Posay Anthelios Baby Lotion Spf50+ is a wonderful product. Formulated with just the right amount of ingredients specially selected for the safety of the baby’s skin. Enriched with Shea Butter natural to moisturize, soothe and strengthen the skin barrier. It contains thermal water of La Roche-Posay, softening and soothing. The texture is silky, soft and comfortable; handy to apply and safe to use from six months.
(Pro hack, if your little ones hate having sunscreen applied – grab a clean/old makeup brush and dash it on with that if you don’t have a spray, as they typically prefer that to rubbing – good luck!!) For the toddlers and older children, the sun protection needs to be equally hard-working but also best to grab a spray, as it will be re-applied frequently and speedily! Between seaside dips, puddle jumping, sandcastle building an ice-cream chins – all the activity that the little ones enjoy you need a spray that works well on the go. Why not pick up our Ambre Solaire Kids Protection Spray Spf50? Perfect for beach days, this handy SPF offers effective protection for children’s delicate skin. This non sticky, moisturising sun protection spray helps to protect against sun induced skin damage. The advanced UVA + UVB protection provides photostability, the water resistant formula protects the child’s skin natural moisture levels during sun exposure. Hypoallergenic so will not irritate sensitive skin. Available in 100ml and 300 ml.
(P.s. Entire Vichy range is 20% off until July 31s 2022! ) Okay, let’s be honest many of us are interested in the anti-aging benefits for our faces, we know that quality and consistent sun care and protection certainly helps – so, for a little something for the grown-ups why not add Vichy Ideal Soleil Mattifying Face Fluid to your skin-care regime?
