Good grief.. my second post about sun protection in a week! Sadly my summer holiday this year has been and gone. Italy already feels like a distant memory and whilst I try my best to hold onto what's left of my tan (post coming soon), I am conscious that for some of you it's coming up so I thought I'd share what I found the be the best of the best when it comes to an SPF.

Products I've been loving: Radical Skincare, Kevin Aucoin & Bobbi Brown

Yes, we're already 13 days into July but I don't feel it's quite too late to update you on the products I feel head over heels in love with last month. It's not an extensive list because I haven't been reaching for that much! Instead I've kept things simple and let my tan do the talking (is that a thing ?!).

How to: Maintain your holiday tan

My summer holiday has been and gone and the week I spent tanning in Italy already feels like a distant memory - apart from the lingering tan I have. After months of Casper like paleness - it is my number one goal to hold onto my golden goddessness for as long as possible; so I've started to transition my fading with the introduction of gradual tanner.

Product Review: No7 Lash Impact

I am in love with the Lancôme mascaras but when it comes to everyday wear they do feel like a bit of an extravagance. With this in mind and my Hypnôse mascara finally dried up at the bottom of my handbag I thought I'd take a peak around Boots for something a bit different and noticed No 7's new Lash Impact mascara.

Best Daily SPF

No one. I repeat.. no one, wants to look like a prune. And I recently saw a before and after photo of what the pollution in London can do to your skin - it was not pretty. So I've finally started to reach for an SPF to put on in the morning and this Skin Perfecting Screen* by Radical Skincare has been awesome. In the middle of summer SPF 30 is a must - even if I'm spending most of my day in the office with the only sun I see during my commute home and back.

It comes out a little bit grey on your hands; a tad off putting but once it's blended in it quickly disappears leaving a matte finish on your skin - perfect for putting on your foundation. It comes with some insanely flattering light diffusing pigments and the slightest hint of tint which means I've been walking out the door without anything else on. The fact it's paraben free is the icing on the cake. If you're looking for something to keep your skin protected and perfected - I cannot recommend this enough.

What other SPF's have you been using to keep your skin in check ?
