With the warmer days and lighter evenings in full swing, our thoughts turn to sun, sea, sand and sangrias. As the sun beams, you’ll want feel protected and comfortable in your own skin, which is why it’s important that you get the right pre-summer skincare products. Take a look at our top six must-haves that will leave you glowing from top-to-toe when you hit the beach.
DAYTOX Vitamin C Serum – RRP £29
Not only does Vitamin C help to ward off a cold but it’s a real all-rounder when it comes to skincare. Vitamin C helps to brighten and reduce pigmentation, keep skin firm and plump and more importantly prevents and repairs signs of sun damage. Our go-to Vitamin C product is DAYTOX’s Vitamin C Serum. Formulated to provide an instant glow, this serum contains 10% Vitamin C tones and rejuvenates the skin, giving it a bright and radiant sheen.
Tancream – RRP £44.95

Hence the hefty price tag. It’s perfect for mums who don’t have a lot of time in the morning to get their face on! Just add a little lippy, blusher and eye makeup and you’re good to go.
