Holiday season is upon us! We’re ready to get giddy, lie back, guzzle rosé and post sunbathing pictures with the caption ‘hot dogs or legs?’ and #sorrynotsorry.
But when it comes to holiday protection, I propose an alternative list. Protect your mental health by leaving your phone in the hotel room and taking out a camera instead.
Protect yourself further from the yearn by packing Uno cards. It is my holiday religion. And, of course, protect your skin in the sunshine. Find yourself a gigantic 80s visor, and a swimming cossie that says ‘Up yours!’ to the idea that anyone needs to be ‘bikini body ready’. Search for a swim dress instead – bush friendly and a hoot to sashay about in.
And splash out on sun protection. Esthederm’s philosophy is that SPF alone is not enough. Its sun care range helps control inflammation by preparing the skin first. The Adapt Sun Body Lotion Strong Sun gets skin ready for basking, its tanning innovation the furthest away from putting a reflective lizard-like panel around your neck.
