Summer is almost upon us, and many sun lovers will already be thinking about taking a break, long days at the beach, and kicking back with friends and family. The Australian climate can really take its toll on your skin, however, if your outdoors doing anything from enjoying a family barbecue to walking the dog, or even doing something good for your health like exercising. To help protect your skin there’s a myriad of products to choose from these days, but new for this summer is the SPF50+ Suncare Collection from Natio. There is a product for every part of the body, and for all needs, in this lovely, no fuss range. And besides UVA an UVB protection, which ticks off ageing and burning, the formulas are super friendly to sensitive skins, and enriched with nourishing ingredients such as aloe vera and vitamin E which is great for overall skin health. Starting with the face is a Daily Defence Face Moisturiser SPF50+ (rrp $17.95/100ml) which protects the skin effectively from the elements. It’s a light, shine-free lotion which is also super hydrating without feeling heavy on the skin, and can be worn alone or as a primer under a foundation. There’s also a Tinted Moisturiser should you wish to combine a foundation with sun protection.
Moving to the body there are three convenient options. The first is a Moisturising Sun Lotion SPF50+ (rrp $15.95/200ml) which absorbs into the skin quickly, leaving it soft and smooth without being sticky. There’s also a handy Broad Spectrum Roll-On Sunscreen SPF50+ (rrp $11.95) which is ideal to slip into a handbag, delivering an even application every time, even hard to reach spots. And there’s a Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF50 (rrp $11.95/100ml), also in a handy size for a handbag, the formula easily absorbed into the kin and offering high protection. Finally, if you’ve been out in the elements all day or you’ve had too much sun, Natio has included a refreshing and soothing Aloe & Cucumber After Sun Lotion (rrp $12.95/150ml) which rehydrates the skin and offers gentle relief. All the formulas have a very gentle, or virtually no fragrance, and they feel lovely on the skin without any stickiness or residue; ideal for wearing not only on the beach but with regular clothes. They are available now from David Jones and Myer, along with selected pharmacies; essential and affordable for your skin this summer. (www.natio.com.au).
