Summer is now starting to fade away and takes with it the saltiness and sand left at the bottom of our beach bag. I experienced very little of the summer of 2016 and, even though I am very happy to have been busy, I regret not having talked on the blog about my routine for this very hot summer.
The sunscreens that kept me company on my seaside escapades were brands that have always been friends and tasty novelties.
♥ HAWAIIAN TROPIC ♥
Hawaiian Tropic is one of those brands that must be in your beach bag. Its sunscreens have always been innovative and safe. Hawaiian Tropic is a successful brand that was born on the sunny beaches of Florida in 1969. Since 2009 in Italy, it is now among the best-selling sunscreens. The ingredients and fragrances that differentiate Hawaiian Tropic from any other sunscreen line, making it highly desirable, remain a certainty. Carefully selected for their beneficial effects, ingredients such as hydrating silk ribbons make the skin very soft, while the unmistakable tropical scent gives, all year round, the emotion of summer.
There were three new products that I had the chance to try and love: Silk Hydration Air-Soft , Satin Protection in the continuous spray format , After Sun Ultra Radiance .
♥ HAWAIIAN TROPIC SILK HYDRATION AIR-SOFT
Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Air-Soft pampers your skin with a sunscreen so light that it feels like bare skin, but capable of intense hydration for up to 12 hours. It has an ultra-light texture, with an invisible effect, it is easily absorbed and protects the skin under the sun comfortably! Delicate as silk, it has a unique formulation with antioxidant properties. Its soft silk ribbons transmit an enveloping sensation of pleasure and protection, for guaranteed softness. And then, the practical cosmetic dispenser is designed not to disperse the product, but to dispense the right amount, without waste.
♥ HAWAIIAN TROPIC SATIN PROTECTION CONTINUOUS SPRAY
My favorite for speed of application, fun and protection is Satin Protection Spray Continuous . A light spray, that reaches everywhere without having to ask for help from the neighbor under the umbrella.
It has a texture that is quickly absorbed without greasing the skin, protects it from UVA/UVB rays and is characterised by a delicious fragrance.
A very light spray, which may not even need to be massaged because it is transparent and so light that it is absorbed instantly.
Satin Protection, thanks to its water resistant formulation, is the right sunscreen for sports lovers and those who lead a dynamic lifestyle even on the beach: long swims and intense beach volleyball matches do not compromise the effectiveness of its protection.
♥ HAWAIIAN TROPIC AFTER SUN ULTRA RADIANCE
And then at the end of the day there is Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Ultra Radiance , the super hydrating after sun with a sexy texture. Very fresh with Shea butter and Mango extract, it gives the skin ultra radiance: highly soothing, it makes it soft and shiny. With micro glitter that sparkles without weighing it down, it is perfect for summer evenings to highlight the tan. But honestly this was not a product for me, precisely because I do not like small golden flakes, except for a special occasion.
♥ ISDIN ♥
Among the new products that have amazed and fascinated me is ISDIN , a Spanish brand that develops solutions for every skin need, from hydration to photoprotection of the face and body.
The brand’s novelties are the Fusion technology : Fusion Water and Fusion Air .
Fusion Water and Fusion Air are two new generation photoprotectors that incorporate cutting-edge technologies in formulation with sun filters obtaining an excellent cosmeticity . Formulated starting from two essential elements that today we could not have imagined them part of a photoprotector: water and air.
♥ ISDIN FUSION AIR
Fusion Air the first ultra-light spray with dry touch, formulated in an innovative way, mixing a unique combination of air in gaseous form and ISDIN fusion® technology, offers a light spray with dry touch Dry touch on the skin, with a very high UVA and UVB 50+ protection. An ultra-light spray that is easily absorbed, hydrates and refreshes without leaving residues. An invisible protection that fuses with the skin and disappears in a few seconds.
Unlike Hawaiian Tropic’s continuous spray, Fusion Air has a mousse effect spray: the product is sprayed like a soft mist that gives a sensation of freshness and creaminess, which vanishes immediately after massaging it.
♥ ISDIN FUSION WATER
Fusion Water is the first water-based photoprotector for the face. Formulated in an innovative way, it is a gel matrix that minimizes the oily phase of the product providing very high UVA protection and UVB protection 50+, with a sensation of freshness and silky touch.
A technologically advanced sunscreen that does not irritate the eyes thanks to Safe-Eye Technology and that can also be applied on wet skin being a wet skin . With antiaging and antioxidant active ingredients, it has an immediate absorption that blends with the skin, providing invisible protection.
Its matte, dry and light effect on the skin, transforms it into a perfect summer moisturizer. I do not deny that its use, as far as I am concerned, has been mostly as a makeup base and daily moisturizer.
As you know, finding the right moisturizer for summer is hard work, after trying Fusion Water I never stopped using it. My skin remained smooth, hydrated, soft and protected all summer long! Remaining intact during work as a makeup base, without making my skin shiny and without weighing it down (which is very difficult under hot lights and a hectic work), it has become my daily friend.
And now, after bringing the last breath of sun and summer, let’s start the countdown to Christmas!
