TrendLife Beauty

Whether I’m going on holiday or just enjoying the British summer, I always make sure that my face is well protected with a SPF and the easiest way to do this is with a moisturiser that has an SPF already.

However the last thing I want is my skin breaking out or reacting badly, so that’s why I’m loving Oy! Face the Sun SPF15 from Green People. This clever 3-in-1 face moisturiser nourishes skin with essential Omega-3 & 6, protects with broad spectrum UVA/UVB from pure mineral sun filters, and has a natural tan accelerator from the carob tree to speed up the tanning process by 25%.

Organic Young (Oy!) by organic skin care experts, Green People, are 100% natural products that use a clever blend of certified organic and fairly traded ingredients with no gunk, junk or artificial nasties and instead use prebiotics, willow bark, teatree, rosehip and omega oils to protect, heal and care for your skin.

While my good intentions of preparing in advance for my summer holiday always end up with some rushed purchases at Duty Free, Functionalab's Opti-Tan is one product I’ll be adding to my holiday prep. Functionalab creates a range of science-based supplements and for a deep, uniform and long-lasting natural tan this summer, Functionalab has created Opti-Tan Formula.

Opti Tan Formula contains a unique combination of beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin with Vitamin E and Vitamin C, which encourages the natural production of melanin as well as protecting your skin against UV rays and reducing skin’s sun sensitivity. As a result you end up with a more even and long-lasting tan while providing inner protection against the damage from sun exposure. It’s recommended that you start taking Opti-Tan supplements 30 days before you head off to sunny shores.

Price: £30 for 30 day supply
