1) Nelsons Pure & Clear Purifying Daily Facial Wipes £5.45
These provide the perfect convenient solution to remove make-up and impurities whilst travelling and on holiday to help maintain a blemish-free complexion.

The Salter Luggage Scale is compact and lightweight (under 300g). As well as using it to check the weight of your luggage at home before you leave, you can also take it with you on your travels to check that all those holiday purchases don’t tip you over your baggage limit on the way home.You simply attach the scale to your bag, lift it by the handle, and wait for the beep to see the total weight. They were SO useful on the way back from my holidays!!

The Best Sensitive Skin Suncreams

I suffer with EXTRA sensitive skin and always struggle to find products that are suitable so I thought I would give you a round up of great products that are extra kind to sensitive skin.

Here are my Top 5 Suncreams -

1) Aubrey Unscented Suncream SPF 30 £14.29
All-natural, broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) mineral sunscreen. The cream is a sheer, gentle sunscreen which maintains skin’s moisture balance with organic shea butter, organic jojoba oil and aloe. The unscented formula is ideal for sensitive skin. They also do an amazing Aftersun!!!


2) Green People No Scent Sun Lotion SPF 25 £17.95
Natural protection from UVA and UVB radiation. This natural sun lotion is made without Parabens, Lanolin, phthalates, artificial perfumes, petrochemicals and colourants to bring you the purest sunscreen that nature can offer. This smells goes on brilliant and was great for my sensitive skin. Green People also have an amazing scent free body lotion and body wash.
3) Caudalie Face Suncare SPF 30 £22.50
This cream for the face provides excellent all-around protection: broad spectrum UVA/UVB, anti-ageing and cellular DNA. Its silky formula gives skin a matte, transparent and non-sticky finish. Moisturized and fortified, the skin is evenly tanned and the complexion is luminous. This kept my skin so soft all day and smells great!!!
Anti-ageing face suncare SPF30
4) Simple Sun Senstive Protecting Lotion SPF 30 £9.99
Simple Protecting Suncare Lotion SPF 30 is a special blend of active ingredients and sunflower goodness to naturally protect against sun damage and help prevent sun induced allergies. Perfect for sun sensitive skin and absorbed into my skin so quickly - I LOVED it!



5) Ultrasun SPF 30 Super Sensitive £18
Ultrasun delivers very high all day protection (UVA 93% and UVB SPF30) with just one application per day. Its super sensitive formulation is ideal for very sensitive and children’s skin and helps to prevent 'prickly heat' reactions. Which is ideal for my ultra-sensitive skin!
I hope this helps.
