Unless you’re wearing a sun-protective hat at all times, don’t forget to pack something to save your scalp and hair this summer.

The Anti-Ageing SPF
Revitalift Clinical SPF50+ Invisible UV Fluid, £19.99 | L’Oréal
Daily (yes, through the winter too) use of high-level sun protection is one of the best things you can do to prevent signs of ageing like fine lines and hyperpigmentation. So, when an SPF is boosted with antioxidant vitamin C and hydrating hyaluronic acid, you’re onto a winner in terms of helping to stop the clock. With this formula, you don’t have to compromise on finish either – it’s lightweight, non-sticky and has no white cast.

The Humidity Proof Mascara
High Impact Waterproof Mascara, £25.50 | Clinique
Clinique’s High Impact mascara has been a winning formula for over 20 years due to its lengthening and lifting qualities and suitability for the most sensitive eyes. Although the original is very sturdy, this waterproof version is truly smudge resistant, even in extreme humidity or post-dip.

The Long-Lasting Suncream
Sports Spray SPF50 Sun Protection, £28 | UltraSun
Although we all should be re-applying our sunscreen after a swim, sweat and shower in sunny weather, it’s pretty much a given that most are probably not being diligent enough to be reaping the full factor 50 protection at all times. This spray formula – originally developed for athletes and outdoors use to last longer than most – helps to keep the protection levels high for longer and sunburn at bay.

The (Super Handy) Stick SPF
Vinosun Protect Invisible Sunstick SPF50, £12.80 (was £16) | Caudalie
This nifty, pocket-sized product is your answer to suncare on the go. Small enough to fit into a handbag, the smooth formula glides on easily as an SPF top-up during the day, even over make-up. Hydrating but not greasy, it can be used as a lip balm too.

The Anti-Dark Spot Serum
Vitamin C12 Serum Anti-Wrinkle and Radiance Restoring Serum, £45 | La Roche-Posay
Even with the best intentions and rigorous SPF application, hyperpigmentation – often caused by sun damage – can appear through the warmer, sunnier months. One of the best ingredients to combat this is vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps to minimise dark spots and bring glow back to the complexion. This powerhouse formula is regenerating, radiance-boosting and tone-evening with 12% vitamin C and smoothing salicylic acid, plus peptides to soothe and calm redness. Suitable for all skin types and tones, it’s a true all-rounder.

Available in over 25 shades, this skincare-make-up hybrid is a bestseller for many reasons: the finish, added SPF50, anti-ageing collagen peptides, antioxidants and pro-retinol… They've packed a lot of plusses into one tube. A really natural look with medium coverage and with great staying power too, it’s a good choice on holiday when you want an imperceptible but long-lasting layer of lightweight foundation.
