Renew You: the holiday beauty essentials you need this summer

Bikini? Check. Beach read? Check. Beauty bag? Always a challenge. There’s too much to include, too many necessities. We’ve created the ultimate beach beauty kit to make filling your travel beauty bag entirely stress-free, from SPF that will leave your skin gleaming to hair masks that’ll soften your hair after the ocean breeze has been through it.

Soltan Mini Protect & Moisturise Spray SPF30, €4, Soltan Face Protect & Moisturise SPF50+, €5, Soltan Protect & Moisturise Lotion SPF50+, €5

Soltan’s SPF range not only provides intense moisturisation and a unique antioxidant complex to keep skin gleaming, but has a maximum five-star UVA protection, saving you from skin damage. Each of these is lightweight, water-resistant, absorbs quickly into the skin and feels non-greasy on – Soltan Face Protect & Moisturise SPF50+, €5, is especially good under make-up.

Spotlight Oral Care Sonic Electric Toothbrush, €109.99

With three different settings for sensitive teeth, deep cleaning and whitening, the Spotlight Oral Care Sonic Electric Toothbrush, €109.99, is a holy grail of toothbrushes, removing plaque and discoloration, with an endless battery life, a protective case for travelling and a guarantee of a better smile.

Bellamianta x Maura Higgins Glow Mist Bronze, €23.99

This shimmering mist sets make-up with a bronzed glow but also gives a deep, golden light to legs, collarbones, shoulders and arms, illuminating skin with a fresh-off-the-beach sheen.

Andrew Fitzsimons Repair Moisture Mask for Damaged Hair, €11.33

We all love the golden, sun-kissed highlights that appear on holidays, or the salty natural beach wave after a dip in the sea, but our hair feels differently. Andrew Fitzsimons Repair Moisture Mask for Damaged Hair, €11.33, nourishes dry, damaged hair with ceramides and a protein-based complex to deeply condition the hair and leave it soft and shiny.

Tangle Teezer Fine & Fragile Detangling Hairbrush, €14.99

Keep a Tangle Teezer in your beach bag for post-swim detangling. This one is made for colour-treated, fine and fragile hair with soft and gentle brushes that don’t pull and cause less breakage.

Avène Thermal Spring Water Spray, €5.50

No holiday beauty kit is complete without Avène Thermal Spring Water Spray, €5.50. It keeps your skin hydrated on a long, drying flight, soothes a sunburn and helps heal the skin during the post-burn peel, refreshes and cools you down in summer’s heat, depuffs your face after a long night of sangria, and is especially delicious on the skin if kept in the fridge.

L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Filler Replumping Hyaluronic Acid Ampoules, €24.99

The ampoule is the less embarrassing alternative to wearing a sheet mask on a flight and the lightest way to travel with just the right amount of serum. The L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Filler Replumping Hyaluronic Acid Ampoules, €24.99, plumps, hydrates and soothes the skin with hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, while the sealed-in serum stays super potent and fresh.

Caudalie Vinofresh Natural Stick Deodorant, €13

This translucent dome of eucalyptus and prebiotic grape water is as pleasing on the eye as it feels on the skin – it’s soothing, cooling and minty, feels hydrating on the skin, keeps you fresh, and leaves no white cast or stickiness. It feels amazing on and one stick lasts for ages.
