Shiseido sunscreen

Shiseido sunscreens are notoriously fabulous, and this one is no exception. The mist is substantial so you get plenty of product with each sprits. And it has rose apple leaf extract to help protect your skin from oxidation (a major culprit in ageing). We especially love that you can use it on your face and your body – meaning there's more room in your tote for trashy beach reads.

Giorgio Armani Crema Nera Extrema Moisturiser

The obsidian glass housing Giorgio Armani's Crema Nera Extrema comes from thermal baths on an island off Sicily. The formula contains minerals to hydrate, firm, and brighten. It makes the skin so silky; you'd dip your entire body in the stuff.

Bobbi Brown BB Cream

With an impressive shade range and blend able formula, Bobbi Brown’s simply-named BB Cream is a great all-purpose option. It offers both UVA and UVB protection, and enough coverage to see you through the day.
