VIVA’s 10 Favourite Summer Beauty Products
| 30th August 2015
Even though summer is slowly but surely coming to an end, many of us are still getting ready to go on holiday to enjoy the sun and sea in the warmer places of the world. For the lucky ones in this situation, VIVA has selected the must-have beauty products while going away on holiday:
1.Murad’s Invisiblur Perfecting Shield SPF 30 is a brilliant multi-tasker: a 5 in 1 multi-benefit formula featuring invisible SPF technology. This superb new anti-ageing treatment also blurs, primes, moisturises and protects with an invisible sunscreen to reveal a smooth, flawless complexion in just one step, and under 100ml so perfect for carry-on luggage!
Dr. Murad gave VIVA some advice on how to keep your skin glowing and hydrated during summer: “If you eat your water, you won’t need to count your glasses. Replace at least one glass of water a day with one serving of raw fruits or vegetables; you will be able to stay hydrated significantly longer. Eating foods that are rich in structured water, especially raw fruits and vegetables, will not only help your body hold onto water longer, you’ll get the added boost of important antioxidants, fibre and other nutrients. By sticking to a healthy diet you’ll end up eating most of the water needed each day to stay well hydrated and in turn have younger-looking skin.”
