Don't be a beach face!

So if you're anything like me, spending a day at the beach surfing the waves, baking in the sun, and laying blissfully in the sand listening to Ed Sheeran belting out Lego House is the perfect day..  but hands up if you've ever come home, looked in the mirror and ended up looking like a burnt leather handbag, or worse, a sunburnt Kim K? 

After covering every inch of our bodies in Aloevera, we swear to our future selves we will slip slop slap that SPF on the next beach day... well that is until we loose our glowing summer tans and start to blend into our white kitchen walls! 

However my vampire amigos; freckles, age spots, spider veins, rough/leathery skin, a blotchy complexion, and skin cancer (obvs) are all caused by too much sun exposure. You don't want to be a 23 year old babe on a night out on the town and mistaken for a 35 year old. 

So Sarah, you ask, HOW on earth can we look like this? 

Well, apart from the harsh cruelty of genetics, and our lack of photoshop in reality, there are some amazinggggg face products out there that are light, easy to apply, AND have SPF in them to protect your skin and give you that GOLDEN TANNED GLOW. And don't roll your eyes at me! these products are real gems that look effortless, because who wants to wear a full face of makeup at the beach, let your skin underneath shine!

BEST LIGHTWEIGHT SPF FOUNDATIONS/TINTED MOISTURISERS 

TIP: for that golden glow, go for a foundation that has a yellow undertone, and apply sparingly to let your natural skin shine through with the foundation acting as a tone corrector!
