The bd team trial products to get skin in tip-top condition.
You’re got your new bikini and you’re ready to hit the beach, and, of course, you want to be sun-safe but sometimes sunscreen’s white residue can literally get everywhere, leaving you with a ghostly complexion. That’s why this summer, my bag will be packed with Cancer Council’s Oil-Free Clear Sunscreen Continuous Spray. This sunscreen sprays on clear and easily rubs into the skin, leaving you with the feeling you’re not wearing anything at all. The non-comedogenic formula means it won’t block your pores and the fact it’s oil-free means its suitable for those with oily skin. The best bit, however, is that it’s SPF 50+, so you know you’re giving your skin the best protection you can. Here’s to a sun-safe summer! - Eliza
Recently, I have been itchy. Something about this warm summer weather has brought the mozzies to my home, and I am being eaten alive! La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 is a multi-repairing balm that has helped to mend my sensitive and irritated skin. Initially I deemed a balm reducing my itch as wishful thinking, but the rich, soothing balm contains active ingredients that favour skin recovery and soothe dry, irritated areas. I’ve been very happy with the result. My skin felt calmer, the need to scratch was gone, and my mosquito bites eventually healed. No more itch, thanks to La Roche-Posay. - Maddie
I feel like I’ve recently only discovered the joys of face-tanners. Giving a subtle glow and even skin tone, it makes me instantly look healthier and less tired. St.Tropez Gradual Tan Plus Anti-Ageing Face gives you that quick-fix but with some serious long lasting effects. Being an Australian-first that combines tanning, anti-ageing and hydration - it works to boosts collagen synthesis, plump and visibly lift fine lines and wrinkles, while giving a natural bronze glow. In just one product, I feel like I’m ticking a lot of boxes. - Nat
L’Occitane Sorbet Verbena Exfoliating Shower Gel
I've traditionally been a soap kinda-gal, but have recently begun to discover the allure of shower gels. And with ones like this offering from L'Occitane on the market, it's easy to understand why. The scent is super-fresh and has a citrus aroma that instantly has skin delicately fragranced with a summer vibe. With exfoliating lemon peel granules, the Sorbet Verbena Exfoliating Shower Gel gently cleanses the skin and leaves it soft and smooth. - Yelena
While this lotion hasn’t turned me into Jennifer Aniston, it does live up to what it promises - hydrated and moisturised skin. This cream is free from any fragrances, so your skin feels comforted without any smell to compete with your perfume. It instantly takes away any dry feel from my skin, without any sticky feeling left behind. Moisturising my body is an essential part of my daily routine, but because I do apply cream every day, my moisturiser bottle always tends to run out really quickly. Thanks to Aveeno, this daily moisturising lotion is a large 532mL size that lasts me a good couple of months. The handy pump applicator makes applying the product easy too. - Liz
