Cara’s eczema-prone skin is extremely sensitive and I have to be wary of the sun creams that I apply. We tried out the Bioderma KID SPF 50+ Milk over the holidays and we love it. It is non-greasy and it does not irritate her skin at all.
Specifically formulated to protect children’s skin. Offers direct protection of the DNA from UV rays. Blue in colour for safe application. UVA39.
It was her 4th birthday party over the weekend and we had a pool party. My mom made sure that all the kids were protected and the KID SPF 50+ Milk was really put to the test (we actually finished the tube). The kids spent the whole day in the hot sun and in the water and none of them complained of itchy skin or burny eyes, and no one was sun burnt.
This is a brilliant sun protection cream and we highly recommend it! RRP249.95.

Summer is sorted. Why? Because we now have Vichy Capital Soleil Hydrating Milk SPF50+.
This gorgeous sun protection cream has a SPF 50+ and is suitable for even the most sensitive skin types and can be applied to the face and body. It’s water resistant, hypoallergenic, fragrance and paraben free. I’ve tried it on myself and Cara’s delicate skin and we had no reaction. It absorbs quickly, leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth and leaves no greasiness behind. It just feels like a great moisturiser. According to Vichy it offers stem cell protection and protects against sun spots and sun induced wrinkles. If you want a healthy glow without the damage, this is the product you want. This massive tube retails for R399. I really think that a great price as this should last you all summer. Did I mention that it comes in a huge 300ml tube?!
I was very excited to try the two Vichy BB creams. I’m not a huge fan of BB creams as I prefer a bit more coverage, but who can say no to optimal protection whilst having a beautiful glow when you’re by the pool?
Vichy offers two variations –
BB Tinted Velvety Cream SPF 50+ for normal to dry skin and BB Tinted Dry Touch Face Fluid SPF 50 for combination to oily skins. They retail for R279.
Both products come in a natural tan shade, contains a SPF 50, provides a beautiful glow to the skin and evens out your skin tone.
I have been using the BB Tinted Velvety Cream and it gives my skin an immediate glow (like no other product that claims to do the same). The first time I used it I received many compliments on my gorgeous tan. I found the shade to work well with my skin. It may be a bit too dark for those with extremely pale skin though, so I recommend that you sample it first. It also provides an instant anti-ageing, moisturising and smoothing effect thanks to silicone gum and the anti-ageing benefits of hyaluronic acid aids to moisturise and replump.

My sister took the opportunity to quickly grab the BB Tinted Dry Touch Face Fluid which offers all the same benefits as the Velvety Cream but gives the skin a matte, powdery finish thanks to silica and corn starch.
I am really impressed with the BB Creams. High protection + gorgeous, even radiance = winning!
