A true hero product, perfect for dealing with the dryness, for rehydrating after being in the sun, for giving your skin a boost after flying or being exposed to blasting a/c, apparently the ‘unique Hyaluronic Gel Matrix present in Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Water Gel moisturizer creates a hydration reservoir, working with the skin’s natural moisture transport system to actively replenish, restore and deliver hydration as and when your skin requires it throughout the day.’ And in simple terms, your skin is left feeling so soft and supple and glowing.

I am obsessed with this brand – it contains no nasties and is packed full of natural ingredients meaning the whole family can get stuck in. This lightweight body lotion is enriched with Aloe Vera, Shea butter and honey and has beautiful soothing properties so it’s suitable for all skin types including sensitive. The perfect summer lotion.

Madame LA LA bronzing ball:

While it might be lovely to feel the sun on your face, just think of all those wrinkles! Get that sun-kissed look without baking your skin with this twist up cream bronzer that glides on effortlessly giving the skin a gorgeous colour. The product comes in two shades: light and dark to match all skin tones. It’s also infused with vitamin E and CoCo water, which hydrates the skin and fights against ageing. Yay!

Co-Lab Active dry shampoo:
Price: AED 35

Literally the best product for mamas, this revolutionary dry shampoo not only steps in on those days when you simply don’t have the time to wash your hair (yes, it happens) by absorbing excess oil, it also revives and protects the hair against sun damage and pollutants. The unique sheer and invisible formula is perfect to use during the summer or after the gym (haha yeah right…) to keep your hair looking gorge and smelling sweet.
