For the past two weeks, we've been blessed with gorgeous sunny skies and I think we can safely say summer is here to stay; there's no denying a little bit of sun fills the heart with positive and feel-good factors! I've put together three summer essentials I'm currently using that retail each under R300: NIVEA SUN Protect & Moisture Sun Lotion SPF50 (R169), My Payot Brume Eclat revivifying mist (R259) and HelioCare Advance Gel SPF50 (R295):

HelioCare Advance Gel SPF50

Years of tanning without suncream has taken its toll on my skin so it goes without saying that my routine includes an SPF every day, so I am currently using HelioCare Advanced Gel SPF50.

It ticks the boxes for: - being lightweight - sinks into skin quickly - doesn't leave any white residue - is oil-free so no breakouts for me - feels non-greasy or tacky - it doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes

- non-comedogenic

- suitable for all skin types

Key ingredients are FernBlock, a natural plant extract found in Central America which contains photoprotective properties and a broad spectrum protection to protect skin. It's consistently a best-seller on Dermastore website available here.

NIVEA SUN Protect & Moisture Sun Lotion SPF50 I'm a hurry-up let's go girl on the weekend, so I like to wake up, get dressed before walking down to the beach for an early morning swim, so this particular Nivea cream ticks the boxes for: -not messing up my clothes if I accidentally get cream on them thanks to an anti-stain formula - pleasant smell - sinks in quickly - moisturises my skin whilst offering UVA/UVB sun protection - water resistant -best price point (R169 for 200ml)

My Payot Brume Eclat Revivifying Mist I'm a fan of facial mists to keep skin hydrated, so am always on the lookout for new ones. This one caught my eye because it contains anti-aging ingredients like hyaluronic acid and superfruit extracts. It ticks the boxes for:

- formulated with no alcohol (so is non-drying) - can be used for freshening up throughout the day - used over makeup to help set - refresh, hydrate and protect skin - used at night after your night cream to intensify the regenerative properties - suitable for all skin types (R259 for 50ml)
