As hot weather leaves us in a fluster, the quest for beauty products to keep your cool becomes paramount. Whether it's smear, sweat and swim-proof stains that won’t budge, invigorating scalp treatments or cooling SPF serums, discover our curated selection of resilient beauty products.

5% Vitamin C Sheer Moisturiser SPF50
Paula's Choice

Paula's Choice products have surged in popularity over the past couple of weeks – namely their 2% Skin Perfecting BHA Liquid Exfoliant, one of which supposedly sells every 12 seconds. But the long-awaited arrival of sunshine has guided us in the direction of the brand’s sun-protective offering. This weightless SPF is supercharged with 5% vitamin C, acetyl zingerone & algae-derived amino acids. With a milky texture that instantly absorbs into the skin, this hardworking, 3-in-1 moisturiser leaves your face free of tackiness and with ample protection from UV rays.

Wonder Blading Lip Stain
Wonderskin

A scroll down any social media site and you’re likely to stumble across a new craze that's infiltrating the beauty market. Stains are this summer’s solution to keeping colour firmly on your lips. Smear, sweat and swim-proof, the staining method also lets you control the depth of your chosen colour with ease, locking in hydration and pigment. Just don’t be alarmed by the bright blue application process!

Deep Moisture Spray
Curél 

We all know basking in the fine spray of a nearby water feature or garden sprinkler can be a saving grace come peak summer. This ultra-fine moisturising spray does just that on the go, providing instant hydration all over the face and body. Devoid of any nasties, but imbued with a skin-loving formula, it can be applied before, after and even during makeup application, leaving your skin feeling dewy and fresh.

The Halo Hydrator Calming Hydration Scalp Mask
STRAAND 

Studies show that doubling down on your hair care routine and introducing a weekly scalp cleanse can relieve tension, remove build-up and trigger body-loving endorphins. A lesser known fact is that “scalp facials” can also work to cooling effect. This hydrating gel mask contains calming niacinamide, cooling aloe vera and hyaluronic acid, helping soothe your dry scalp with bursts of hydration. Dive head first into the cooling capabilities of haircare.

Cooling Water Jelly Tint
MILK Makeup

MILK’s sheer buildable blush and lip stain delivers a smudge-proof, watercolour effect. Cooling and hydrating the lips and face with its fun jelly texture. Super easy to apply with your fingertips and a go-to for hot weather when you want to enhance your sun-kissed glow. A tip is to keep your stick in the fridge for an added cooling effect.

Protect 'N' Glow Radiance Booster SPF 30
Simple

Simple’s Radiance Booster does what it says on the tin. This super light and dewy formula is the perfect (affordable) source of sun protection! Squeeze the clear and silky gel onto the face under moisturiser or makeup and you're good to go. It leaves the face feeling soft, protected and as though nothing has been applied at all!

Energizing Superactive
Davines

Although developed to mitigate hair loss and promote growth, this product also does wonders when it comes to cooling. With invigorating mint, lemon peel and eucalyptus the serum lifts from the roots, leaving your head clear – and your hair bouncy and luscious.
