Murad – Oil and Pore Control Mattifier

Shiseido – Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate

Alongside its anti-ageing/fatigue properties, Shiseido’s Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate enhances the skin’s internal defences and fights oxidation and damage caused by harmful UV rays.
Daimon Barber – Face Wash
Particularly beneficial for the city slickers amongst us, a good cleanser to wash away the oil, grime, dirt and fumes of the day is essential. Offering all that and more, Daimon Barber’s Face Wash strips away the badness while restoring and hydrating skin with anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties to boot.
Wǒ Skincare – Anti Blemish Essence
While we can do our best to avoid it – sweating, searing and sun-caused dry skin will inevitably lead to a breakout or two.

Nine Yards – Purple Shampoo & Conditioner

While arguably not one for during the day in the summer sun, Olverum’s Pure Radiance Facial Oil serves as a superior PM pamper product for skin screaming for a little love. Formulated with intense hydration, anti-ageing and all-around skin nourishment in mind, its suitability to sun-damaged skin only excels itself as it also works to blur the appearance of dark spots caused by harmful UV rays.
