Caudalie Anti-Aging Face Suncare £20
I had no idea that Caudalie suncare products even existed but once I spied this pretty tube in Space NK, I couldn’t wait to try it. You can find it online here. The Caudalie factor 50 sun cream is slightly greasy but it’s nothing a dab of sheer face powder won’t fix. I used this for the first five days of my holiday and applied it once in the morning before I left my hotel room. I also applied it after swimming and due to the high factor it feels like a cooling protective barrier from the sun. Impressively I still managed to tan through it with no sign of pigmentation. My face tanned evenly which proves that the levels of protection are sufficient. I will always use a factor 50 for my face in the future. My favourite thing about this cream was its anti-aging properties.
Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Cream For Face High Protection £19.00
The Clarins factor 30 came into play on the last few days of my holiday as I wanted to compare it to the Caudalie sun cream. A Cosmopolitan Beauty award winner, this sun cream features luxurious ingredients such as Sesame Oil and Aloe to protect skin while leaving it moisturized. Like the Caudalie sun cream, this tiny tube boasts adequate anti-aging agents which is a bonus. You can find it online here. It’s non oily so you don’t need to use it with powder but the Caudalie tube wins hands down on fragrance.
If I had to choose, Caudalie has my vote. Which is your favourite?
