1. Murad Correcting Moisturising Broad Spectrum Cream SPF 15
Why this one: It hydrates and is an anti-irritant, colour-correcting tint, and fine if you want to remain bare-faced on a getaway. The goji berry, pomegranate and licorice ingredients are guaranteed to make your skin ultra-healthy.
Anything else: This soothing face cream needs to be reapplied every two hours. The fabulous fact? It has been tested on people and not bunnies. Yay for healthy bunnies.
How much: €42.50 here.
2. Aveeno Ultra Calming Anti Redness Cream SPF 20
Why this one: This cream is perfect under your foundation. It is a combination of gentleness and protection to alleviate your slapped-bum-face of old. It contains Feverfew, which is an anti-irritant and an anti-oxidant all in one.
Anything else: It's the best option for everyday use. Score.
How much: €13 here
3. Dermalogica Ultra Sensitive Faceblock SPF 25
Why this one: This brand is a higher SPF and regularly advised by skin therapists for those with particular skin conditions including Rosacea. Strengthening and protecting the skin is simple tick-the-box stuff with this face block. It's fragrance free and contains no nasty chemicals.
Anything else: The anti-inflammatory, botanical extracts soothe vulnerable holiday skin that is prone to breakouts. Sounds great, eh?
How much: €38.99 here.
4. Kiehl's Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50
Why this one: Ultra-light, easily absorbed and suitable for the most sensitive skin imaginable. It's the best for combating premature ageing as it contains a high UV filter system.
Anything else: Toying with the notion of a dip on your vacay? This one is water-resistant. It contains no alcohol or fragrance. Your face will not be a mask of a white product either - all the rage in the 90s but, a total no-no in the noughties. You've been told.
How much: €43 here or BT's Galway, Cork and Dublin. Or, House of Fraser in Dublin.
