The best summer skin is, by definition, unfinished. A little salt, sunshine, and the faint suggestion of colour where the light catches the cheekbone. For evenings, we resist the urge to add more: a sweep of bronzer, a little colour on the lip, skin that has been quietly tended all day and shows it. The products we travel with are few, deliberate, and chosen to do more than one thing. Sun protection that feels like nothing. Glow that looks like health. A moisturiser that restores while you sleep in white cotton sheets with the terrace door open. This, for us, is what beauty at its best looks like in June.
Product Notes
Sisley Phyto-Touche Illusion d’Été
The bronzing powder that has spent thirty years earning its cult status. Worn alone over moisturised skin, it delivers exactly the kind of sun-touched finish that a week in the South of France used to require.
Sisley Phyto-Touche Gel Éclat
A sheer, skin-perfecting gel that sits so lightly it feels like nothing and reads like everything. The secret behind the kind of glow that prompts questions at dinner.
Sisley Émulsion Écologique Formule Avancée
The daily moisturiser for those who believe that good skin is built, not painted. Lightweight, deeply restorative, and intelligent enough to adapt to skin that has spent the afternoon at the water’s edge.
Sisley Lip Contour Liner
The single most civilising act in a minimal summer routine. One considered line and the face is complete: no gloss, no fuss, just the faintest hint of colour.
Aesop Protective Facial Lotion SPF 50
Sun protection as it should always have been: invisible on the skin, indistinguishable from a good moisturiser, and rigorous enough to be taken seriously. The first step, without exception.
Aesop Solais Replenishing Hand Serum
Hands tell the truth about how a summer has been spent. This serum, rich with botanical actives, tells a flattering version of it: replenished, soft, entirely at ease.
