A cream with a chocolate scent that will restore dry skin, a gel that will cool it by three degrees, an oil that will make your tan bronzed and radiant, and a balm that will prolong its durability - the editors of BeautyHack have selected the best products to be sure to put in your holiday cosmetic bag. …
Sunscreen lotion with oil fondant tree Suscreen Lotion Roucou SPF15, St Barth
Tested by editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
Fans of the brand from the Caribbean know that the means are good not only in words. Light texture, attractive aromas, natural composition and velvety skin after using creams are not all of their benefits.
The lotion with fondant tree oil has a low protection factor (SPF 15), but it will be relevant as a daily care, or for those lucky ones who have already traveled to the sea.
I apply the product in the morning and in the evening - the skin becomes soft, moisturized and illuminated. With the lotion, it turns out to achieve a sleek skin effect that has not gone out of fashion for several seasons.
But keep in mind - the lotion must be applied at least half an hour before leaving the house. It is slowly absorbed, but the active components penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis, which means that you will be 100% protected from harmful ones.
Price: 5 070 rub.
Rejuvenating body milk after sun Youth Lotion After Sun Body, Guinot
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
Chemical engineer Rene and cosmetologist Raymonda Guinot have devoted all their professional activities to the creation of anti-aging products and the search for ways to deliver them to the deep layers of the dermis. One of the patents of the family company is the Hydraderm procedure - a device created by the Guinot couple and later improved by the brand's employees, which is responsible for the active penetration of the components of the funds under the skin. It was invented in 1965, and now you can see analogues in the office of any cosmetologist. Even Rene was the first to come up with the idea of making care products in the gel format, and his followers (now the company is managed by a friend of the Guinot family, Doctor of Pharmaceutical Sciences Jean Daniel Mondan) expanded the line of products, and now every girl can find her own, the only remedy.
Milk after sunburn is more like a cream - a product with a dense texture is best distributed on the skin with massage movements. But in this case it is rather a plus, because after ten minutes of such a "home spa" you get soft, silky tanned skin that shines beautifully in the sun thanks to the small shimmer in the composition of the product.
As many as 56 anti-age components work to protect and restore after sunbathing, including such "leaders" in the fight for tanning as melanin, kelp extract and vitamin E.
Price: 5 860 rub.
Sun spray SPF 50+, A-Derma
Tested by editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
The spray is suitable for girls with fragile skin who are not "friends" with tanning. The composition contains oat sprout oil, which well protects the skin barrier from UV rays.
The product has a convenient dispenser that dispenses the right amount of product. The light texture is quickly absorbed, and the skin remains hydrated and soft even after a day in the sun.
Price: 1 110 rub.
Milk anti-sand set SPF50, 200 ml + Thermal water, 50 ml, Vichy
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
Honestly, since childhood, I like to lie on the sand and always ignore sun loungers (even with pillows!). But I have very dry and sensitive skin, which burns at the moment if I appear in the sun without protective equipment. Therefore, the sand adhering to the cream is my eternal companion of a beach holiday.
But not with Vichy - I applied the milk with light massage movements all over the body and went to sunbathe. An hour later I got up to renew the product, and there was not a single grain of sand on my body!
I also liked the light texture: the milk is quickly absorbed and does not leave a sticky film on the body after contact with water. And the high protection factor has not hurt anyone yet - yes, the tan will "stick" to the body longer, but the UV rays will harm the skin less.
Thermal water in the set is a nice bonus. I don't really like swimming, and a small bottle in my bag will always help to freshen up!
Price per set: about 1 600 rubles.
Repairing lotion after sun Protect AH Repairing Lotion After-Sun, A-Derma
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
The main ingredient in most A-Derma products is Realba oat sprout oil, which is grown in France. The product contains no alcohol, so the milk can be applied to sensitive skin and used to care for the skin of children. It spreads quickly and absorbs without leaving a film.
A separate bonus is the lack of a bright aroma. But the sea wants to smell like salt and sea breeze!
Price: 1074 rub.
Sunscreen spray for face and body Anthelios SPF 30, La Roche-Posay
Tested by BeautyHack Senior Editor Anastasia Speranskaya
My bright orange and white jars from the Anthelios line are immediately associated with vacation. Apply on tanned skin, feel the scent of summer, and take a running start to the sea! For the beach, I, Snow White, still need a very high degree of protection, but SPF 30 will come in handy for walking in the afternoon.
In the spray I immediately appreciated the super-light and non-greasy formula - for combination skin this is what the doctor ordered: it remains moisturized, but the face is not “decorated” with an oily sheen.
Owners of sensitive skin will also like the product - thanks to its excellent photoprotection, redness and allergic reactions will not spoil your vacation.
Feel free to take the spray with you on trips and use it in the city, armed with La Roche-Posay thermal water (refreshes for five with a big plus) - and you will not be afraid of the treacherous rays of ultraviolet radiation.
Price: 1 451 rub.
Sunscreen spray-mist for body Bariesun Brume Seche SPF 50+, Uriage
Tested by BeautyHack project manager Anastasia Lyagushkina
The first thing that catches your eye is the bright solar packaging. I immediately want to lie under a palm tree and sunbathe!
When choosing sun protection products for me, the composition is the first priority. The novelty from Uriage did not disappoint - there is no alcohol in it, and all components are hypoallergenic.
The texture of the spray is very light and weightless, does not leave a sticky film on the skin and does not leave marks on the swimsuit. And it is also quickly absorbed - within a few minutes after application, I run into the sea, without fear of getting burned! SPF 50+ will save even snow white with porcelain skin from sunburn and redness.
Price: 1 040 rub.
Gel Anthelios Betskin 50+, La Roche-Posay
Tested by editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
A find for the impatient - if you don’t like to wait for the skin to dry after the sea and you can update the protective agent, then the Betskin technology was invented especially for you! Thanks to her, the product can be applied even to damp skin, but it will still remain protected.
Upon contact with water, the dense cream turns into a light gel that is quickly absorbed into the skin. At sea, I gladly shared the gel with my younger brother - it is suitable for children from 3 years old. Namely, babies constantly climb into the water and get burns - in the water the sun's rays are even more active. But with a protection factor of 50, the likelihood of skin damage is excluded.
Price: 1 506 rub.
Refreshing gel after sun Sublime Sun "Protection and moisturizing" -3 ° C, L'Oréal
Tested by BeautyHack Senior Editor Anastasia Speranskaya
Imagine - on the beach, you overdid it with sunbathing, and your skin literally burns, begging you for a cool shower. Sound familiar?
L'Oréal's refreshing gel was created just for such cases - it cools the skin by as much as 3 degrees and at the same time perfectly moisturizes it.
The consistency of the gel resembles soft jelly (here you can read about 10 more products with a similar texture). It melts quickly on the skin, but do not be afraid - there will be no frosty "creeps". But you will immediately feel freshness, as if a cool sea breeze is blowing over you.
Castor oil, camellia leaf extract and aloe vera juice are responsible for moisturizing in the composition. The latter is easy to guess from the aroma - the gel subtly smells of fresh herbs.
Price: 570 rub.
Body Milk Tan and Protection Sublime Sun SPF15, L'Oreal Paris
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
The product has a pleasant milk texture - quite liquid, but very economical. The product is perfectly distributed over the skin, is quickly absorbed and leaves a pleasant citrus scent - but there is no sticky feeling, only hydration and comfort remain.
Thanks to the special Mexoryl SX filter system, sunscreen milk stimulates the natural production of melanin - the tan is very even and lasts a long time on the skin. Vitamins and antioxidants are also not superfluous here - in the sun, the skin is always exposed to additional stress.
For the first days by the sea, SPF 15 protection will not be enough, but for hot evenings and the last days of rest, the milk is perfect (by the way, it can be applied to the skin and face and body).

Milk for face and body Anthelios, La Roche-Posay
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
Pharmacy cosmetics inspire me with boundless trust - the laboratories of such brands are more reminiscent of the offices of medieval alchemists, in which something magical is created with care and kindness to the end consumer.
Therefore, for the holidays, I chose a product according to four criteria - a pharmacy brand, versatility, impressive volume and a high factor of protection against UV rays. La Roche-Posay milk answered all the points!
As a rule, products with protection 50+ lie like a mask, and after bathing, white stains remain on the face and body. But not with Anthelios products - it spreads very easily and evenly, and is also quickly absorbed. The product does not leave streaks, and 250 ml is enough for several trips, even if it is renewed every two hours.
Price: 1 251 rub.
Sunscreen light dry spray SPF 30 Protection and moisturizing Sublime Sun, L'Oreal
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
In the first days by the sea, I hide in the shade and apply generously all over the body and face with SPF 50 protection. But then the soul requires vitamin D and chocolate tan, and I start to crawl out into the sun. But I can't do without SPF, and light sprays with 30 protection come to the rescue.
This season, the choice fell on the lightweight L'Oreal product, primarily due to the ease of application. I spray it all over the body and do not have time to rub it into the skin - it is instantly absorbed. Protects well too - I didn't notice a hint of redness or dryness. And after using the product, the tan lays down very evenly - what you need in the middle of the rest!
Price: about 1,000 rubles.
Soothing body cream, Dr. Konopka's
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Daria Mironova
I learned about the products of the Russian brand from our selection and did not miss the opportunity to try a miracle cream, which was supposed to soothe irritated and inflamed skin.
The result did not disappoint - thanks to the light texture, the product was quickly absorbed without leaving an oily film, and the skin became very soft. The irritation did not disappear completely, but the cream significantly eased my suffering, and I went to bed with a clear conscience - the lavender scent "worked" as a natural sleeping pill.
The remedy will be very important on vacation - after the first sunbathing, the skin is always under stress, and the cream will be able to soothe it in 20 minutes (this is how much dense, dense texture is absorbed into the skin).
Price: 500 rub.
Refreshing cream after sun protection Expert Ambre Solaire, Garnier
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
After active sunbathing, the skin gives sos signals, and they were heard!
The cream has a rather thick consistency, one package will last for a long time - suitable for a fun company or a large family. The product perfectly refreshes the skin with a pleasant chill, soothes and moisturizes it.
And for the owners of sensitive skin, this product is "number one" in the holiday cosmetic bag. Despite its dense texture, it spreads easily over the skin without injuring or irritating it. And it is also quickly absorbed - I put it on after a shower, pull on shorts and run for an evening boat trip.
Price: 425 rub.
Sunscreen invisible body spray SPF 30, Yves Rocher
Tested by editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
Hydrated skin, even after sunbathing, sounds like a dream, but with Yves Rocher it can very well become a reality.
The spray does not look like products from the "invisible" category - it has an oily texture, and it lies on the skin with a thin veil that is not absorbed to the end - it is better to take care of your beach dress and towel.
Protects the spray not by 30, but by all 50 - for snow white on a note. After the shower was taken, the skin remained smooth and hydrated.
Price: 920 rub.
Revitalizing milk for face and body after sunburn, Yves Rocher
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Daria Mironova
I have pale skin that reacts sharply to sunlight. In the city I cannot do without these funds, and on the beach I don’t go out of the shade without a product with SPF 50. But on the first sunny days in the countryside, I neglected the golden rule, and the skin on my shoulders and arms turned red. Milk with a light consistency saved the situation.
The product with a pleasant fresh scent quickly absorbed into irritated skin without injuring it. Ten minutes later, the shoulders became noticeably less red, and by the evening I got rid of the feeling of discomfort - I even managed to forget that I was burnt out in the morning. And the shoulders and arms remained moist for the rest of the day.
Price: 539 rub.
Transparent spray with aloe vera Sun water SPF 30, Garnier
Tested by editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
I saved this product for the holidays - the spray will be the first thing I put in my beach makeup bag. The product with the consistency of a light veil will refresh the skin under the scorching sun, and SPF 30 will prevent it from burning.
Under active sunlight, the sun protection product needs to be renewed every few hours, so the aloe vera extract in the composition came in handy - it did not dry out the skin, but softened and additionally moisturized it (especially if sunbathing was prolonged).
I liked that the spray is absorbed very quickly and does not leave a sticky film - you can lie on the sand with a clear conscience until sunset.
Price: 649 rub.
Oil-spray Ambre Solair with shea tanning SPF 10, Garnier
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Anna Khobotova
Another ally in the fight for an even, bronze tan! Oil with a light consistency is perfect for dark-skinned girls. The most valuable thing in it is the composition, which is enriched with shea butter. Thanks to him, the product moisturizes, nourishes and soothes the skin well. No wonder it occupied an honorable place in Cleopatra's cosmetic bag!
The product is easy to apply and absorbs quickly into the skin. I immediately fell in love with the scent - spicy, sweet notes with chords of coke reminded me of the sea and romantic evenings on the beach.
Price: 619 rub.
Oil-shine SPF 10 Intensive tanning activator Bronzeada, Librederm
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
With my delicate skin, it was impossible to achieve a chocolate tan at all - I instantly burned out, it was worth going out into the sun with a protection factor of less than SPF 30. Therefore, I could only sigh, looking at the photos of models with smooth, bronze skin.
But that was before I got to know the Russian brand oil. It has a low defense factor, so you shouldn't use it in the first days of your vacation (unless, of course, you are a mulatto).
The oil spreads easily on the skin, is quickly absorbed and leaves behind a pleasant scent associated with heat and the sea. It gently nourishes and moisturizes the skin, but the most valuable thing is that it activates melatonin in the cells, and the tan lays down smoother and faster!
I applied it for the last four days of vacation before going out into the sun, and on the plane, on the way home, I looked at my legs for the whole flight - the skin had acquired a bronze, slightly golden hue.
Price: about 700 rubles.
Hyaluronic moisturizing balm after the sun, prolonging tan Bronzeada, Librederm
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Daria Mironova
My fair skin is not easy to tan, so I fight to the end to preserve the chocolate shade. With this balm, I managed to prolong the days of happiness, and it also moisturized and restored the skin well immediately after the sea.
I liked the method of application very much - the balm lays down in a thin layer and is quickly absorbed.
Price: 450 rub.
Body cream with cocoa butter "Nutrition and hydration", Himalaya Herbals
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Anna Khobotova
Originally from the Himalayan foothills, the brand helped me salvage my sun-dried skin.
The cream with a dense consistency and a crazy aroma of chocolate quickly absorbed into the skin inflamed after sunbathing and soothed it by saturating it with moisture.
The main components of the product are water and cocoa butter, which perfectly moisturizes and preserves the youthfulness of the skin. Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, additionally protects it from the negative effects of the external environment - the sand breeze during an evening walk does not injure the skin. And the "chocolate" smell will save the figure from the cake at dinner.
Price: RUB 185
Body Lotion with Mango & Marula Butter, Dove
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Anna Khobotova
The Dove brand is loved for its generous oily formulation of lotions and creams. This lotion is a brand new product. Outwardly, it resembles a shower gel, but inside 250 ml of a moisturizing mix with a crazy mango scent - you immediately feel the "vacation" mood!
The lotion is very thick and is not immediately absorbed, the film remains for a couple of minutes. But then the skin takes on an infant look (even if it is sunburned), and moisture remains for several hours - what is needed at sea when the skin is irritated by the sun, salt water and wind.
Price: 350 rub.
After sun milk "Aloe and chamomile juice", Pure line
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Anna Khobotova
The composition of the milk is "pure", justifying the brand name. Aloe juice, which is rich in composition, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, further stimulating its rejuvenation.
Chamomile is also an important ingredient when it comes to the post-sun period - it will restore and soothe the skin after exposure to active sunlight.
I have not yet been able to visit the beach this season, but the product pleases me as a daily care in a sunny city (do you think that the sun is not active in the city? You are mistaken).
The product has a light texture that is quickly absorbed without leaving any stickiness, oily sheen or streaks on clothes. And the skin will thank you for the intense hydration.
Price: 295 rub.
Sun Spray Triple Action SPF 6, Clean Line
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Anna Khobotova
The texture of the product is similar to thick sunflower oil - from the first application it seems that it will not be absorbed into the skin at all. After distribution, you will have to wait 15-20 minutes, but the result is worth it!
The product has a light coconut scent that remains on the body after application. And the oil stays on the skin for several hours without overdrying the skin. Even after the shower, the moisturizing effect remains - the spray contains macadamia and cloudberry oils, as well as aloe and sea buckthorn extract.
The spray will not only protect you from the sun, but will also make your tan even and golden. The product has settled tightly in my cosmetic bag - the effect of a tanning bed without harm to the skin is guaranteed!
