Beauty Besties for Your Honeymoon
With the warmer months first approaching and the first summer free of Covid restrictions right around the corner, holidays and honeymoons are ON, and we're already thinking about our travel beauty stash.
If you're visiting sunnier climates on your honeymoon, this is an essential in your suitcase.
Perfect for daily use, the Aloe Soothing Sun Cream works to protect the skin from UV and environmental aggressors whilst simultaneously deeply hydrating. Lightweight enough to feel like a moisturiser, the sunscreen is easily and quickly absorbed by the skin, without feeling greasy or leaving that white cast we all dread seeing in our holiday snaps.

Inform your next beauty purchase; what allergens are in your skincare?

Food and fragrance allergens and other irritants in these products can cause dryness, breakouts or painful redness.
Oodee is the first Allergen Neutral skincare company and is making it their mission to supply all the information you need on choosing which skincare products could be right for you, in one place.
