Summer is officially here and what a wonderful feeling it is – bring on warm weather, beach days and Christmas holidays! Here are Live Eco’s eco must-haves for summer:
Natural sunscreen
In a country like South Africa, it is important to protect your skin from the suns vicious rays. Buy natural as this is safer for your skin and kinder to environment, great brands include Badger and Sunumbra (use mineral Zinc Oxide).
Retro sunnies
Protecting your eyes is key, so don’t scrimp here. And what better way to spy on boys in secret? Retro sunnies are super in vogue – they shout class and quirk at the same time. A great Cape Town store to find vintage inspired beauties is Church Streets Babette otherwise check out our best second-hand shops here.
Lip balm
Keep lips lush and ready for summer flings! The Body Shop’s Born Lippy range are simply scrumptious and come in a variety of fruity flavours such as Satsuma, Watermelon and Passionberry. Plus – all made from Zambian Community Trade beeswax! There’s never been a better way to beat chapped lips.
Swim costume
The perfect fashion piece to flaunt what you’ve got. Whether it’s tanning or swimming you’re after, try one in a 50’s inspired style – high-waisted or full piece. Makes us think of Marilyn Monroe and Burlesque dancers. Are you as much in love with this nostalgic trend as Live Eco?
Spring water
Stay hydrated this summer with Valpre. Their new PlantBottle, made partially from plant plastic, is all about being chic and green at the same time. Chuck a bottle or two in your handbag to keep the thirst away all day.
