Catch of the day: Suncare

What: La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL SPF 50+ Ultra-light Spray

Why: With my sensitive skin, I like to apply a SPF 50+ sunscreen. Alas, most SPF 50+ sunscreens are sticky and leave white marks. Not this one. Formulation-wise, this one is perfection. Super light AND high protection. Because tomato red skin is not a good look.

Green Factor: Unfortunately not. Please, please leave your comment if you know a natural sunscreen which is light and has high protection. Much appreciated!

Where: Falken Apotheke, Lucerne (CH)

Also available in: many other pharmacies

Catch of the day: Body Lotion

Categories: BEAUTY, BODY

What: Lavera Revitalising Body Lotion Organic Orange & Seabuckthorn

Why: My dry skin cannot live without a daily dose of body lotion. I love the smell of anything citrus fruity and was in search of an organic alternative to my beloved Body Shop satsuma body cream. This one comes pretty close.

Green Factor: All natural and organic

Catch of the day: Setting Mist

Categories: BEAUTY, FACE

What: Supergoop Setting Mist with Rosemary SPF 50

Why: I don’t always like to apply sunscreen, but I want to be protected at all times. This refreshing setting mist with SPF 50 is the solution. I just spray it on as a finishing touch to my make-up in the morning. Great stuff!

Green Factor: May contain palm oil, but apart from that, there is nothing irritating in this super product.

Where: Sephora, The Maine Mall, Portland (USA)

Also available on: If I only knew!

Catch of the day: After sun

Categories: BEAUTY, BODY, FACE

What: Ligne St Barth Aloe Vera Gel with Mint

Why: Such a luxurious after sun/after shave which melts into my skin instantly, leaving it *so* refreshed and soothed. It’s like a spa at home.

Green Factor: Nah, unfortunately not completely – contains silicone oil. I wish they’d change that! Apart from that: nothing to complain about.

Where: Art Deco Hotel Montana, Lucerne (CH)

Also available: Look for spas that use Ligne St Barth products

Catch of the day: Face Mist

Categories: BEAUTY, FACE

What: Kiehl’s Cactus Flower & Tibetan Ginseng Hydrating Mist

Why: I like having a moisturising face mist at hand in winter time when my skin needs a little pick-me-up during the day. Do I need it? Nope. But it’s still a nice feeling when I spray it on.

Green Factor: Kiehl’s is not an organic brand, but this face mist has no questionable ingredients.

Where: Globus, Lucerne (CH)

Also available: Kiehl’s stores worldwide

Catch of the day: Face, Body and Haircare Oil

Categories: BEAUTY, BODY, FACE, HAIR

What: Ligne St Barth Avocado Oil

Why: This is such a luxurious oil that just melts into my skin, leaving it soft and radiant. Smells super. This is probably my hundredth bottle already. Seriously addicted. Be warned.

Green Factor: All natural!

Catch of the day: Nail care

Categories: BEAUTY, NAILS

What: Nailsinc Overnight Detox Mask

Why: My usually brittle nails have never looked healthier and stronger since I use this overnight detox mask with many antioxidants and vitamins. Plus it smells super nice!

Green Factor: Unfortunately not – but since it’s for the nails, and not soaking into my skin, I can make an excuse – until I find a greener alternative.

Catch of the day: Face Mask

Categories: BEAUTY, FACE

What: Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask

Why: I got to know the power of the antibacterial manuka honey when travelling in New Zealand. So, when I heard about a manuka honey face mask, I had to try it. Intensely moisturising, cleansing, antioxidising *and* it’s organic *and* it smells amazing. Will definitely buy again!

Catch of the day: Booster

Categories: BEAUTY, FACE

What: Clarins Booster Energy

Why: Skin revitalisation for sleep deprived new mums – just mix a few drops with any face cream. Love it!

Green Factor: Clarins is not a natural cosmetic brand, hence I don’t usually use their products. Its boosters have no scary ingredients, though, so I love mixing a few drops into my usual face cream after a sleepless night.

Where: Marionnaud Pilatusstrasse, Lucerne (CH)

Also available: in pretty much every perfumerie
