Cool Looks for Hot Days: Davines
After-sun hair- and body-care is a cinch with Davines.
Sunshine, salt, sweat and chlorine—the stuff of summer can subject our skin and hair to a major beating. But we’re fighting back, with the help of a little something from our friends at Davines.
But before we reveal our new secret weapon, let’s take a moment to consider Davines’ beauty philosophy. As the company notes, “The word ‘cosmetics’ comes from ‘Kosmos,’ which means ‘the correct order of things’ in ancient Greek.” For Davines, the correct order of things means a balance between beauty, individuality and responsibility to each other and to our planet.
The company runs its operation on 100 percent renewable energy, adheres to a 100 percent carbon-neutral policy and uses only sustainably sourced, natural ingredients in its hair care products. We encourage ecoistas to visit Davines online for information on its global eco-initiatives and ethics philosophy.
But we digress: Enter Davines SU Replenishing Hair & Body After Sun Wash. Convenience-freaks that we are, we’re crazy about this double-duty gel, which packs in apricot oil and rice proteins to protect and moisturize our hair, scalp and après-sun bod during washing. And the addition of hydrating fatty acids that adhere to the hair—even after rinsing—create long-lasting protection for our beach-battered tresses. Plus, it leaves our skin feeling silky and preserves that precious tan, long after we’ve said sayonara to the summer sun.
