Elif Gedik knows what summer should feel like on the skin. As the founder of the swimwear label DALGA Swim, she creates comfortable, gorgeous styles in and around the water. But Elif also has the right instinct when it comes to make-up and skincare. Here she tells us which Sisley products are her reliable companions this summer.
When the sun kisses you, it’s like a real make-out session: your make-up smudges and needs an update. That’s why, in addition to sunglasses and a fan, you should always have a well-stocked make-up case in your bag when you head to the bistro by the lake for a Cynar Spritz.
But before you even put your toes in your sandals and your sandals out the door: sun protection is also the most important summer hit this year. Take Sunleÿa Soin Solaire Anti-Âge SPF50+ from Sisley, for example. The lotion combines a sun protection factor of 50 with extracts of edelweiss, lily of the valley and witch hazel leaf to reduce the signs of ageing caused by the sun.
Creamed up? Excellent. Then let’s continue with Elif Gedik’s personal summer favorites, which she has put together exclusively for FACES:
I chose my favorites from Sisley very carefully. They fit perfectly into my summer routine and, for me, combine effect, texture and that certain luxurious feeling on the skin.
Super Soin Autobronzant Hydratant Corps is an absolute summer must-have for me! I love the natural, even glow. Especially on days when I don’t wear make-up but still want to look fresh. My tip: I sometimes mix it with my day cream for a particularly soft result.
Color Cloud
I love this all-rounder! Products that can be applied quickly with the fingers are my salvation in summer, especially when I’m on the go.
Phyto-Touche Illusion d’Été
My summer highlight! The bronzer blends so beautifully with the skin and immediately gives that sun-kissed look. I also like to apply it to the eyelid – for a quick, harmonious summer make-up look.
Suitable for sensitive skin
As someone with rather sensitive skin, I particularly appreciate that Sisley products are so well tolerated – I can rely on the quality, even in the heat or after a long day in the sun.
