It’s August, which means it’s officially vacation time. Whether you’re on a superyacht in the Mediterranean or checking into one of Elite Traveler’s Top 100 Suites, we have the perfect beauty picks for you.
With humidity levels hovering above 50% nearly every day, weatherproofing your hair can be next to impossible. After a Brazilian Blowout from Julien Farel Restore Salon & Spa, your daily battle is over. In a room with special ventilation, a specialist washes your hair with a clarifying shampoo then applies the product. After 10 minutes, they will blow dry and flat iron your hair. In a little over an hour, your hair is straight and maintenance free for up to four months. Be sure to use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to keep the frizz-free style for as long as possible. If super-straight hair isn’t what you are looking for, try the De-Frizz Quick Treatment, which uses a proprietary formula to keep the curl but remove frizz.

It’s tempting to pare your beauty routine down to the bare essentials during summer, and La Prairie’s Cellular Ice Crystal Transforming Cream Sunscreen pulls more than its weight without sacrificing quality. A moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen that provides sheer coverage to balance skin tone, it’s one of La Prairie’s newest innovations. Use the exclusive brush for an even more airbrushed finish.
