VACATION'S NEWEST LAUNCH DELIVERS SKINCARE, SUNSCREEN AND A BRONZED GLOW IN JUST A FEW DROPS

The brand just dropped three new products, including the milky sunscreen of your dreams.

Vacation is the best. The act of going on vacation, sure, but also the brand Vacation. From their retro packaging to their ingenious formulas, they're the company I turn to every time I need sun protection and a mood-booster. The "leisure-enhancing" label has everything and then some, including the once-upon-a-time-thought-to-be-gone-forever Orange Gelée Tanning Gel, which they revived after it was pulled from shelves in 2019.

Now, they're giving the face some time in the spotlight/sunshine. Before you head off on summer vacation, Vacation is launching three new facial SPF products under the (beach) umbrella of FACE by Vacation: Shake Shake SPF 50 Mineral Milk ($29), Super Stick SPF 45 Face Stick ($24), and Studio Tone SPF 50 3-In-1 Bronzing Drops ($29) are set to arrive April 11.

Ahead, get all the details on the new, warm-weather-ready trilogy.

The Inspiration

Vacation's decision to focus on the face was made after they launched their first facial SPF product, Super Spritz SPF 50 ($24), last spring. Easy to travel with and even easier to use, the sun-protecting spray quickly became a fan favorite.

"The customer response to a face-specific product was so robust, that this season Vacation will introduce FACE by Vacation: three brand new, 'leisure-enhancing' SPF innovations meticulously designed to protect your face—and provide skin-loving benefits in the process," shared the brand.

The Formulas

All products in the FACE by Vacation trilogy feature their own unique formula. The biggest similarity between them (besides some skin-loving ingredients)? They protect your precious face.

Let's start with Shake Shake, which Vacation has called “the new way to mineral." Differentiating itself from chalky, pilling mineral sunscreens of yore, Shake Shake features "shakerball" packaging and something they call ZincWater, a non-nano, trademarked zinc formula that allows the liquid product to stay thin and milky, gliding onto the face like your very favorite moisturizer. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, it also blends smoothly on all skin tones with no dreaded white cast.

Key ingredients include the hydrating duo of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, skin barrier-strengthening ceramides and collagen peptides, calming and smoothing cucumber, white tea, and aloe vera, and replenishing vitamin E. And that fabulous ZincWater, of course.

Next on the lineup is Super Stick, Super Spritz's solid-format cousin. (It's kind of giving the extended family member that's so different yet so similar to you, who you see every year on the Fourth of July. You always have a ball.)

"This convenient face sunscreen stick is designed for daily use and precision application," shares the brand. "Stick sunscreens can be a polarizing format in the sunscreen category, but this nourishing formula is decidedly non-waxy, and better yet is infused with innovative Water Break technology for a delightfully cooling, tug-free glide."

Clear, smooth, and quick to apply, it also features hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide, white tea, vitamin E, and aloe vera—plus some banana and coconut to combat the sun's drying ways.

Last but certainly not least arrives my personal favorite Vacation product (and packaging) to date: Studio Tone. With SPF 50, this little bottle of serum-like wonder was created to give you a sun-kissed look without the sun damage. You can wear the drops under makeup or alone for an instant boost of bronzing via natural mineral pigments and ingredients like ferulic acid, ceramides, and vitamin C.

FACE by Vacation will make its official debut on April 11 on www.vacation.inc and at Ulta Beauty. Is your beach bag/shopping cart packed yet? This is going to be a trip.
