Dua and Callum's Romantic Sicilian Escape Features Yacht Selfies, Valentino, and This Hydrating SPF.
Is anyone else experiencing a bit of wanderlust through Dua Lipa's Italian vacation? The pop star has consistently set vacation standards high—from her radiant sun-kissed look to her beautiful resort attire—traveling across Italy this summer with her (officially confirmed!) fiancé, Callum Turner. Absolutely vacation goals. The couple was last seen in Palermo, Sicily, where Lipa showcased snippets of their trip on Instagram. Highlights included cannoli, numerous yacht selfies (naturally), an embroidered Valentino shoulder bag, a black string bikini (goodbye, bandeaus), and the beloved hydrating sunscreen that has many editors raving—including me.
As evidenced by the photo above, Lipa has been using Augustinus Bader's The Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 during her European adventures. Priced at $140, it's on the expensive side, but it features the brand’s patented TFC8 technology that aids cellular renewal, along with a micro-algae extract for combating fine lines and wrinkles, and cottonseed extract for shielding against photoaging. This product isn’t just a sunscreen; it's a rich, skin-plumping moisturizer combined with SPF 50. I often apply it as my only moisturizer in the summer—and my skin appreciates it.
Many shoppers share my perspective. One Sephora reviewer noted, "This sunscreen is so nourishing and moisturizing that I can skip my usual moisturizer before putting this on, which justifies the cost in my opinion. I love it! It keeps my skin feeling plump and fresh all day long. It works great under makeup. 5 stars, no complaints."

The Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Keep in mind, if you have oily skin and prefer a matte finish, this may not be the sunscreen for you. It offers a dewy, glowing finish, making it ideal for achieving a lovely, sun-kissed (albeit faux) look. Makeup artists frequently use Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream before applying foundation and concealer, as it creates a plump and even base. This formula contains similar ingredients, particularly TFC8, making it essentially the sunscreen equivalent of that preparatory step.
Another point to note: This mineral sunscreen contains zinc oxide, which means it can leave a slight white cast upon initial application. It requires a bit more rubbing to fully absorb, even on my fair skin; that said, it’s good to be aware of this before investing in the premium SPF.

This isn't Lipa's first promotion of the high-end skincare brand. You can spot Augustinus Bader products in her past Instagram posts, and she always carries the brand's eye patches with her. "I can't live without them," she once mentioned in a Vogue video. "This is super important, especially with all my travels." We can assume she's taken them with her to Italy, along with the sought-after sunscreen.
