Everyone needs a spot of TLC and pampering
every so often, and if you combine this with your
summer prep then what could be better? Start
by trying some simple everyday routine changes
for your body.
Firstly, The Body Shop’s
Body Polish, available in
either Satsuma or
Strawberry. Retailing at just
£5 you won’t get too upset
if someone steals your
shower gel! This gentle daily
exfoliant buffs away dead
skin cells whilst smelling
good enough to eat. Bonus.

Remember once you have your
exfoliation routine sorted, check out
page 81 for our fake tan tips to get
that holiday glow without the air miles!
Not everyone uses an
SPF lotion throughout
the winter, but it
should be your go-to
beauty essential,
especially in the
summer. The sun is
still there even if it’s
hiding behind a few
clouds so this Piz Buin
Allergy Lotion SPF 30
(available in a range of
SPFs, £6.75) is perfect
for everyday use as
well as being water
resistant and kind to
sensitive skin.

A good moisturiser goes a long way, and that
baby soft skin can have you not only looking, but
feeling great. St. Tropez’s Everyday Gradual
Tan Body, available in either light/medium or
FACE
Your face will thank you in
the long run if you look after
it now, so try Dermalogica’s
Daily Microfoliant (£41) this
summer. This rice-based
exfoliator with sylicylic acid
will dissolve dead skin cells
and polish your skin. Just
apply the plant-based
microfoliant daily in circular
motions over your face and
wash off.

After a day soaking up
the sun’s rays, your skin
may need a bit of
attention. This Burt’s
Bees Aloe and Linden
Flowers Aftersun
Soother will work a treat
on sun-damaged skin.
Retailing at £10.75 this
product is hydrating and
quick absorbing.

There has been a long raging war between an
effective sunscreen and the shine it can leave
behind. Team this with the hot weather and for
some, shine is all they see – but not the healthy
‘summer glow’ they were after. Thankfully, Vichy
has bought out a product to combat our shine
woes. The Normaderm Total Mat (£13) goes
that little bit further than your regular matifying
powder using blotting technology to combat
shine, sweat and sebum for both men and
women.

Lastly, if your
skin needs a
little brightening
‘pick me up’
look no further
than Lush. You
can’t miss their
stores – the
aroma floats
down the
street, enticing
you in. With
their products never tested on animals and made
with natural vegetarian ingredients, these fragrant
goodies compliment your skin’s natural balance.
The Ayesha Fresh Face Mask (£6.25) is perfect
for giving your skin a youthful radiance, packed
full of honey, fresh asparagus (high in nutrients),
kiwi fruit (a cleansing and brightening agent),
witch hazel, and rosemary oil (a relaxing antiseptic).
It also has an ingredient called Fullers Earth – a
natural absorbing and cleansing agent.
