holiday beauty essentials
BY LISAMARIE LAMB

Getting ready for your holiday is more than just making sure you’ve packed enough swimming
costumes and sandals. Your beauty regime is just as important for looking good when you’re away
from home as it is when you’re there, but it pays to do some research first – what might be perfect
for dull, drizzly British days may not work for the bright sunshine of the Caribbean or the Mediterranean.
And protecting your skin from the sun is essential too.
Check out these beach beauty products that will keep you looking cool and protected.

Peppermint Smoothing Pumice
Foot Scrub
Espa Naturally Radiant
Tinted Moisturiser
Foundation can be too heavy when it’s hot, so
a tinted moisturiser such as Espa Naturally Radiant
will work perfectly in its place (and if you’ve had
a late night before hitting the beach, it will work
as a concealer for dark rings as well). It comes
in a variety of shades to match your skin tone.
£32

Clinique SPF 30 Body Cream
Waterproof, moisturising, anti-ageing, and it
protects against UVB and UVA rays, this sun
cream has it all – and then some. It is gentle on
sensitive skin, but gives all-round ultimate
protection too, so you can use it without fear of
the sun damaging your skin. It feels and smells
great too!
£17.50

Compact Tangle Teezer
Despite all best intentions and efforts, even
protected holiday hair can become tangled, and
with added salt water, it can be a long, painful
road back to smoothness. So the Tangle Teezer
– a compact hairbrush (ideal for your carry-on
luggage) that is specifically designed to work out
tangles whilst keeping your hair in good condition
– is a quick and easy way to make even the worst
knots disappear.

Pommade Divine
Pommade Divine is a 300-year-old natural remedy
balm that can be traced back through history to
Marie Antoinette's great grandmother. A musthave for travel and the bathroom cabinet, it
soothes everything from bumps and bruises to
grazes, blisters, sunburn and insect bites. It's
also great on dry lips and cuticles!

Our feet get a lot of airtime on holiday so wouldn’t
,
it be a bonus if they looked their best when they
are out in the open? Peppermint Smoothing
Pumice Foot Scrub from The Body Shop uses
exfoliating volcanic rock granules to remove
patches of rough, hard skin, leaving you with soft
and supple feet that smell good too.

Sephora Cooling Mint
Blotting Papers
In a holiday climate, blotting papers are a great
way to remove the shine that often appears on
your face, without removing the makeup or
moisturiser as well. But not only are these Sephora
Cooling Mint Blotting Papers superb at taking off
the shine, they’ll also cool you down nicely as
they are infused with soothing, cooling ingredients
that are good for your skin.
