The UK has been hotter than some parts of the Mediterranean in recent weeks, which means it’s time to ditch the jumpers and coats and bring out the summer dresses, sandals and sunnies. It’s also the perfect reason to switch up your skincare and beauty regime.
Pack away the heavy creams and face masks – our skin has different needs as the season change. If you don’t know where to start, here’s our round-up of the perfect skincare products to keep your skin glowing throughout summer!
Perricone MD are the leaders in specialist, high-end skincare. This powerful anti-aging moisturiser with SPF30 is luxurious yet light, providing intense moisturisation whilst also protecting skin from age accelerating UVA and UVB damage with a non-chemical mineral sunscreen. It should be applied liberally as the final step in your morning skincare regime. We all need to top up our sun protection throughout the day, but suncream can feel greasy on your face and smudge existing makeup – not very glamorous. This Sun Visor from Goldfaden MD is a light mist, meaning that whenever you want reapply sun protection to your face, all you need to do is spritz evenly for light yet effective coverage. It’s oil-free and fast absorbing, meaning that you’re not left with that heavy, sticky feeling that some sun creams cause. Warm weather can mean that lips become dry quickly. The iconic Reve De Miel lip balm from Nuxe turns 20 this year, and they’ve released a series of limited edition pots to celebrate, which means there’s never been a better time to pick one up. The repairing, nourishing formula is just rich enough to restore suppleness to lips and keep them soft throughout the day. Whether you’re on holiday in exotic climes, exploring a European city or just making the best of the sun here in good old Blighty, the warm weather brings us all outdoors. More activity and intense heat can make legs and feet feel tired. Give them some serious TLC with this luxurious, organic leg and foot balm from Spiezia. Infused with peppermint and lavender, it’s both relaxing and enriching for tired limbs. Simply massage in to calves and soles of the feet, and let the formulation improve circulation and cool you down. After a long, cold winter, you’d be forgiven for having less than sun-kissed skin. To get your glow back, try this luxurious tanning oil for face and hair from Thalgo, the leaders in marine skincare. As well as providing UVA and UVB protection, this spray is concentrated with anti-aging properties to ensure a perfect tan and youthful, glowing skin. During the summer, we all have a little more skin on show. Make sure your body is summer ready by buffing it to perfection with this decadent body scrub from natural skincare favourite, Yes To. In addition to its effective scrubbing properties, it contains wonder ingredient, Coconut Oil, which helps to keep skin moisturised at the same time. Apply while showering to elbows, knees, ankles and anywhere else you get pesky dry patches and you’ll have smooth, glowing skin in no time. Also – did we mention it smells divine?
