WHEN CONTEMPLATING YOUR HOLIDAY PACKING,

make some extra wiggle room for Sol de Janeiro Ipanema Sunset Glow Oil (€39.50, cultbeauty.co.uk). Inspired by the glossy, tanned bodies that line Brazilian beaches, it does all manner of brilliant things for pale skin and smells like a tropical island. I’ve hastily swiped this oil down my shins before racing out to a wedding and mixed it into a BB cream to rescue dull, tired skin. I’ve even applied it along my lips in place of balm, only to discover that it leaves them with a pretty nude sheen. It might look scarily shimmery from the outside, but it’s saved my beauty bacon several times.
