Beauty: Summer skin overhaul!
These great new products will leave your body soft and gleaming
MOISTURISE a Parched Complexion
Summer heat may leave your skin thirstier than ever, but this lighter gel formula is the ticket to hydration. Full of moisture-gripping hyaluronic acid and vitamin beads that burst on application, you’ll really notice a difference – especially if you apply on damp skin morning and night. Just leave it on a few minutes before applying your make-up to allow skin to hoover up the goodness.
Fake A beach Glow
Most of us are missing the holiday perk of sun-kissed skin, but this year, fake it until you make it. Use a loofah in the shower for minimaleffort exfoliation, and apply St Moriz Tanning Moisturiser with a mitt every other day. It combines soothing aloe vera and nourishing vitamin E to give your entire body a revitalising glow. Mix one part highlighting cream with one part moisturiser to amp up the radiance – dab along cheekbones and collarbone with a make-up sponge, and press into your cupid’s bow for the ultimate Ibiza cheat.
Refresh all over
Try this moodboosting citrus body smoothie, complete with AHA (alpha hydroxy acid serum). For anyone who’s not familiar with this power-house ingredient, it’s the equivalent of a good surface cleanser. It wipes out the dead cells on the top layer of skin to reveal fresh ones beneath. Apply top to toe before bed, and shower in the morning to reveal glowing skin before you set off on your stay-cay.
Soothe neglected areas
Ready to wear lipstick again? Rebooted your monthly manicure? It’s time to soothe the rough patches we neglected in hibernation. Leighton Denny’s all-areas balm is packed with oils to restore dry cuticles, elbows, knees, and even lips! Pop this in your bag or on your WFH desk and apply twice-daily for noticeable results. A gentle lip scrub before lipstick application will work wonders – and this one’s a handbag hero.
