You want… a bronzed glow

FAKE IT WITH COCOA POWDER! That brown powder works just as well on your cheeks as it does making hot chocolate! Use a big brush and tap off the excess before dabbing onto your face. Less is more!

10 You're prone to... polish overspills PREVENT THEM WITH LIP BALM

Fed up of varnish spilling onto your skin? Lip balm creates a protective barrier, saving your skin from polish stains.

11 You have… hot and bothered skin COOL DOWN WITH MINT

Sure, it freshens breath, but mint is a natural astringent, antibacter­ial and contains salicylic acid, making it an ideal ingredient to soothe and mattify a hot complexion. Pop a handful of leaves in a water bottle and chill for a few hours. Then spritz over your face in times of need.

12 You have… a dry complexion MOISTURISE WITH APRICOTS

Loaded with fruit acids and vitamin C, blitz 2 apricots (peel and de-stone first) with 1tbsp plain yoghurt before applying to your face for 10 mins. Rinse well.

13 You want… a homemade lip tint

ADD COLOUR WITH BEETROOT This stains, so put it to good use! Peel and chop 1 beetroot, blend with 4tsp olive oil and 2tsp honey and dab on lips (wash your hands afterwards!).

14 You suffer from... spots

PAT ON PINK GRAPEFRUIT Summer sweats got to you? Grapefruit helps to clear toxins from skin and minimise pores, helping to regulate oil production. Take the juice of ½ a pink grapefruit and mix with equal parts water. Soak a cotton pad in it and sweep across your face, then rinse with water.

15 You have… bad breath CHEW SOME CELERY

Mint might be your go-to freshener but celery helps neutralise odour in your mouth, while the act of chewing helps scrape bacteria off your tongue and teeth, so tuck in!
