BEAUTY THAT WORKS

 There can be few better places from which to contemplate life than a warm bath. Mine are currently laced with Soapsmith Bath Soak in Lavender Hill, £25, rich in, you’ve guessed, aromatic lavender, and the prettiest jasmine. The beautifully scented handmade shea and coconut butter soaps are a delight, too, £10 each.

 Puffy eyes? Hot and bothered skin? Keep Fraîcheur Ice Globes in the freezer and use them to massage as needed. £44.99 for a set of two.

 If you have a tan, you want it to last (I won’t go on about the only safe tan being a fake one). Cue Lancaster Golden Tan Maximiser After Sun Oil, £24, and After Sun Serum for the face, £24, two new additions to the brilliant tan-extending range. As glow-prolongers, they are the best I’ve used.
