Summer Body Skin

Salty, sun dried locks, whilst a favourite of ours, often require a little extra TLC in between beach sessions, which is why we reach for Chloe Zara’s Hair Creme (apply before blow drying for smooth and strong hair) or Silk Hair Balm (apply as a mask to hair after washing for 10-15 minutes) to add that extra nourishment over summer.

You might also be keen to try “hair slugging” a la Tik Tok for a more intense overnight or WFH day hair treatment. After washing and conditioning your hair, generously apply an oil to hair from root to top, combing it through and then wrapping up in a light cotton wrap or old t-shirt (regular towels are often too heavy and can lead to hair breakage). We love San Ceuticals Activator 7 Hair, Body & Face Oil (may as well apply to your whole body while you’re at it…. See Step 6 below)

Leave on overnight or for a dedicated period of time, minimum 30 minutes before shampooing out. You may need a double application of shampoo to remove the residue (shop here for FENN Hair care) style and dry as per your normal routine.

It would be remiss of us not to remind you to remember your SPF for at very least your face and décolletage, bonus points for applying to your limbs, especially on sunnier days. Click here to read our deep dive on SPF and shop our top sunscreen products.

With the forecast return of La Nina, we may need some help with our sun kissed skin looks to create that natural glow.

Luckily the “sunburn blush” look is also trending on social media so you can tap into a demo video for inspiration with ease. Essentially this trend involves a pinky-red or coral cheek or lip tint across your cheeks and nose, making it look like you’ve stepped off the beach after a day in the sun.

Maryse’s Mineral Tints are perfect for this and come in three colour ways; Dahlia, Hyacinth and Apricot. Click here to check which tint works best for you.

For this trend, application is key. Spread pigment along your cheeks and nose, giving them equal colour. Remember: You want to look slightly sun kissed, not like you didn’t apply sunscreen.

Entice summer into existence with perfumes that transport you to summer’s past - we are loving the Roemy range of clean, natural perfumes. Their Resort and Halcyon blends are literally bottled summers.

For freshness on the go we always have Primary Elements Natural Deodorant in our bags, Primary Elements deodorant uses magnesium chloride and zinc to inhibit and neutralise odour, whilst supporting your body's natural ability to eliminate toxins through this area. Enriched with a blend of seven active essential oils; it also smells like summer in a bottle; with notes of jasmine, coriander, tangerine, cinnamon and sandalwood.

Keep hands and feet in top condition with Bare Hands manicure and pedicure kits, perfect travel companions for holiday touch ups or for a natural nail look to give your nails a break from polish.

We’ve loved the “nail slugging” trend, an old hand care technique that has been given new life. We recommend generously applying a clean, natural oil such as Maryse’s Omega Treatment Oil, massaged into fingers nails and cuticles and toenails and cuticles of an evening or before bed. Whilst devotees swear by then applying cotton socks and gloves after oiling up, we believe you can experience the benefits without them, just allow for oil to be absorbed before you slip into the sheets.

Extra time in the sun and water with extra skin on show means having nourished, smooth skin is a must. The skin on our bodies can handle larger-molecule lipids and often benefits from a dense application as most people aren’t applying a body moisturiser daily (10 points if you do!) We always reach for San Ceuticals Barrier Restore Body and Hand Butter or Maryse’s Multi Vitamin Body Oil.

For a bronzed glow instead of a fake tan we love to apply Emma Lewisham’s Illuminating Radiant Face and Body Oil, the perfect product for lazy girl summer beauty. Or add a drop of Mother of Pearl to your favourite sunscreen for a sun kissed look, without the white cast.
