Summer is the time of year that everyone waits for, because life in the heat is suddenly easier, breezier, and all round more fun. Thing is, summer demands different things of you and your beauty regime, than the 8 months of harsh freezing winter that precede it.
This being the case, here’s a summary of the top prods to help you keep your cool (pun intended) whether you’re hanging out in Halkidiki or mopping your brow on the tube.
Though British summer is flailing, holiday season is still upon us. Poppy G spills on the best beauty buys to keep you looking cool.
Spritz the famous Eau Thermale on your face and body throughout the heady heat of summer to remain stylish and sweat-free. Smells refreshing and helps make-up look dewy as an added plus.
The ultimate in smelling like holiday scents. Notes of cocoa, corsican flowers and warm mediterranean air.
Spritz into hair to create a barrier against sun and chlorine damage.
Keep hands soft whilst warding off the dreaded dark age spots.
Oh dear, overdone it in the rays have we? Put this in the fridge for a bit then lather on generously. Works wonders.
Because it’s just too hot for anything thick and greasy really.
Sheer colour which looks good when smudged, cue lots of happy make-up accidents.
