Summer beauty essentials


Summer is supposed to be a relaxing time of year, but as illustrated in last week’s post, it can be kind of crazy – for your body and beauty regime, that is. These products will relieve the stress and get you back to your zen (composed, groomed, gorgeous yoga-ite) self.

FOR THE FACE

Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder is a skin- and life-saver! Applied directly to problem areas, it can soak up excess oil, clear up blemishes and quickly dry up, disinfect and heal erupted pimples, and when mixed with loose powder or mineral foundation will help make up stay put all day (or night). It conceals redness and calms irritated areas, and is a great product to apply pre-party to ensure you’re shine-free and photo-ready! Plus, a sneaky tip: apply all over the face after cleansing for general coverage and with a Q-tip as a concealer, and you’ve got yourself a matte, perfect, yet no-fuss and no-make up look for the beach!


FOR THE HAIR

Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Mist. Hair tends to frizz in the summer, and this spray is the most lightweight one around to keep hair smooth and shiny.


FOR THE BODY

Coconut oil is a magical multitasker, and should be your new secret weapon! Brilliant in summer to give arms & legs a nice sheen, it also moisturises sun-kissed skin, is an intensive hair conditioner to use after swimming, and best of all, it smells like summer!
