Here's some tips to ensure you're ready for the beach
I am seriously fed up of Arctic April so am jetting off to the sunnier climes of Lanzarote at the end of the week. As well as loading up my Kindle, packing my bikini and buying a fab new bag, I’ve also been checking out the best products around to ensure I am beach ready as soon as I step off the plane.
Body Buffer, from the Harley Street Skin Care Silver Range, contains anti-ageing minerals, orange seed oil and glycolic acid. It exfoliates and moisturises to give your skin a new lease of life that is ready for the beach.
Once your skin is up to scratch but lacking colour, go for a natural-looking streak free tan with St Tropez. Containing their salon-inspired Bronzing Lotion, Body Polish, Body Moisturiser, gloves and a mitt, the complete Bronzing Lotion Set has everything you need to maintain an even, natural-looking, deep bronzed glow.
Skin can react to SPF creams but KALME Undercoat contains Skinasensyl and can help prevent rashes and breakouts that can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. This cream is suitable for adults and children and simply pop on 15 minutes before your sun cream and you will be ready to go.
To help repair and protect your hair whilst you are away, the Naked Rescue Shampoo and Conditioner and Little Miracle Leave-in Conditioner with argan oil and shea butter are a winning combination and will ensure you have glossy locks all holiday long.
With a fresh, clean scent, Mosi-guard Natural keeps bugs away for up to eight hours and is free from DEET, a synthetic chemical used widely in repellents. From sticks and roll-ons, to sprays and creams, Mosi-guard Natural is suitable for all the family.
Every time I wear this mascara someone asks if I'm wearing lash extensions. Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara makes your lashes 4mm longer so they look full and striking and as it is waterproof this is a wonder product that really does what it says on the box.
A holiday isn’t a holiday without a little romance but there's no chance of it if you don't take care of your lips. Laura Mercier HydraTint SPF15 is a multi-purpose balm combining long-lasting moisture, SPF protection and sheer natural colour for perfect flawless lips.
When I hit the beach I will be reaching for PIZ BUIN® WET SKIN Transparent Sun Spray which doesn’t mix with water on the skin but cuts directly through it. Thanks to the “golden ratio” between UV filters, oil and alcohol, it forms a barrier between the formula and the water droplets so it won’t slide off or compromise protection.
After a day on the beach, Clarins After Sun Replenishing Moisture Care for Face & Decollete is a must have. The anti-ager ingredients replenish and soothe skin and repair UV damage. Used daily either underneath makeup or by itself, your skin will look fresher, more radiant and your tan will last longer.
Nothing shouts; "I'm on holiday" more, than perfect polish on fingers and toes! Glossfinity Nail Polish gives you a professional manicured look that lasts for up to seven days and gives you a pop of Cute Coral or Disco Pink that will make you beach ready in seconds.
A holiday wouldn’t be a holiday if you didn’t take Daisy Eau So Fresh Sunshine Edition by Marc Jacobs. Blending spring blossoms with a velvety base of blushing apricot skin and musky woods, this eau de toilette is a lush, sun-kissed limited edition interpretation of the original fragrance that is perfect for balmy nights and romance.
Finally, make sure you stay fuzz-free with the Wilkinson Sword Hydro Silk™ Razor. The water-activated moisturising serum is infused with marine extracts and shea butter and a 5 curve-sensing blade adapts to the contours of your body to give you an incredibly close shave which means you won’t notice any ‘missed bits' when you're out in the sun!
