Beauty | Get Ready for Summer with Marks & Spencer
Getting ready for Summer involves having new razors on tap, or your waxing lady on speed dial. It requires body scrubs, and fresh shower gels, delicate fragrances and whipped creams. Our exercise routines are turned up a notch, sun cream stocked up. So many beauty products are needed and all just for one season.
During the Summer months, I tend to shower a lot more frequently, most days I will have a shower morning and night. I just really dislike feeling hot and sticky and like to feel fresh you know? I have shower gels coming out of my ears for this very reason. I love ones that have a pleasant smell, but also are super moisturising. Having always been a fan of the Nuxe Huile Prodigieux Body Oil, another Summer staple for those of you who like multi-use oils, I knew I would love the Nuxe Prodigieux Shower Oil*. This has the very same fragrance, and being an oil it feels much more hydrating and nourishing to that of a standard gel. I like to use this one when I simply don’t have time to moisturise afterwards as it leaves a gorgeous satin finish on the skin, no dry patches whatsoever. It really is a joy to use and definitely gets me in the Summer mood.
When I do have time to properly pamper myself, I treat my body as I would my face, with a full routine. So I will firstly cleanse with something like the Rituals Hammam Delight Foaming Shower Gel*, which has a really refreshing fragrance containing Rosemary and Eucalyptus. It is vital to regularly exfoliate your body, especially if you want smooth, firm legs to show off. The Rituals Hammam Hot Scrub Sea Salt Body Scrub* is an absolute treat to use, and this again feels really nourishing as well as giving my body an effective, yet gentle, scrub. I swear by body scrubs and exfoliating mitts, they are a huge part of my Summer Body Ready routine.
Once cleansed and exfoliated, I will follow up with a body cream to lock in vital hydration. The set that I have from Rituals also includes a whipped body cream. This is just the right texture, not too heavy and not too light and the smell really reminds me of holidays.
It’s not just your body however that needs to be looked after, the sun in the Summer months can dry out your hair and UV rays can actually damage hair follicles if exposed for long periods of time. It is highly doubtful that your hair will suffer in England, but to ensure your hair is in tip top condition it is important to use a good heat protectant. I am a huge fan of the Percy and Reed Wonder Balm*, as it is a great multi use product. You can prime and prep your hair with this, as well as using it as a finishing balm.
