Summer Survival Guide
Summer Survival Guide

Here's five ways to look and feel your best all summer long - whether you're at home or abroad.

Beat The Heat

When it's hot outside, it can be hard to look fresh and stay cool. A floppy sunhat and a good pair of sunglasses will help, but to look radiant all day long, follow our advice...

  • Begin the day by cleansing with a shampoo and shower gel containing tea tree or peppermint, which will rev up the circulation and wake up your mind.
  • Keep your eye gel in the fridge for a wake-up call that will also deflate early morning puffiness. 
  • Use an oil-free day moisturiser with added sun protection factor (SPF) filters for hydrated, protected skin.
  • Apply a tingly lip gloss or balm with cooling properties, like menthol, to keep lips feeling fresh and nourished.
  • Drink cool or tepid water rather then ice cold, which upsets the tummy - and opt for still rather than sparkling water to avoid bloating.
  • Keep a water spray handy for quick on-the-spot refreshment and hold wrists under the cold tap for 30 seconds to help stay cool.

Cooling Aromatherapy Blends

Various essential oils have refreshing properties - try zesty lemon, cooling bergamot or invigorating peppermint, or make a travel-sized spritzer to pop in your handbag for instant zing.

  • Fill a 100ml plastic spray bottle with 50ml spring water and 50ml vodka. The vodka stops the mixture going off and helps release the fragrance.
  • Add 30 drops of sandalwood oil and 20 drops of lemongrass oil.
  • Shake to mix. The lemongrass releases a burst of lemon sherbet, while sweet, woody sandalwood has a lasting, uplifting effect.
  • Before heading out the door, spritz lightly over your skin and breathe in to refresh and enliven.
