Summer Beauty Care Tips

Summer is a time for relaxation, recreation and rejuvenation. Follow our summer beauty essentials guide and get body beautiful for the holiday season.

Fresh fragrances

Perfumes can be too heavy in hot weather, so try a lighter scent. Our favourite mix and match scents include MOP 01, available in seven flavours including Mandarin, Spearmint and Ylang Ylang to create your own unique fragrance.

• Hei Poa Mono Tiare Eau de Toilette
• Korres Body Water

Luscious locks

Sun, sea and indoor air conditioning can play havoc with your hair. Beat the frizz and keep moisture levels up with our selection of intensive conditioning treatments. We love Phyto sun veil containing sweet almond and lotus extract which leaves hair beautifully supple and shiny.

• Korres Red Vine Hair Sun Protection
• Hei Poa Beauty Oil Tiare
• Matrix Biolage Sunsorials Protective Sun Gel

Protect against sun damage

Sun protection is vital in keeping skin healthy, so always wear a moisturiser with added SPF, even if it is overcast. Korres produce a number of everyday moisturisers that help protect from the sun, such as Pomegranate Balancing Moisturiser for Oily/Combination Skin. For body protection try Badger Balm SPF15 Sun Block or for a higher level, Korres Sweet Orange Sunscreen Milk SPF25.

We also recommend:

• Badger Balm Sun Block SPF 15 Creme
• Ultrasun Protection 17
• Ole Henriksen Sun-Light Protection Creme
• Korres Sweet Orange Sunscreen Milk
• Phyto Phytosolaire Daily Supplements

Gorgeous skin

The secret to silky soft skin lies in following a simple skin care routine. Exfoliate twice a week with one of our favourite body scrubs, brightening your complexion with a body polish. Moisturising regularly with one of our scrumptious body butters will help keep your skin looking radiant.

We also recommend:

• Korres Vanilla Plum Body Butter
• Get Flirty Lathering Body Buff

Hit the beach with confidence, say goodbye to those pasty limbs and get that sunkissed look in an instant! We recommend Fake Bake Original for experienced tanners, and Hei Poa Monoi Beauty Oil with macerated tiare flowers, enhanced with golden shimmering mother of pearl to nourish skin and moisturise the skin after sun exposure.

Fancy footwork

Revive tired, aching feet after a hard day with Arran Aromatics delicious moisturising rub. Containing essential oils of lavender to soothe away soreness, and peppermint to cool and refresh, this super moisturising cream leaves a lingering fragrance that will have you walking on air. We also recommend investing in an Urban Spa Pumice Stone to keep hard skin at bay.

How does oil help to prevent premature greying and maintenance of beautiful hair?

I would like to know whether it is healthy to apply oil on the scalp immediately after washing my hair? Is it really useful in preventing premature greying? Hoping to get a sincere answer.

Oil - No way, surely there is no science behind this

The only known herb that will help you for this is Fo-Ti. Google it and study it's various benefits on the human metabolic systems.
In India, Fo-Ti is available as part of the Segals Advanced Hair Supplement.

Mind you, the process is not instant and needs a considerable time if you want everlasting (natural) results
