Summer holidays are the perfect time to relax and enjoy some well-deserved downtime. However, the change in climate and increased sun exposure can take a toll on your skin and body. Here’s how to prepare yourself to look and feel your best on your summer getaway.
1. Hydrate Inside and Out
Drink Plenty of Water
Staying hydrated is crucial, especially in the summer heat. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. This will help keep your skin plump and radiant.
Use Hydrating Skincare Products
Switch to hydrating skincare products containing ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Aloe Vera. These ingredients help to lock in moisture and keep your skin looking fresh.
2. Exfoliate Regularly
Gentle Exfoliation
Exfoliating your skin removes dead skin cells, revealing a brighter complexion and also prepares your skin for a self tan. Use a gentle exfoliator 2-3 times a week. This will also help your skin better absorb other skincare products. Our Miracle Tan Eraser also doubles as a fantastic body exfoliator for use in the shower. Team with our Exfoliating Mitt to to remove dead and dull skin cells and achieve beautifully smooth and soft skin ready for your holiday.

3. Protect Your Skin
Sunscreen is a Must
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, even when it's cloudy. Reapply every two hours, and after swimming or sweating.
Wear Protective Clothing
Opt for light, long-sleeved shirts, hats, and sunglasses to protect your skin from UV rays.
4. Get Your Glow On
For a sun-kissed, confidence-boosting glow without the risk of sun damage, apply a self-tanner a few days before your holiday for a natural-looking tan so you look and feel your best.
Gradual Tanners
Gradual tanning lotions such as our Body Glow and Body Glow Blush are great for building a subtle, streak-free tan over time and for topping up an existing tan that's starting to fade. They also moisturise your skin, keeping it soft and supple, perfect for summer days when your skin can become dehydrated.

Express Tanners

Conclusion
