TOP 9 SUMMER BEAUTY ESSENTIALS

Body scrub

This body scrub is sooooooo good, I use it 3 times a week whilst having my bath. It contains sea salt to exfoliate and oil to moisturise so you are not left feeling dry afterwards. British summer is the worst so this buffs your whole body for any skin you maybe showing.

Toe nails

Ugly toes and summer do not go. It might only be semi hot, but get yourself a foot scrub now! You can even use the onsen body scrub on your feet.There's nothing worse than grabbing flip flops then realising you have cracked heels and chipped toe nails. Try bright colours on toe nails if anything they will distract from drawing attention to your feet.

Body oil 

Ok you might be thinking why? Summer is already sweaty enough but hear me out. Summer equals bare legs, a little oil weather it be coconut, or baby etc will add a little shimmer to your legs which will reflect sunshine and draw attention to your long limbs. 

Sunscreen 

This goes without saying, regardless of skin shade we are all affected by sun damage in the same way, always go for atleast sp15 and above, and the sprays are also easier. 

Tinted moisturiser 

Want to look natural but still like you made an effort, one of the best and easiest way is tinted moisturiser, it's light coverage and wearable. If you don't want to shell out on a new expensive tinted moisturise like the Laura mercier above, then use a smidge of your current foundation, mixed with your face moisturiser and blend into skin with you hands. 

Lip balm 

No one wants fussy lip hues in summer, you sort of want to look like a disheveled sea mermaid, there are some great lip balms out their atleast under £5. I am current using Carmex. 

Floppy hat 

For non fussy days or lets face it when you really can't be bothered nothing looks more effortlessly chic than a tea dress and floppy hat, plus it protects you from harmful sun rays.

Dry shampoo

And for days when you can be bothered but don't want the fuss dry shampoo is great it gives volume and has your hair feeling clean it smells great too. 

And finally braids

These have come back in full swing, from crown braids, to box braids to fishtails, a few randoms around the head, here's a bit of inspiration below.
