The sun is shining, your favourite dresses are out, and you’ve ditched the socks (for now). That means one thing – summer is here!

hydrating it is, especially good for giving a pop on make-up free days. It’s tinted with a subtle (and sustainable) pigment and is full to the brim with twelve different plant oils – think jojoba, baobab and passionflower, all of which are designed to restore your lips natural lustre.

Wherever you're off to for the day, make sure your spa-like treatments are never far. A little indulgence goes a long way in feeling good. Cue, the Soak Sunday Cleo’s Paradise Body Scrub.

Nothing beats the effortlessness of beachy waves, but who has time to capture the effect every day of summer? We don’t know about you, but we’d much rather

We didn't think it could be done, but Parisian Perfumers Maison Matine have bottled up our favourite getaway and made it the Into the Wild Perfume. A limited-edition scent, it uses harvested ingredients and zingy notes of juniper, magnolia and ginger to uplift the senses.
Oh, and the illustrated bottles are perfect for any bathroom-mirror selfies you plan on taking. Spritz away, we’d say...

Although when you’re out in the sun it’s good to focus on the face and body, it’s
