SUMMER SKIN
FROM HEAD TO TOE
FASHION+BEAUTY
WITH ANY LUCK, THE COUNTDOWN TO YOUR SUMMER HOLIDAY IS
OFFICIALLY ON; EVEN IF YOU’RE STAYING HERE IN THE UK FOR THE WARMER SEASON,
IT’S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO GET YOUR SKIN IN SHAPE BEFORE A WEEK OR TWO
SPENT IN THE SUNSHINE. FROM YOUR FACE TO YOUR FEET, HERE ARE SOME TOP
TIPS AND INVALUABLE PRODUCTS TO GET YOU AND YOUR SKIN READY FOR A
CONCENTRATED STINT IN THE HOT SUMMER SUN.
FRESH FACE AND HEALTHY HAIR
Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! It’s so
important to use sunscreen that we can’t stress
it enough – always opt for a good brand
product and choose one that provides
protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Apply
it at least 20 minutes before heading out into
the sun and reapply every couple of hours; a
good sunscreen should have at least a SPF of
30+, which is suitable for those with even the
fairest of skin to keep sun damage at bay.
WE LOVE:
PRIORI Skin Decoded. The first four-level sun protection product featuring genetic
protection factor, PRIORI’s Skin Decoded is a next generation sunscreen – four levels of
protection smart enough to adapt to what your skin needs, when it’s needed. This multi-
layer, broad-spectrum mineral formula shields you from free radicals, pollutants and the
sun’s radiation; with Infrared Protection Complex, antioxidants and DNA repair enzymes,
this is the one to start each day in the sunshine no matter your skin type.

Aloe Vera for your skin and face
If you have irritated, dry or damaged skin, it
has to be soothed first and essential oils are
your best friends here - packed with vitamins,
amino acids and antioxidants, they not only
help smooth fine lines but also heal any
blemishes and irritation at the same time.
“Aloe Vera is mainly known for its healing
properties, as it kills certain bacteria and
reduces inflammation. It is
also a great antioxidant,
which means it protects our
skin from free radical
damage,” explains
Cassandra Burns,
nutritionist at
www.nutricentre.com.
“Tea tree oil is also
great as it destroys
bacteria as nothing
else does – it
penetrates the
blockage between
your skin and glands,
clearing clogged pores
and drying out
stubborn blackheads.
Lemon essential oil
can help to rejuvenate
tired-looking skin and
brighten complexion.”
