Our Summer Essentials: What we use and love!
I’m heading off on holiday next week, and I’ve already packed my favourites. When the weather gets hot, we wear fewer layers, use lighter products, and bring the products that make us feel really good. These are the summer essentials coming with me: tried-and-tested heroes that make my skin feel great, my hair behave, and my shower smell amazing.
🧴 Plouf Body Wash - Beach House
There’s no better scent for summer. It smells like a warm breeze through open windows at a beautiful beach house - fresh, clean, and addictive. I use it every day on holiday and keeps my skin so smooth and hydrated 👉 Shop it here!
☀️ SPF Heroes: La Roche-Posay & Apivita
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 SPF50+ - The holygrail sunscreen that protects against dark spots.
Apivita Bee Sun Safe Hydra Fresh SPF50 - Lightweight, non-sticky, and reliable.
💦 Korres Basil Lemon Body Milk
This smells like a zesty cocktail and leaves no residue. I use it all over my body after showering with Plouf for perfectly smooth skin and this compliments our Beach House scent so well.
💛 Santa Maria Novella - Caprifoglio
"Sweetness and freshness come together with a fascinating balance in Caprifoglio Eau de Cologne"
It's the perfect, refreshing summer scent. If you've had the pleasure of going to one of their beautiful shops, you'll almost certainly find the most unique fragrance that hardly anyone else is wearing. Wearing their perfume truly makes you feel so special.
🧴 Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream
Gentle, cooling, and my skin's best friend after too much sun or travel.
💆 OUAI Fine or Medium Hair Shampoo & Conditioner
One of my favourite brands and my favourite shampoo ever! This duo keeps my hair clean, bouncy, and frizz free, even on humid days and smells incredible. It has the most luxurious lather and the scent lingers and they have minis for travel which is great!
🌊 Davines SU Hair Milk
A post-sun saviour and one to bring to the beach to protect from UV rays. Spray into damp hair after swimming or sunbathing - it softens, protects, and smells amazing, obviously.
🌿 Korres Pure Greek Olive Body Oil
Light, nourishing, and smells so green and fresh. Perfect on post-swim skin or dry summer legs.
💧 Avène Thermal Spring Water Spray
My go-to cool-down in heatwaves and the perfect product to keep in your handbag when you are on the go and feeling hazy from too much sunshine. I keep one in my tote and one in the fridge.
You don’t need a suitcase full of stuff to feel amazing this summer. Just a few things key products that work and make you feel and smell amazing. After all, this is the season of scent!
