Here we have all the tips and tricks to treat dry and flaky skin, shaving without irritation, and how to imitate sun-kissed glowing skin.

Keep on reading to find out how to perfect your summer skincare routine.

1. Start Exfoliating (Even If You Have Dry Skin)

 Summer is a time to refocus on your skincare routine and increase exfoliation to remove any dead, dull skin cells that may have accumulated throughout the cooler months. Exfoliation is vital for achieving healthy skin, increasing collagen production, and enabling your skin care products to penetrate into the skin better.

Regular exfoliation will give you the greatest glow of all! Even ultra-sensitive & dry skin needs to incorporate some exfoliation into their routine but perhaps opt for a gentle exfoliating cleanser instead such as DermaTx Rejuvenate Lactic acid cleanser rather than any intensive leave on acids.

2. Show Your Hair Some TLC

It isn't just the heat from your hair curlers that can cause irreversible damage to your locks, but chlorine from the pool, the sea salt from glorious beach days and UV rays from the summer sun too can cause lots of damage. So, show your hair some TLC by adding some much-needed additional hydration and strengthening.

Build up your hair's strength with OLAPLEX No.3 Hair Perfector and add some much-needed moisture with OLAPLEX No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask.

So, you've got a great SPF for your skin however, don't forget to protect your hair as well with OLAPLEX No.7 Bonding Oil to shield each strand from the harmful effects of UV light while also maintaining hydration and protecting hair colour during sun exposure.

3. Dare To Bare Your Legs

It's time to bring the dresses, shorts, and skirts out of your summer wardrobe to wear for the season...

Feel more confident baring your legs by creating silky smooth limbs with PRIORI 2xfoliant Peel+Scrub LCA  a high-strength 15% lactic acid to exfoliate and renew the skin for bumpy & dry skin.

You can build your tan safely from a bottle with Tan Cream SPF 50. By switching your body moisturiser to Tan Cream SPF 50, the lightweight cream will ensure you benefit from receiving broad-spectrum SPF, protection from premature ageing as well as gaining a gradual sun-kissed glow all within the same application!

If wearing low-cut dresses or swimsuits fills you with dread due to wrinkles then SilcSkin Decollette Pad will be your new favourite item. Simply apply the silicone pad while you sleep and watch the wrinkles fade away!

4. Are You Bikini Ready?

Regular shaving and waxing, especially around the bikini area and under the arms, can cause irritation to the skin's barrier plus cause ingrown hairs.

Because of this skin concern, there was an extremely high customer demand for a product that tackled both. So, PFB Vanish infused the ingredient Chromabright into their original anti ingrown hair formula to create the only lightning and ingrown hair roll-on on the market!

Patented ingredient Chromabright is formulated to help lighten dark spots. Clinical studies showed that PFB Vanish + Chromabright was 45.9% more effective than Kojic Acid and Hydroquinone.

5. Don't Forget The Heels

Exfoliation is a key part of getting your skin ready for summer, from your head all the way down to your heels.

Say goodbye to neglected dry, cracked heels in just a few weeks with NeoStrata Problem Dry Skin Cream, and say hello to skin feeling soft and strappy sandals.

An intensive treatment targeted at a specific concern, NeoStrata Problem Dry Skin Cream is a non-greasy, fast-absorbing lotion made up of a 20% hydroxy acid blend, maltobionic acid, and pro-vitamin E.
