The Ultimate Guide to Summer Beauty!

Whilst we bask in the glorious warmth of summer’s fiery embrace, the sun deprived diva gives way to what I like to call the “Flushed Fashionista” syndrome. The transformation from coolly coiffed and gorgeously groomed to parched powders and frizzy faux pas is but a sweaty slope.

Whether summer means swapping stories swathed in self tan as you sip a Cosmo in Ron Blacks, or days spent slowly basting yourself in the heady Basque heat. The makeup meltdown that is summertime has arrived into Dublin on Aer Lingus flight EIO584. So let the shaving, waxing and preening commence as you banish raccoon like eyes to the ghost of summer past and reveal your true goddess glow with these following tips.

Hair - The Textured Tress!

Nothing screams summer like gorgeously tousled tresses!  Sun kissed strands and honeyed highlights can be wonderful reminders of warm summer days, but frolicking can come at a price. Prolonged exposure to the sun's ultra-violet A and B (UVA and UVB) rays can damage your hair from its cuticle to its inner structure. The Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask is an ultra light formula suitable for all hair types. Infused with a UV guard, hair is strengthened, shine is restored as the oil is instantly absorbed into your thirsting tresses.

Skin – Avoid the Makeup Meltdown!

With summer comes sunlight, armed with UV and UVB rays, this pleasure ball of humidity subjects the skin to a barrage of damaging delights from premature ageing to itchy fits and soul destroying sunburn. Lest not we forget skin cancer! Arm yourself with Dermalogicas Solar Defense Booster SPF50. Suitable for all skin types this advanced sunscreen can be blended with your moisturiser or foundation. As less is definitely more and the trend this season is towards sheer and light, try Decleor Hydra Floral Multi Protection BB Cream SPF15, as you go from from day to evening, ensuring the lasting luminosity and hydration of your skin.

Body – Are You Bikini Ready?

Preparing to unveil the remnants of your wintered limbs can often produce squeals of horror and surprise. But body beautiful is body confident. So the sun lounger may shudder, and the gym pass although direct debiting away remains pristine, the clever Lytess range of shape wear may just save your sunny day. This combination of luxury shape wear infused with clever weight loss properties, actually smoothes and reduces cellulite as it massages and tones dimpled skin. Try Lytess Stop Cellulite Shorts, really comfortable to wear on their own or under that summer maxi.

Hands & Feet – Nailing the Right Colour!

Summer nails are not for the faint of heart. Gorgeous summer ready hands and feet are just a file, beautifying buff and lavish polish away. Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment strengthens nails as it moisturises and promotes even skin tone. Preparing your nails for the onslaught of colour that’s to come. The Red Carpet Manicure range features a rainbow of LED Gel Polishes, which give weeks of colour with no chipping or peeling.
