Heatwave Beauty Essentials

Summer has officially arrived and with that our beauty regimes have turned upside down but don’t worry, I got you! I’ve pulled together some of my beauty essentials to help you survive the heatwave!

SPF

Regardless of the weather SPF is essential and should be worn daily. Key to helping to protect your skin against UVA and UVB rays, premature aging, and skin cancer it’s one of the most important products you need.

Not keen on that sticky feeling you can get from some SPF but still want protection? Try an SPF mist such as Ambre Solaire Dry Mist SPF50.

Another of my favourites is from La Roche-Posay Ultra light invisible fluid, which feels so lightweight on the skin and absorbs without feeling greasy.

Chafing

Probably the least welcome when the sun shines, chafing of the skin can feel super uncomfortable and can often leave the skin irritated.

If this is you, liquid talc will become your best friend, preventing chafing and protecting your sensitive skin this will help keep your skin feeling soft and cool.

Another favourite is Lanacane Anti Chafing gel which provides a soft silicone barrier at friction points.

Deodorant

Looking for a deodorant to keep you fresh and dry all day? For me the best of the best is Mitchum, available as a spray and a roll-on, it promises 48 hours protection, formulated for sweat and odour control. Having tried a lot of deodorants over time this is the only one I have ever come back to.

Another favourite of mine is Mario Badescu, free from aluminium and parabens, making it much kinder to the skin whilst keeping you fresh and clean all day.

Face Mist

My absolute must-have for those super hot days is a face mist. Helping to cool down your face instantly whilst hydrating the skin, once you try these you will never look back.

For an extra cool hit, try storing the mist in your fridge before you spray!
