Hello my lovelies! Summer is in full swing, and it’s the perfect time to talk about getting our skin beach-ready. We all want to enjoy the sun without compromising on skin health, so today, I’ll be sharing my top picks for keeping your skin hydrated, protected, and glowing all summer long. From essential SPF to luxurious oils and nourishing creams, as well as the best hair care products to keep your locks looking fabulous, these are my go-to items for staying radiant and healthy by the beach.

After soaking up the sun, my skin needs a little TLC. That’s when I reach for the Darling After Sun Lotion. It’s perfect for calming and hydrating my skin, leaving it incredibly soft and refreshed. Chanel Les Beiges Fluid – is my secret weapon for that effortless summer glow. It gives my skin such a beautiful, natural radiance without feeling heavy. It’s perfect for those days when you just want a bit of a boost and to enhance your tan. For a touch of luxury, La Mer’s The Reparative Body Lotion is an absolute must. It’s so rich and nourishing – my skin feels like silk after using it. It’s perfect for keeping my skin hydrated and luminous, especially after a long day in the sun.  Another favourite is the Lancome Nutrix Royal Body Butter. It’s so nourishing and perfect for restoring my skin’s softness and elasticity after sun exposure. I love how rich and creamy it is – a true treat for my skin. And of course, I can’t forget the Chanel N°5 The Body Cream. It’s the epitome of elegance and luxury. Not only does it deeply moisturise my skin, but it also leaves it with the most beautiful, subtle scent. It’s perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to my body care routine.

When it comes to hair care, Kerastase has been my go-to brand for years. During the summer months, I switch to their red Soleil line to keep my hair healthy and shiny despite the sun, sea, and sand. The Soleil Hair Oil Mist is a beach bag essential for me—it’s perfect for protecting my hair from UV rays while adding a beautiful shine. At home, I use the matching shampoo, mask, and cream to deeply nourish and repair my hair after those sunny days out. And of course, a wide-tooth comb is a must, especially if you have naturally curly hair prone to tangling. This routine keeps my hair looking and feeling its best all summer long.

When it comes to sun protection, Dior Solar is my absolute favourite. The Dior Solar The Protective Creme SPF 50 is a staple in my summer skincare routine. It offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, which is crucial for keeping my skin safe from sun damage. What I love most about this product is its lightweight, non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and smooth. Plus, it provides a beautiful, subtle glow, making it perfect for those no-makeup days. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or exploring a new city, this SPF keeps your skin protected and radiant.

Light Blue Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue is a classic summer scent that never fails to transport me to the stunning Mediterranean coast. This fragrance is like a vacation in a bottle, opening with the crisp and refreshing notes of Sicilian lemon, apple, and cedar. As it settles, you’ll notice the delicate heart notes of bamboo, jasmine, and white rose, which add a soft, floral elegance. The base notes of amber, musk, and cedar provide a warm, sensual finish that is both captivating and long-lasting. Light Blue is perfect for those who love a fresh, clean scent with a touch of sophistication. It’s an effortless choice for summer, evoking feelings of sun-drenched days and cool sea breezes. Every spritz is a reminder of the beauty of the Mediterranean, making it a must-have in your summer fragrance collection.

Byredo Bal d’Afrique Eau de Parfum

If you’re searching for a fragrance that embodies the spirit of summer, look no further than Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique. This scent is an olfactory journey that captures the vibrancy and warmth of African culture. With top notes of African marigold, bergamot, and bucchu, it opens with a fresh, invigorating burst. The heart of the perfume reveals a bouquet of cyclamen, violet, and jasmine, adding a floral sophistication. Finally, the base notes of Moroccan cedarwood, vetiver, and black amber provide a rich, earthy depth that lingers beautifully on the skin. It’s a perfect blend of freshness and warmth, making it an ideal choice for those sunny summer days and balmy evenings. This perfume not only smells divine but also tells a story, making it one of my absolute favourites.

These are my go-to products to keep my skin looking and feeling its best all summer long. I hope you love them as much as I do! Let’s keep our skin glowing and hydrated, no matter how hot it gets. Enjoy, and happy summer skincare!
