Which summer essentials do you need for a complete summer routine?
Whether you’re spending a day at the beach, sitting on a terrace or heading into town: the right essentials make all the difference. From SPF for face and body to after-sun, summer fragrance and light make-up. These are the 10 favourites that, according to our Skins Experts, are a must-have this summer.Sun protection, tanning and skincare in summer
Summer calls for more than just a good SPF. Sun, heat, salt water and air conditioning all affect how your skin and hair feel. With the right combination of protection, hydration and care, your skin will stay comfortable and you’ll enjoy a healthy summer glow for longer.Why is SPF for the face important during the summer?
Your face is exposed to UV rays every day, even when the sun is hidden behind the clouds. That’s why SPF for the face is an essential step in any summer routine. Daily protection helps prevent dark spots and premature skin ageing, whilst keeping your skin feeling comfortable and healthy. Discover our range of SPF for the face and sun protection for the body.Which summer fragrance is best suited to warm weather?
On warm days, a perfume feels lovely when it brings a sense of freshness, yet leaves something distinctive on the skin. Skins x Essential Parfums: Osmanthus Absolu, created with perfumer Mathieu Nardin, reinterprets the classic tea accord into a modern fragrance. Osmanthus and smoky black tea add texture, whilst cedarwood and vanilla provide a soft warmth that lingers close to the skin.Why are more and more people opting for self-tanners?
A natural glow doesn’t have to come from the sun. Sunlight accelerates skin ageing and increases the risk of pigmentation spots or damage. Self-tanners offer a safe alternative and give the skin a warm tone without exposure to UV rays. Modern tanning formulas also moisturise the skin and ensure an even finish. Explore our self-tanners for the face and self-tanners for the body.When should you use aftersun and what does it do for your skin?
After a day in the sun, your skin needs to recover. After-sun helps replenish lost moisture, cools the skin and supports the natural recovery process following exposure to UV radiation. Applying an after-sun product after sunbathing keeps your skin feeling comfortable, soft and moisturised. Discover our range of after-sun products for skincare after every sunny day.What make-up is best for hot summer days?
On hot days, heavy make-up often feels less comfortable. That’s why many people opt for light make-up with airy textures and a natural finish in the summer. Products such as skin tints, blushes and light concealers subtly even out the skin whilst allowing it to retain its natural glow.How do you care for dry skin on hot summer days?
Sunlight, heat, salt water and chlorine can all affect your skin. Some skin types become drier and tighter, whilst others produce more sebum. You should therefore opt for moisturising products, such as a body cream or body oil containing ingredients like shea butter or aloe vera.Read the Skins Story‘Your skin tells the story of your summer’to find out how your skin changes – and how you can support it.
