Ready to top last summer? Of course you are. Summer is the best time of year, so even if you just went with the flow you’d still have a pretty stellar time, but if you really want to make the most of it, here are 10 of our most valuable summer beauty and life hacks to help you carpe diem!
Heat expands the size of our pores, meaning they’re more likely to get clogged during summer and lead to breakouts, especially as we produce more sweat. A heavy-duty foundation can contribute to congesting the skin, so our first beauty hack is to invest in a tinted moisturiser that lets your skin breath.
ZO SKIN HEALTH SUNSCREEN + PRIMER SPF 50
ZO Skin Health Sunscreen + Primer SPF 50 is lightweight on the skin and provides maximum protection against UVA, UVB, and HEV light whilst lightly covering imperfections with a semi-matte finish for that ~summer glow~. It also helps to reduce free radical damage, rehydrate the skin’s barrier, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, and calm inflammation. If you’d like a little more coverage, pair it with OXYGENETIX Oxygenating Foundation to keep your pores clear.
And nope, cocktails don’t count (but wouldn’t it be nice if they did?) as they actually speed up the dehydration process. More water is lost through sweat as our body tries to cool itself down in the heat, which can easily lead to dehydration. We should aim to drink 6-8 glasses (or around 2 litres) of water a day to stay hydrated and prevent our skin from becoming dangerously dull.
Trying to get our lashes perfectly spaced apart and brows looking somewhat related wastes precious sunlight hours. Ditch the mascara and eyebrow pencil and get summer ready with our semi-permanent Lash & Brow Tint for longer-looking lashes and more defined brows.
Your body is beautiful, m’kay? Focus on what you love about it instead of what you wish you had. We guarantee someone else has wished for what you have, so count your blessings. Literally. Then write them down to remind yourself daily until you don’t need reminding anymore.
One way to instantly feel more confident throughout swimsuit season is to get a bikini wax, or full Brazilian if you’re into that. Because nothing makes us feel more self-conscious than trying to hide the fact we forgot to get a wax whilst wearing an itty-bitty bikini – public pubes are 100% worse than a nip slip. To keep things neat n’ tidy, you’ll want to book an appointment every 4-6 weeks.
Combining the very best from the Spectra Hollywood Carbon Peel and Young LDN Signature Oxygen Facial, the Hollywood Air Facial is one of our most popular summer facials for those who dare to go bare-faced. It deeply exfoliates the skin before infusing pure oxygen into the skin to boost blood flow and nutrient delivery, whilst killing bacteria on the surface of the skin to prevent breakouts.
Be the reason that the girls’ trip finally makes it out of the group chat! It’s fun to daydream about, but making memories is the funnest. Agree on a budget then get everyone together to present a destination and itinerary to the group (bonus points for costumes and accents). The one with the most votes wins, si?
Coordinating your outfits and nails becomes almost impossible come warmer months with all the different colour choices, which makes our Japanse Manicure the ideal beauty hack for summer. A highly nutritious keratin paste loaded with vitamins A, E, and H is applied to your nails for a natural, long-lasting shine that’ll compliment your entire wardrobe. FYI, we also offer a Japanse Pedicure.
If stubborn areas of fat is the one thing standing between you and full-body confidence, get ready for summer with EMSCULPT Neo, a non-invasive body contouring treatment designed to reduce fat and build muscle. We’re able to safely treat several areas of the body including arms, thighs, and love handles. On average, clients see a 30% reduction in fat and 25% gain in muscle after a course of 4 EMSCULPT Neo courses. For all the ins and outs, read more here.
You’ve always gotta be ready to spritz. Always. Take our (hot and sweaty) word for it. Circadia Licorise & Bearberry Brightening Mist is one of our favourite beauty hacks for summer to stay cool and radiant with a blend of illuminating ingredients, including licorice, bearberry, and natural extracts, that deliver instant and gradual dewiness. Keep the face mist in the fridge for an extra refreshing treat.
