Summer Care

Salon professional products may be something that you only treat yourself to once every 6 weeks at the hairdressers, but you will be amazed at the difference you can make by using these products on a daily basis – and you don’t need to break the bank!

Top brands like Aveda, Kerastase, Redken, Tigi, Dermalogica, Guinot, OPI and Espa are all available at your fingertips.At Lookfantastic.com, they even come with a discount and are delivered direct to your front door – saving you time and money!

With that said, here are some tips on how to get the best from your products this summer.

Most hair care brands have specific sun care ranges that are designed to protect your hair while you are lazing in the sun, as well as repair the damage caused by harmful UV rays and other summer elements such as chlorine or salt water. Kerastase Soleil and KMS Sol Perfection are just two of the many sun care specific ranges that help protect your hair.

It goes without saying that your skin needs protection – everyone is aware of the damage the sun can cause. The good news is that you can get that essential summer glow and save your skin by getting a fake tan. Before you recoil in horror at the thought of stained hands and patchy legs, top brands like Fake Bake or St. Tropez won’t leave you orange or streaky. If you know you are going to spend time in the sun, a quality sunscreen product like Dermalogica’s Solar Defense Booster can be mixed with your favourite moisturiser or even your foundation, so you will be protected and look immaculate

As well as protecting your skin from harmful UV rays, you need to keep it hydrated. You hear this year in and year out, but drinking 8 glasses of water a day really will keep your skin smooth and supple! If you are out in the heat you may need to drink more water, so keep a bottle handy at all times. Remember that your body is already dehydrated if you feel thirsty.

Also, get a good body moisturiser and exfoliate your skin at least once a week to help keep it glowing. Detoxifying your skin around once every two weeks will also be beneficial. Try a product such as Espa’s Detoxifying Salt Scrub to exfoliate and detox in one easy step.

Now that your hair, skin and body are in tiptop shape, give your nails a coat of colour (OPI and Jessica Nails are great as they don’t chip off easily) and voila, you look fantastic!

So, go out there and have an amazing summer!
