]]> July has been filled with a series of highs and lows, but surprisingly, the two go hand in hand. In spite of the heatwave that has taken the UK by storm, this month has been filled with a series of skincare releases that are united by peptides and hydrating acids – destined to soothe and protect your skin from all of summer’s most prominent downturns. From eye creams to tanning drops, below, you’ll find five new products that belong in your shopping cart. 

Laneige Mango Lip Sleeping Mask

If your lips are burned and chapped, look no further. Laneige’s new Mango Lip Sleeping Mask uses Vitamin C to smooth rough lips, working alongside evening primrose root and Hunza apricot extract to deliver lasting hydration that will leave your lips feeling sweet and supple. Available in five delicious scents such as lemon sorbet and vanilla, this lip product is bound to please the senses. Use the built-in spatula to apply an adequate amount on the lips before going to sleep, before gently wiping them clean with a cotton pad the following morning. 

Youth to the People Polypeptide-121 Future Cream

Protecting your skin’s moisture barrier is vital, but with the launch of Youth to the People’s new face cream, there’s no better way to do so. Vegan and comprised of over 180 amino acids as well as rice, flax and pea plant proteins that are rich in antioxidants, this formula is jam packed with essential ingredients that will minimize the look of deep wrinkles and fine lines. For optimal results, after cleansing, smooth the treatment onto your face and neck both morning and night – we promise it’ll leave your skin with a healthy and ultra-dewy finish that you’ll adore!

Paula’s Choice C5 Super Boost Moisturiser

If you aren’t keeping up with Paula’s Choice’s newest releases, Voir is at your rescue, because trust us – you need them on your radar. This vitamin C moisturiser is ideal for all skin types, with a lightweight, gel-cream texture that improves firmness and brightens dullness. On its own, the superhero ingredient, vitamin C, can support some of skin’s most essential functions and counteract damage, so when partnered with barrier-repairing ingredients like peptides, it will undoubtedly bind in moisture and give you a supple complexion. Apply a small amount of the product once or twice daily to your face and neck, but if it’s daytime – don’t forget to top it off with SPF!

Glow Recipe x Isle of Paradise Glow in Paradise Kit

Both Glow Recipe and Isle of Paradise have enjoyed a cascade of positive criticism on social media, particularly TikTok, as of late. Their July collaboration combines two exclusive best-sellers, including the Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturiser and Isle of Paradise’s Self-Tanning Drops. The moisturiser is 100% oil free, and if that wasn’t enough to persuade you, the formula is packed with vitamins, amino-acids, soothing botanicals and plumping hyaluronic acid, locking in moisture and preparing your skin for the day ahead. Paired with self-tanning drops which will supercharge your skin with coconut and avocado oil, this limited-edition duo delivers that post-vacation glow all year round.

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme

Estée Lauder’s latest Night Repair Gel-Creme is perfect for tackling the harmful effects of the heatwave, laced with hyaluronic acid, a potent hydration booster, to keep your skin nourished for over 24 hours. The benefits of this supercharged treatment don’t stop there – with its 10X Concentrated Technology battling the visible impacts of UV rays, pollution, blue light and a lack of sleep by reducing dark circles, puffiness and dryness. If you’re in search of a product that will leave your skin feeling silky smooth all summer long, add this new product to your shopping cart for a youthful glow that promises to refresh and rejuvenate.

Heading to the beach? We’ve found some of the best summer superheroes to ensure you have a fabulous day out.

SPF

Obviously, we are going to mention this first. An absolute essential, choose a waterproof sunscreen and reapply regularly. There is a huge range to fit your wants and needs – if you hate the feeling of sand sticking to you try the Vichy Ideal Soleil Anti-Sand Cream, Its ultra-dry finish will leave you clean as a whistle. If you’re looking for something to put over your makeup, try the La Roche Posay Anthelios Invisible Face Mist SPF50 for a breathable veil of protection that is also moisturizing.

Waterproof Mascara

Because there is no worse look than black streaks down your cheeks. Try the L’oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara recommended by celebrity makeup artist Delina Medhin. She says, “This is a classic mascara it layers beautifully, and it’s one that you’ll see in almost every makeup artist’s kit.”

Detangling Spray

Saltwater, sun, and sand is a recipe for matted hair. The Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer blends the nourishing benefits of a leave-in conditioner while detangling to leave you with a glossy finish. Knots, be gone.

A Cooling Mist

Keeping cool during a blistering heatwave at the beach is no easy feat, but cooling sprays are here for your rescue. Glossier’s Soothing Facial Mist is fuss-free, treats stressed skin and reduces the appearance of any nasty heat rashes. It also contains Rosewater and aloe, which will help you appear more awake.

Lip Balm

Don’t forget your lips need some TLC when you’re spending all day in the sun. Opt for one with SPF like the Protective Lip Balm SPF 30 by Aesop. It has no white residue and leaves a slight translucent gleam, a great all-rounder.

Glowy Body Moisturisers

Show off your skin and add some glow! The Anastasia Beverly Hills Shimmer Body Oil is lightweight, non-sticky and packs some serious sheen. Skin will look hydrated and healthy.

]]> We love everything about summer – just not the increased sensitivity, redness and flare-ups that come with the warm weather and high pollen count. To help you, we’ve collated the best advice and products that’ll bring your skin back down to earth and keep you enjoying the sunshine and warm weather. Bring on the garden parties!

1. Start with the basics

These might seem obvious, but some get the basics wrong straight off the bat. Never use very hot water, harsh cleansers, do not exfoliate and use a moisturizer that is light and creamy to fit your skin type.

2. SPF

We can’t ram this point home enough, put your SPF on and reapply every two hours. Look for factor 30 for daily wear – Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 30 is brilliant.

3. Cover up the redness with a BB cream

No one likes wearing a full face on a hot day, so cover up the patches with a good BB cream. We love the Kiko Milano Green Me BB Cream – it’s tinted with green to counterbalance the redness and ideal for a natural finish to accompany you on an evening out.

4. Give your skin Some TLC with a facemask

There is nothing better than putting on a spa-like treatment in front of a movie. Try Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial which is a cooling and quenching overnight mask, which will plump and strengthen the skin’s acid mantle.

5. Cover up and always test your makeup

If you think you might be allergic to makeup, test a patch on your inner wrist, cover with a plaster and see if you develop an itchy rash after 48 hours. If you do, avoid said product like the plague. Try an all-natural makeup brand like Tower 28.

These glands produce sebum which is a combination of fats and dead skin cells. They are vital for maintaining healthy skin. However, the overproduction of sebum in the summer leads to oily skin. The t-zone is often the oiliest part of the face as there is a concentrated number of sebaceous glands.

Oily skin can be tough to manage during the summer as the warmer weather increases oil production in the sebaceous glands. These glands produce sebum which is a combination of fats and dead skin cells. They are vital for maintaining healthy skin. However, the overproduction of sebum in the summer leads to oily skin. The t-zone is often the oiliest part of the face as there is a concentrated number of sebaceous glands. Sometimes, skin that’s usually a dry or combination type in the winter can become oily in the summer. This is due to the humidity and heat. Minimising your beauty routine and swapping to products formulated for oily skin will help manage the excess oil. Here is a selection of products ideal for controlling oily skin during the summer.

Cleansers

A cleanser that targets oily skin can significantly help with the shine oil leaves on the skin. The Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Oil-Reducing Cleanser works to reduce the shine without stripping the skin of its natural oils. This cleanser also helps to balance sebum production by decongesting the pores and soothing the skin. As well as notably reducing the look of oily skin, the Skin Balancing cleanser fights breakouts caused by excess oil. A second cleanser formulated for oily skin is the Ole Henriksen Find Your Balance Oil Control Cleanser. This cleanser works to considerably reduce the amount of excess oil on the skin by deeply cleansing the pores. Formulated with AHA’s, this cleanser loosens and removes dead skin cells without stripping the skin. Perfect for the summer, it will keep the skin looking fresh all day long.

Moisturisers

Moisturising may seem like the wrong thing to do with oily skin. However, ensuring the skin is properly hydrated is necessary to manage this skin type. When choosing a moisturiser suitable for oily skin, it is always best to look for oil-free on the label. As well as this, it is a good idea to look for non-comedogenic and lightweight formulas as they won’t clog up your pores. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream helps to keep the shine away all day long. With its cooling effect, it is ideal for hotter days. Fast absorbing, this oil-free moisturiser ensures the skin is hydrated and refreshed. Another moisturiser that is great for keeping oily skin at bay is the Kate Somerville Oil-Free Moisturiser. Specifically formulated for oily skin, this moisturiser is light on the skin. It is a great option to use under makeup as it absorbs excess oil to create a matte look.

Makeup

Finding makeup for oily skin, especially in the summer months, can be particularly challenging. It’s important to pick the correct base for your makeup to ensure your makeup stays put. Therefore, it is best to choose an oil-free foundation such as the Clinique Stay-Matte Oil-Free Foundation. Controlling oily skin, this foundation will keep the skin matte, even during the hottest of days. With its lightweight texture, it feels comfortable on the skin and looks incredible throughout the day. Setting spray is essential for oily skin as it creates a barrier against shine emerging. A great product to keep your makeup looking flawless is the Cover FX Mattifying Setting Spray. This spray is a must for oily skin as it works to remove surface oils, controlling the shine. The setting spray also reduces the appearance of the pores, keeping the skin matte.

Blotting papers are perfect for on the go this summer. Made with super absorbent materials means the blotting papers soak up the excess oil on the skin. Ideal for a quick fix, they are a great beauty tool to keep in your handbag. The Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Blotting Papers are faultless for removing excess oil on top of makeup. These blotting papers will leave the makeup looking untouched and matte. Portable and compact, they come with a mirror making it the best product to manage oily skin throughout the day.

Switching up your beauty routine as we head into the warmer months will help to keep oily skin under control this summer.
