Tame your mane
Hair can burn just like skin when unprotected. Enriched with sunfl ower seed extract, Sun Shield is a super- lightweight nourishing mist that provides an invisible shield of protection over the hair. It guards against colour fade from
sun exposure, and diminishes damage and dryness caused by UV rays, chlorine and salt water. It also doubles up as a frizz tamer, helping to smooth the hair and provide control even in humid conditions. Meanwhile, the After-Sun Scalp Mask soothes and moisturises
sun-exposed scalps. The calming scalp mask is ideal for soothing sunburnt scalps and sensitive skin as it provides immediate and long-lasting comfort.
Infused with chamomile extract and high levels of hydrating aloe vera, this treatment can also be used on dry scalps all year round to keep the scalp healthy and hydrated. • Philip Kingsley Sun Shield, £22 for 100ml, and After-Sun Scalp Mask, £17, www.

Be a skin smoothie
Exfoliation is an essential part of every summer skincare routine.
Gentle chemical exfoliators, such as AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids, like glycolic or lactic acid) and BHAs (beta hydroxyl acids – look specifically for salicylic acid), leave your skin silky smooth, while hydrators like shea butter and vitamin E make it look dewy and plump. It’s also a good idea, about a month
before your holiday, to increase your dietary intake of antioxidants to neutralise
some of the damaging effects of UV. • Carrots contain beta-carotene, which helps the skin fi ght free radicals. • Almonds are rich in vitamin E and help the skin’s repair process.
• Red grapes contain polyphenols, which provide some defence against sun-induced DNA damage. • Greens, like spinach and kale, are bursting with protective antioxidants. • Tomatoes contain the antioxidant lycopene, which has been shown to calm irritation and offer some natural protection from sunburn.
Bare your soles! It’s time to get your feet sandal- ready and in fl ip-fl op form – and to show your toes some love and attention. Your feet go through the same aging process as your face: over the years the fat layer thins, sweat glands shrink and moisture is lost. So a daily dose of hydration is a must. Book in for your manicure/
pedicure the day before you jet off. Gel manicures have come a long way in the last few years: they’re longer lasting, gentler
and easier to remove. Favourites include CND Shellac, OPI GelColour and Essie Gel, all of which should last the duration of your vacation without chipping.
