BEAUTY NEWS: HOT SUMMER ESSENTIALS

Off on your travels? It’s not just a case of dusting down last year’s after-sun. Here's our pick of the products you shouldn’t leave home without.

Whether it’s the heat of Hawaii, the romance of Rome or the temptation of Thailand, wherever you’re heading off for your summer sojourn make sure you pack the ultimate beauty essentials to keep you pampered and preened for your holidays.

Keeping up your daily beauty regime is just as important when you’re away as at home ... if not more so. The damaging effect of sun, sea and sand can leave your hair and skin crying out for much-needed TLC.

Essentials include after-sun, a hard-working cleanser, a shimmering bronzer to give you a much-needed colour boost in the first few days and, of course, a high SPF sun lotion. Also, take your favourite fragrance for evenings out and a great pair of tweezers to keep brows in shape throughout your fortnight away. Pack a lip gloss and nail varnish in glorious gold to show off your tan.

Luxurious travel sets – packed with mini versions of your favourite products – are a must, while a set of scented candles will ensure you relax and unwind after your flight.
