We all have our favourite products when it comes to looking after our bodies. But have you ever noticed after months and months of using these products you don't get the same results, or just find that you've fallen out of love with them? Well, just like we switch out our wardrobes as the seasons change, it's also important to switch up your skincare products. The changes in weather and temperature can mean your skin now has different needs, and requires a whole new set of products to do the job. For me, I find the warmer weather completely changes the way my skin works. My skin can go from usually dry to oily, and vice versa in other areas. Thankfully I've found a good combination of products that work well for me during the summer months. Here are my summer shower essentials:
Freshly Cosmetics Raspberry Revitalising Body Scrub
As previously mentioned, my skin ends up being drier in areas that it isn't usually. If you're finding yourself in the same position, then I've found a great product to help you out. The Freshly Cosmetics Raspberry Revitalising Body Scrub improves skin renewal and texture by removing dead skin cells and smoothing the skins surface. With it's formula being made up of 99% natural ingredients, it's gentle on the skin yet does the job perfectly. Not to mention, the sweet raspberry scent is incredible!
Palmolive Naturals Coconut Shower Milk
So once you've exfoliated your skin using a scrub, it's time to cleanse your skin. My go to shower essential has been the Palmolive Naturals Coconut Shower Milk. I'm normally a shower gel kinda gal, however shower milks and cremes are so much more nourishing and hydrating to the skin. So in the warmer summer months when our skin is dry and dehydrated, this shower milk is fantastic! Formulated with moisturising milk and coconut extract, Palmolive respect the natural balance of your skin and have created an amazing shower product that gently cleanses and soothes the skin. The fresh coconut scent is perfect for summer and will be a holiday essential for sure!
Pantene Repair Shampoo & Conditioner
The Pantene Repair Shampoo and Conditioner have quickly become my stable haircare products as of lately. As with most people, I'm sure you feel your hair condition change when the weather is warmer. The humidity in the air and the higher temperatures can lead to our hair quickly becoming dry, damaged and frizzy. I know when I go on holiday my hair becomes a nightmare to manage - I'm talking Monica Geller bad! Well this Shampoo/Conditioner will help restore damaged hair leaving it feeling soft and deeply hydrated again, whilst also preventing it from further damage.
The Body Shop Body Yoghurts
And my final go to summer shower product is actually kinda cheating as it's more of an 'after shower' product, but it's the Body Shop Body Yoghurts. I've spoked about these before on my Instagram but oh my god they are incredible. The thin lightweight formula means it sinks into the skin very quickly whilst still leaving your moisturised. Because let's be honest, in the summer we just want to be up and out the door to the beach or pool, who has time to wait around for moisturiser to dry?
