Of course, we’ve been ready for the summer since the snow storm in the beginning of the year, and have been waiting anxiously for the sun to come out of hiding and banish the cold and rain. But how about your skin? Our skin certainly will be able to tell the difference between now and three months ago, so how can we make sure that it responds as positively as possible? We’ll show you how to make sure your summer is bliss without the side-effects…

Step 1. Remove Hair
Swap your winter legs and arms for irresistibly smooth skin!
Top Tip: Try shaving legs just after a bath as this softens the hair and makes it easier to remove. Use a gel or lotion to make shaving as easy as possible!

Step 2. Exfoliate
Soften skin and remove dry, dead skin cells.
Top Tip: Create your own by mixing granulated sugar with your favourite body wash! Cheap, quick and easy and works brilliantly!

Step 3. Moisturise
Keep skin supple and hydrated by using a moisturiser that has natural ingredients such as cocoa butter, aloe or olive oil.
Top Tip: Invest in a product that products against the harmful effects of the sun. Check for one that has SPF (Sun Protecting Factor)

Step 4. Pedicure
It’s absolutely essential to keep feet and toes up to the summer standard. Remove dead, dry skin with a foot scrub to promote soft feet.
Top Tip: Visit a beauty shop or salon and treat yourself to a relaxing pedicure. They’ll even give your toenails a fresh, summery look!
