Summer body essentials

Bellamianta’s Butter Me Up Body Butter (€19.99) Bursting with hyaluronic acid to reduce the signs of fine lines and wrinkles, and enriched with shea and cocoa butter, this creamy, texture-blurring body butter will keep your skin plump and supple by locking in moisture, allowing you to bare it all come rain or shine.

And even better, its oil-free properties will keep you assured that your self-tanner stays flawless between applications.

Shea butter works to prevent cell damage, and is packed with anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidant vitamins A and E, which combined, increase cell turnover rate – preventing cellular damage and smoothing the skin’s surface.

It also plumps the skin by stimulating the production of collagen, keeping the skin tight and avoiding any premature sagging. Vitamin B helps to reduce irritation and is a miracle worker for dry and acne-prone skin, improving tone and texture and revealing an inner radiance. Vitamin C also aids in brightening and fading hyperpigmentation, making this the quintessential skincare saviour this summer.

This Works! Perfect Legs Skin Miracle (€54) This is a fuss-free solution that uses natural caramel for an instant, warm glow any day of the week. This non-greasy serum is applied just like a moisturiser anywhere on the body and doesn't require time to develop or create uneven streaks.

Achieve a just-got-off-a-plane glow that can be built up for added depth, applied strategically to on-show areas and washed off in the shower at the end of your day.

The superblends contain the finest botanical oils, proven natural actives and therapeutic fragrances, harnessing the power of nature at its cleanest and most effective.

Idôle Now by Lancome Floral fragrances are always more popular during summer but Idôle Now by Lancome is a new take on the much-loved classic.

The fragrance was launched this year and this new variation is richer and bolder thanks to a trio of iconic ingredients augmented by sciences.

The top note is rose; middle note is orchid; and the base note is a rich vanilla.
