It’s starting to feel a lot like Summer – Beat the heat and protect your skin with The Body Shop’s seasonal must-haves
Summers in Sri Lanka bring their own unique set of skincare considerations; how do we manage the intense heat as well the increased humidity? This seasonal shift isn’t just about getting more sunshine though, it’s a cue to also recalibrate your beauty rituals. So, unpack that SPF, swap your heavy-duty creams for that light-weight moisturiser, and re-work your signature scent because brighter days are here!
Here are some of The Body Shop’s Summer Essentials, curated to keep you feeling, looking, and smelling good from head to toe:
- Light-weight moisturiser: Bid farewell to that sticky summer humidity. Maintaining radiant and deeply hydrated skin doesn’t have to involve layering dense moisturisers and face creams. The Body Shop’s daily hydrating Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser, with its lightweight and refreshing (but powerful) formula, can transform dull skin into a vibrant, all-over glow with just a few applications.
- Sun protection (your shield before and salve after): We know the mantra by now: “SPF, SPF, SPF!” Yes, while protective skincare is vital before you head out for the day, aftercare is just as crucial to cool and replenish your skin. Keep it simple with The Body Shop’s lightweight Skin Defence Multi-Protection Cream as the ultimate armour for skin protection against those harmful UVs. And for soothing post-sun exposure, the all-new Aloe Soothing Day Cream is your ideal pick; formulated to calm and soothe sensitive skin.
- Fresh scents: While sun protection takes centre stage during the hot summer months, why not also consider a fragrance refresh to complement the season? Fresh and breezy summer scents can definitely set the vibe for the day. The Body Shop’s new Fresh Flowers eau de parfum collection -offering captivating choices like Orange Blossom, Rose, Ylang Ylang, Iris, and Magnolia- will keep you smelling effortlessly summery all day long with just a few spritzes. Additionally, elevate your scent experience by “layering” your fragrances: start with a stronger base (be it a perfume or even a strong-scented body wash or lotion) and then subtly enhance it with your favourite light perfume as desired.
- Hydration on the go: Nothing beats hydration like a tall glass of cool water, but The Body Shop does come pretty close. Cooling body care products such as the Peppermint Invigorating Foot & Leg Mist to instantly refresh and revive those tired, hard-working feet, Edelweiss Bouncy Jelly Face Mist for a quick hit of cooling hydration, and Hemp Lip Rescue Stick to urgently sooth ultra-dry lips are some perfect solutions for beating the heat when on the go.
