Summer beauty tips

Get golden summer skin the safe way. Yes, we all love a summer tan – but our skin doesn’t like UV rays, so go for the healthier option. Dove Essential Nutrients Protective Day Lotion SPF15 has UVA & UVB filters to help protect skin from the sun’s rays. A self tanner like Dove Summer Glow Gradual Self Tan Body Lotion will nourish and care for your skin, while giving you the glow you’re after

Whether it’s from the sweltering heat, all those outdoor summer games or the swimming pool, make-up has a habit of melting away in the summer. Give your favourite beauty products a waterproof makeover so they stay put as long as you want them to

If there’s ever a time for bright colours, it’s now. Save your foundation and matte skin for winter and take the plunge into something more adventurous – if ever the time was right for electric blue eyeliner, this is it

If summer to you means frequent hair removal, make sure you take care of your skin to prevent any sensitivity or redness. Use conditioner as a shaving cream (it gives you a thin, smooth surface that your razor will glide over beautifully) and always moisturise afterwards – that goes for your underarms, too

Warmer weather means baring more skin, so make sure you prepare with some serious pampering. Exfoliate to remove any old skin cells from winter, then treat yourself with a rich moisturiser like our Indulgent Nourishing Body Lotion with Shea Butter

Bold lipstick is perfect for winter but summer is the time for lightweight, tinted lip balms. They’re more moisturising than lipstick, so you can care for your skin in the heat while still looking and feeling fabulous
