Are you looking forward to holidaying at home this summer? Find the best skin care products for your staycation style with our guide to packing for a Great British getaway.
Staycation holiday prep products
The natural tanning ingredients in our organic self tan make it effortlessly easy to give sensitive skin a non-streaky sun-kissed glow ahead of your British beach break.'
For a soft, golden tan that doesn’t come with skin irritation or harmful sun exposure exfoliate the skin before use, then smooth this silky, hydrating self-tan into the skin. Allow to dry for 10 minutes before dressing - the tanned appearance will develop over the course of 3-4 hours and last for the duration of your long weekend staycation.
THE SOFT HEEL STAPLE
Sandal season is no fun if you’re conscious about your cracked heels, but our Ultimate Wonder Balm makes light work of getting feet feeling flip flop fresh!
Each jar contains a nourishing nectar of vitamin enriched oils including softening Sunflower Oil, moisture-retaining Coconut Oil and protective Pomegranate oil. After use, heels will feel seriously soft to touch and freshly fragranced by the delicate Jasmine and Ylang Ylang essential oils.
THE SUN PROTECTION SUPPLEMENT
The Astaxanthin used to create our Green Beauty skin supplement gives your skin a great vitamin boost and even acts like an internal sun cream. We take it twice daily for two weeks prior to travel to boost our skin’s supply of antioxidants and help it to defend against sun damage.
Our favourite way to take Green Beauty with Astaxanthin is to add it to a smoothie. Simply blend the contents of two capsules with a de-seeded pear, half a cucumber and two handfuls of spinach, then add an inch of peeled fresh ginger and a squeeze of half a lemon to create a nutritious morning smoothie.
