As the warmth of summer approaches and our winter-worn bodies emerge from hibernation, it's the perfect time to revamp your skincare routine. Transitioning from the chilly months to the sunny days requires a little TLC, and I'm here to guide you through it. Below, I've compiled a list of my favourite skincare finds that your body will truly appreciate. From shaving to moisturising, body wash to the perfect fake tan, and of course, haircare essentials, we've got everything you need to get your body ready for the sunny season.
1. Smooth Moves with Shaving:
First things first, let's talk about smooth, silky skin. The warmer weather means we'll be showing a little more leg, so investing in a high-quality razor and some nourishing shaving cream is a must. Say goodbye to winter stubble and hello to effortlessly radiant skin. Schick Hydro Silk Trimstyle Kit is just over $20. I have been using it for years since i decided to stop waxing, Its water proof and gives a great shave. Chemist Warehouse have it in store and online.
2. Hydration Station - Moisturise:
With the sun's rays getting stronger, our skin needs all the hydration it can get. Opt for a moisturiser that suits your skin type to keep it soft and supple. Don't forget the sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from those UV rays.
La Roche-Posay have great skincare for all skin types and the sun cream is just the same, With thousands of 5 star reviews your skin will love you for it. You can buy it from Amazon or almost every Chemist.
3. Lathering Up with Body Wash:
A refreshing body wash is a fantastic way to start your day. Choose one with a delightful scent that energises your senses. It's a small indulgence that can make your morning shower feel like a mini spa experience.
The range of what i call "Bum Bum cream" is summer in a bottle. Using the shower wash and then the body moisturiser makes me feel great at the end of a hot day. Brazillian 4 Play
4. The Perfect Fake Tan:
If you're like me and prefer a sun-kissed glow without the sun's harmful effects, a good fake tan is your best friend. Look for a reliable self-tanning product that suits your skin tone. Remember to exfoliate before application for an even, streak-free result. Le tan "Glow: is just that it gives you the most beautiful natural glow with out the horrible smell and staining of your sheets. I put mine on after a shower at night, all over my body and face and wake up in the morning looking like i have been on holiday.

5. Lock in Those Locks - Haircare:
Your hair deserves some love too. The sun, sea, and pool can take a toll on your locks, so consider investing in haircare products designed to protect and nourish. A good leave-in conditioner can work wonders. Anything out of the Davines range will not only Nourish your hair but will make it smell "Davines".
6. Stay Hydrated:
Remember that skincare isn't just about external products. Keep your body hydrated from the inside out by drinking plenty of water. It's the secret to a radiant complexion. 960ml Coral Double Wall Insulated Cylinder Drink Bottle just $15 from Kmart. And comes in at least 7 great colours.
7. Self-Care: Finally, don't forget the importance of self-care. Take time for yourself, indulge in a relaxing bath, and enjoy some quality 'me' time. A happy mind contributes to a healthy glow.
With these essential skincare steps, you'll be well-prepared to welcome the summer season with open arms. As you nurture your skin and pamper yourself, you'll not only look your best but also feel your best. Go out and enjoy our beautiful coast and amazing weather, take a picnic and spend the day recharging your batteries. So, let's get ready to shine and make this summer the most radiant one yet!
