As such I would like to propose the following to make your beauty transition as smooth as possible …
- Jump in the shower and exfoliate away those dead dull skin cells with a scrumptious salt scrub (I’m in love with the ones from The Body Shop right now).
- Wash hair with fruity-smelling shampoo (for example: Clairol Herbal Essences) and leave in a conditioning treatment for a few minutes (now is the perfect time for that salt-scrub).
- Towel-dry hair, spritz in a saltwater spray (I went for John Frieda’s one this morning), twist into a beachy updo.
- Cleanse then apply a hydrating or brightening mask for five minutes (did you know Clarins Beauty Flash Balm doubles up well for this?) before moisturising the face.
- Apply one great big coat of tanner. Go pre-tinted to get a head-start on your summer glow. Or go for a gradual tanner if you’re in a rush or tanning-challenged (like myself, and I’m currently using Nivea Sunkissed Skin, in case you’re interested).
- Flick on mascara and lavish on a bright orange or pink lip gloss (Really - trust me, it looks good. I just rediscovered the fluoro-coral-ish MAC Electron Pink).
- Mist on frisky spring scent, maybe something rosy, like Stella McCartney’s original.
- Add floral frock and watch your new-season self bloom beautifully, you gorgeous thing.
