I've been enjoying watching the 'Most Worn Summer Items' videos on Youtube recently and decided to compile my own top 5 'Best of Summer' post for today. Sadly we haven't had much of a summer in England this year (again!), but on the occasional hot sunny days, I have been reaching for these products.
1. The Body Shop Vitamin E Lip Care with SPF 15 (£4, link)
I'm addicted to lip balm and use it all year round. So when summer rolls up, I like to switch to one that has an SPF. This one from The Body Shop is very moisturising and great to wear underneath lipsticks because it provides a nice smooth base. It also doesn't have a specific 'flavour' or anything to it, so it may be ideal for those who aren't into fruity scents etc.
2. Essential Care Organic Rose Petal Tonic (30ml, £7, link)*
I've spoken about this spray toner before and really, really love it. It's just a simple, light and refreshing spritzer that feels great to use when it's hot out. Rose water is known for it's softening properties so it helps to rehydrate skin that has been in the sun all day.
3. Blink & Go Long Lasting Mascara in Black
I generally don't wear a lot of make-up during the summer months, but I do always find myself reaching for a waterproof mascara that I know won't budge in the heat. This one never lets me down and is one of my favourite mascaras in general.
4. The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Blotting Tissues (65 sheets, £4.50, link)
My usually oily/combination skin gets SUPER oily in summer and I prefer to use blotting tissues over powder when it's sunny, because powder can look a bit cakey in the sunlight. These ones have tea tree oil them to help prevent breakouts and blemishes and do the job perfectly.
5. JĀSÖN Revitalizing Citrus Body Wash (900ml, £9.49, link)*
I love citrusy body washes all year round, but especially more so in summer because they're so refreshing. This one from JĀSÖN comes in an enormous bottle with a pump and has a subtle orange and lemon scent to it that means I can use it often without it started to smell too cloying on me. It lathers well and the huge bottle is great value for money.
