i wash my hair with TRESemme keratin smooth 7 day smooth system shampoo and conditioner. they leave my hair feeling so silky smooth and really do make a difference when i dry and straighten my hair. I find them better than any salon brands ive used. Once ive towel dried my hair i brush it through and use Tresemme keratin smooth 7 day smooth system heat protection spray and run Elvive smooth intense serum through the ends of my hair.  I then proceed to blow dry and straighten my hair. i find these products teamed together gives me smooth and straight hair that lasts all day.

- leave your hair natural now and again to keep your hair in good condition and to give it a rest.

everyone's hair is different and i can't guarantee these tips and products will work for you but they really helped me and i hope they will for you!

Peaches and clean face wash - I love this face wash it melts away all my makeup and leaves my face feeling so soft and clean. I find this face wash so moisturising unlike many face washes which have left my face feeling tight. The scent of peaches of clean is lovely so fresh and fruity. This face wash was part of my skin care routine for ages until quite recently and I would happily use it again I just fancied a change. 

Sugar crush whipped body cream - this moisturiser is brilliant when your skin is feeling dehydrated it's so rich and moisturising, despite being a rich moisturiser it sinks it quite quickly and doesn't leave you sticky. The scent of sugar crush is quite unusual, it's citrusy and I personally think a bit like marmite you'll either love it or hate it. I personally love it, sweet scents are nice but I love refreshing sharper scents too. A little goes a long way with this moisturiser so even though it's a bit more expensive than your average body cream it really does last you. 

Scrub your nose in it - when I have a pamper night I love a face mask or scrub and this is brilliant as its a two in one. It's great at reducing pores, blackheads and makes a noticeable difference after just one treatment. Overall brilliant scrub that does the job but isn't to harsh on the skin. 

Hand food - in the winter I really suffer with dry cracked hands and find hand food is amazing at rescuing them. It's sinks it quickly which is brilliant for working hands and leaves them moisturised for hours. You can also purchase a travel sized version which is great for your handbag or to trial out.  

Heel genius- when you get your sandals out and realise your feet need some tlc heel genius is the foot cream to go for. I tend to apply this in the evening, put cotton socks over the top and leave them until the morning then I wake up to soft supple feet. The scent of heel genius is minty and leaves your feet feeling lovely and fresh. 

Soap and glory continue to bring out amazing products and I can't wait try out more!

Foundation with spf - I'm rather pale, I  burn easily and I hate normal sun cream or my face it just makes my face feel greasy. Instead of cream I use Rimmel London's 25 hour foundation it gives an amazing Matt coverage, it's long lasting and protects your skin.

Vaseline - I know this is is a very basic product but the sun tends to dry out my lips and Vaseline really helps to restore the moisture they have lost.   

Dove summer sun- when you get your dresses and shorts out the pasty legs have to go! Dove summer sun gives a lovely natural glow after a few applications. It's great because its buildable you could have a natural glow from 1 or 2 applications perhaps for an  event or you could apply daily religiously for a bronzed deeper tan. 

well those are a few products that I find are must haves in the summer! What are yours?
