Beauty Notes: Summer Glow Saviours
This is your guide to the top 6 beauty essentials for summer.
There’s something about the summer heat that calls for a lighter approach to beauty. As the days get longer and temperatures climb, heavy formulas often take a back seat in favour of radiance, breathable skincare and products to compliment your natural sun-enhanced glow. But achieving that fresh, sun-kissed look takes more than simply swapping out your moisturiser.
From protecting your skin against daily UV exposure, to boosting hydration and adding warmth and luminosity to your complexion, a well-curated summer beauty routine can make all the difference. The key is choosing hardworking formulas that keep skin looking healthy, hydrated and glowing, whether you're jetting off abroad or making the most of the sunshine at home.
From Charlotte Tilbury and Tom Ford Beauty to Clarins, Givenchy Beauty and Guerlain, these are the beauty essentials to have on your radar this season.
