You can sizzle away from the sunshine
Feeling faded and frazzled as soon as you step off the plane? Stephanie Smith seeks out post-holiday rescue measures
Don't forget that intense Mediterranean sun does damage skin and dry it out, so take a leaf from the ancient Egyptians and try luxurious, pure and natural cleansing and moisturising fragranced with the sweet aromas of rose and neroli combined with tranquil, calming frankincense and myrrh – all found in the organic Cleopatra bath and body range from Harrogate based CocoonU. The Body Lotion 19 is for 250ml, from.cocoonuorganic.co.uk or the Harrogate boutique at Montpellier Mews.
Hair also takes a beating thanks to sun and swimming. There is a new rescue remedy courtesy of the Clynol Moisture+ range, designed to transform dull and brittle hair into healthy, glossy and strong locks with natural bamboo milk. Clynol Moisture+ Hydrate Shampoo costs 7.95 and the Moisture+ Dream 2-Phase Leave-In Conditioner costs 8.95) from Clynol salons and online at www.hairsupermarket.com or on 01296 314 000 or visit www.clynol.com.
Squeeze more life out of your summer glow with Soltan Aftersun Tan Prolonger, which has self-tanning ingredients within a moisturising aftersun formula. It costs 5.49 for 200ml. For your face, apply a daily dose of Soltan Once Face with Gradual Tan (SPF25 or 15), 9.25 for 50ml, under your make-up every morning to keep yourself protected – yes, even in Yorkshire – and build up a natural looking glow.
If you have come back a little redder than you had hoped, try a few drops of ARK's Anti-Redness SkinResponse Serum which contains a complex of Arnica, Cypress and Solomon's to reduce redness caused by blemishes, sun exposure, skin irritation, inflammatory conditions and embarrassment. Apply two or tree drops to your face. It costs 34 for 30ml from.arkskincare.com and on: 020 7938 1898.
