Hey Guys! So it is officially Summer although the weather doesn't seem to show it. I live in Ireland so what do I expect, it will get sunny sometime. I HOPE! Here are a group of my beauty essentials for the sunny weather during the Summer months. Enjoy x
Skincare,
1. Starting with sun-cream as this is an essential for Summer. I know this is supposed to be worn all year around but I know a lot of us forget. However, in Summer we especially can't forget this as we don't want to look like tomatoes or damage our skin,
2. Next essential is Aloe Vera Gel. It's so amazing to put on sunburned skin as it is cold and soothing. Aloe Vera is so good for your skin anyway so I like to put this on all year round.
3. Moisturiser is so important all the time but especially during the Summer Months. The Vaseline "Spray & Go" Moisturiser will be the moisturiser I'll be using this Summer because it's so cool and refreshing. It's quick drying too so I'll have no excuse to not moisturise as it's so important,
Check out the link below for a review I did on this product, if you haven't read it before.
4. I hate talking about feet so I'll get this part over quick, haha. Basically foot creams are essential because our feet are exposed a lot more in the Summer so it's nice to make sure they're looking and feeling their best.
I love the Soap&Glory "Heel Genius" foot cream as it is really moisturising and has little beads in it to soften your feet also.
Haircare.
1. Hair oils/mask treatments. Moroccan/Argon oils are essential as they keep my hair moisturised and healthy which is so important during the Summer as it will thank me in the Winter.
My favourite hair treatment is massaging coconut oil into my scalp but that leaves my hair greasy after washing it but works wonders. Won't explain much as it is a future blog post!
2. Heat Protection Sprays for your hair. Like our skin, hair gets damaged and dry from the heat so it's so important to protect your hair from the sun.
Even if you're not using a hair styling tool, it's important to use a heat protection spray because the sun is just as damaging.

It's better to use a sea salt spray than a heat tool so I really like it, plus it smells so good. I use the Toni&Guy spray but I've used the L'oreal Studio Line also and that's super good too.
t's an essential of mine anyway in case my hair gets greasy but it's so good for volume too. Batiste is the brand I use.
Other Essentials.
1. Bright coloured nail polish. Summer is the time you can splash out with the crazy bright nail colours. I am looking forward to doing this, this Summer as I have been growing my nails. I have the terrible habit of biting my nails.
2. If you're someone like me and can suffer with oily skin sometimes than face powder is an essential for you also. i don't like to wear makeup too much during the Summer but when I do I have to have this with me.
3. Lip balm is another essential for all times of the year but for the Summer you need a lip balm that has an spf. The heat is very drying on your lips and can burn them which isn't fun.
4. As I mentioned before I don't like to wear too much makeup on an everyday basis so I like to make sure my brows are "on fleek" haha. Eyebrows are the focus point on anyone's face so I put time into making them look nice.
I am fortunate to have quite dark and thick brows so I don't have to do much work but I like to fill them in lightly with an Essence brow pencil to fill in the patches, nothing special but it does the job.
*****
That's all the beauty essentials I can think of but let me know if I've forgotten any. I am planning on doing a "Summer Fashion Essentials" soon too so follow me to be updated. Have a great week!
