Kevin Muprhy Hair Screen

hair products,sun screen,hair kevin muprhy Unless you\'re planning on spending your summer out of the sea and in the shade, you\'ll need to consider an effective form of protection for your hair. The UV filters will keep colour fade at bay while the essential oil-enriched hair lotion also has holding power, so after an energetic frolic in the waves you\'ll emerge looking far less creature from the deep and far more Ursula Andress. Nice

Origins Paradise Found Balinese Body Glow

body scrub,Origins origins paradise I think it\'s always essential to travel with products that smell delicious, because it makes every experience more evocative and similarly, once returning, a quick sniff of your holiday product will transport you straight back to the beach. It doesn\'t get much yummier, or more exotic, than this. Coconut, papaya, pineapple and orange create the perfect holiday cocktail and it\'s essential for sloughing off dry and flaky skin

Aveda Hair Detoxifier

hair products,Aveda aveda Getting hair clean on holiday can sometimes be a trial – sand, salt, product and sweat can make for some sticky situations. This bottle of soothing-smelling sap is filled with organic aloe, which is purposefully formulated to remove the toughest residues, will leave hair squeaky clean and shiny too
£8.50 Stockists: 0800 074 7712

Avon Footworks Scrub & Renewing Treatment

foot cream,skincare avon footworks I\'m a bit of a foot freak and am constantly worrying that my heels are not up to scratch – so I\'ve tried a LOT of scrubs and creams in a quest to get peachy pinkies. Then these tubes landed on my doormat and I haven\'t looked back. The Pedi-Brasion Scrub is so good (it contains diamond dust!) that it rivals salon-grade treatments and the AHA Renewing Treatment is extremely rich, soothing and smoothing. My tootsies are hooked

Burt Bee\'s Citrus Facial Scrub

beauty_products,face_scrub citrus burt bees No one should jet off without a good facial scrub packed in their bag. Scrubs help the skin to continually renew and are great if you\'ve spent too much time in the sun. This orange-scented scrub also uses rose petals, oats, spices and ground almonds to give skins an invigorating clean

Garnier Clean & Soft Double-sided Wipes

cleanser,Garnier garnier cleanse I\'m not a huge fan of wipes, preferring to have a thorough wash and scrub instead, but I wouldn\'t dream of travelling without them. They always come in handy – whether you\'re touching up make-up in the plane bathroom or freshening up at the beach – and these refreshing, non-greasy, oil- and alcohol-free wipes tick all the boxes
£4.35 Available at Boots stores nationwide

Dermalogica The Bar

cleanser,Dermalogica dermalogica bar If half the space in your suitcase is normally reserved for your vanity case (don\'t worry, I can relate…), it\'s time you did some serious downsizing and nothing\'s more practical than this soap-sized cleanser. Fear not though, it\'s totally soap-free and is instead packed with skin clearing goodies like Tea Tree and Lavender, which not only rids skin of all nasties, but it also keeps the bar sanitized if you end up in a shared bathroom. Genius
£10.60 Stockists: www.dermalogica.com or www.hqhair.com

Biore Self-Heating Mask

Not only will it clear out any unsightly impurities, but it will also impart brightness and radiance to flagging complexions
