Eyeslices
"These are the perfect solution for tired, puffy hot eyes especially if you keep them in the fridge. Simply wipe off any excess residue then place the green gel-like eye pads on each eye, lay back and do....nothing! Even after just one minute with these clever soothing Eyeslices on, my eyes felt wide awake and refreshed. Plus they are reusable so worth the splurge."

Simple Refreshing Facial Wash Gel
"By the time I get home all I want to do is wash away the day\'s dirt and grime and Simple\'s Refreshing Facial Wash did just the job. As well as taking off all my make-up, my skin felt truly revived and refreshed. My skin also felt soft and smooth and, unlike many other facial washes, it didn\'t dry it out. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants their skin to feel fresh for a mere £2.99! It\'s perfect even if you just save it for extra ‘hot\' days and holidays."

The Body Shop Vitamin C Energising Face Spritz
"Unfortunately our office doesn\'t have much air con so I kept this handy spray on my desk for those mid-afternoon hot flushes. The spray comes out in a fine mist and it smells like freshly cut oranges. My skin instantly felt cooler but my make-up wasn\'t disturbed which was a bonus. The smell really lifts you if you are flagging in the heat too so it\'s more than a wake-up call for skin."

Aromatherapy Associates Support Lavender & Peppermint
"I loved the packaging of this luxury bath and shower oil. If you apply it to your body before you get in the shower like I did, you will really see the benefits of its refreshing natural oil concoction. It literally wakes up your senses, sleepy mind and hot skin instantly - wham! Use it in the morning after a humid night for a real energising hit."

Caudalie Grape Water
"This refreshing grape water is 100% plant-based and extracted straight from grapes, making it ideal for sensitive skin. I go to the gym regularly so this cooling, moisturising spray was great for throwing in my bag and spritzing on after a shower or workout. I have very sensitive skin so expected my skin to still feel tight after such a light misting but I found this natural spray was enough to leave my skin feeling clean and soft. The cooling effect is also great for those hot, humid days when your skin feels irritated or parched from the sun making it a great holiday purchase too."
