As the sun starts showing its face more often, we all suddenly panic that those bodies that have been kept hidden under the big jumpers and boots are not quite ready for that exposure of summer sandals and strappy camisoles.
However, we’re here to help so please don’t panic! Getting your body and feet summer-ready involves just a quick, revitalizing routine and our head-to-toe strategy can get you glowing and comfortable in no time.
Firstly, Smooth & Soften Your Feet
Remove Dry Skin: One of our favourite new discoveries is the Mii Remove + Smooth Callus Peel. This magic potion helps you say goodbye to hard, dry skin and stubborn calluses for feet that feel super soft and smooth. The ultra-fine micro mist absorbs quickly, powered by Glycolic Acid for super effective exfoliation. Designed to break down dead skin buildup and remove impurities, this targeted treatment helps reveal smoother, healthier-looking feet.
Deep Hydration: Slather on a foot cream containing urea or shea butter to deeply penetrate and repair dry, cracked heels. For an intensive treatment, apply a generous layer and wear cotton socks overnight. We recommend Kiss The Moon Dream Night Cream for feet. The soothing blend of aromatherapy oils with deeply nourishing whipped shea butter help heal dry skin and ease your tired feet while you are sleeping.
Nail Care: Trim toenails straight across to prevent ingrown nails. Gently push back cuticles and apply a finishing shade of summer polish. Mii’s collection of beautiful Colour Confidence Nail Polishes come in array of colours and we have curated our favourite shades on A Beautiful Life.
Flawless & Radiant Body
Exfoliate & Glow: Exfoliate your legs and body in the shower using a scrub or dry brushing to remove dead, flaky skin and prevent ingrown hairs.
For a real treat we suggest the Elan Skincare Hand & Body Scrub Chocolate + Orange. This decadent scrub almost smells good enough to eat and left our skin touchably soft and smooth. If you love chocolate you’ll love this! Although it may make you want to raid the chocolate drawer afterwards…
Lock in Moisture: Hydrate your skin immediately post-shower. Use a rich body lotion or body oil to lock in moisture and give your legs a radiant sheen.
We adore the Olverum Dry Body Oil. Featuring a unique combination of over 30 sustainably sourced botanical oils and essential oils, this super light, fast absorbing spray is designed to leave the skin feeling silken yet non-greasy. Apply to damp, cleansed skin, and massage lightly, paying particular attention to drier areas such as the knees and elbows.
Hydrate from Within: Drink plenty of water and eat juicy summer fruits (like watermelon) to keep your skin naturally plump and minimize heat-induced swelling.
Sun Protection: Protect your exposed legs, arms, and most importantly your face by generously applying an SPF 30 or higher and reapplying every two hours when out in the sun. The Studio 10 Hydra Peptide Fusion Daily Defence SPF30 Moisturiser is a must have Summer staple. This revolutionary anti-ageing moisturiser and SPF in one is non-greasy and is perfect for underneath make-up, so no excuses not to protect your skin.
So now all you need to do is dig out those Summer clothes and sandals and feel confident that you are Summer ready and your body is too!
