If you’re fortunate enough to be flying off to sunnier and hotter climes this summer, it’s fairly safe to assume that you will be baring large amounts of skin. As the weather in the UK is mild at the best of times it’s no wonder that for many people, the thought of baring all in a bikini or beach shorts is the stuff that nightmare’s are made of!

It’s never too late to indulge in a little pre-holiday skin preparation though, and it can go a long way in boosting your confidence and ensuring that you can fully enjoy your summer break.

After being clad in thick clothing for months, it’s no surprise that many people suffer with dull and dry skin on their body. This problem can easily be overcome with Dermalogica The Ultimate Buffing Cloth and Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash though. Simply apply the body wash to the buffing cloth and gentle massage over the body- taking extra care to target dry areas. These products will help you to unveil smoother, brighter, beach-worthy skin.

Maximise the effects by liberally applying Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream- for skin that you just can’t wait to show off in your stylish beach wear!

Even though you never know when the next volcano might erupt, if you’re going on holiday in the coming months, you shouldn’t let this stop your preparations in the quest to be the ultimate beach babe!

There are always those who start to panic a week before they’re due to go away- having left those all important preparations until the very last minute! To make sure this isn’t you, and in order to feel as confident as possible when you’re soaking up those gorgeous rays on a beautiful beach, you need to start taking action now.

One of the main causes of a confidence crisis is the condition of the skin on the body, and it’s no surprise. After months and months of being hidden away under numerous layers, skin may be looking a little worse for wear.

Thankfully, it’s easy to get it back into peak condition and smooth enough to sustain a stunning suntan.

Use Dermalogica The Ultimate Buffing Cloth in conjunction with Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash during a bath or shower, for supple and soft skin. It’s always important to moisturise the entire body afterwards, as hot water can strip skin of essential moisture. Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream works wonders on all skin types, and will provide much needed rehydration.

Now, all that’s left to do is go for a shopping spree for those all important bikinis!

For many people, a bath or shower consists of the use of a body wash and a quick application of moisturiser afterwards. However, in order to keep skin looking in tip top condition it’s also important to exfoliate skin regularly.

Many people exfoliate the skin on their face religiously, although neglect body exfoliation completely. Perhaps one of the main reasons for this is the fact that, for much of the year, the body is kept well under wraps- hidden beneath layers of thick clothing. However, it now looks as though the weather is starting to change for the better, and spring is making its mark. The appearance of warmer, sunnier weather also calls for the appearance of more skin though- and this can strike feelings of fear in even the bravest of people!

It needn’t be that way though, as regularly buffing skin will ensure that it is well on its way to being skirt worthy all year round- so you won’t have nightmares about having to bear your blemishes!

Dermalogica’s Ultimate Buffing Cloth is perfect for buffing beginners, and gently gets rid of dull, dead skin that is a prime suspect in the appearance of blemishes- which are a big no-no when you want to bare your legs in the latest mini skirt!

Use in conjunction with Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash for soft, smooth skin that you will be aching to show off!

Putting on the highest pair of stilettos possible is every woman’s prerogative, and the discomfort that can follow is just one of the sacrifices that we make in the name of fashion.

As great as they look, wearing the latest styles of shoes can leave our feet in a bit of a sorry state (you only have to look at Posh’s bunions to see this!)

Wearing ill fitting and uncomfortable shoes are a common cause of cracked heels- which can be both painful and unsightly. There’s no need to confine those stilettos to the back of the wardrobe and reach for the flats though, as you can sooth and repair cracked heels by following a few simple steps.

The first step in your fight against cracked heels is exfoliation. The thought of exfoliating raw, cracked skin may be slightly unpleasant, but trust us- it can make all the difference. Using The Ultimate Buffing Cloth by Dermalogica, in conjunction with Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash, can help to gently but effectively eliminate roughness and reveal fresh, smoother skin.

After exfoliating, your next step is to use an intensive moisturiser, such as Dermalogica Ultra Rich Body Cream- which is specifically designed to intensely hydrate extra dry areas without leaving behind a greasy residue.

So, combat cracked heels and wear your stilettos in style this spring.
