Summer Beauty Must-Haves
The hot temperatures of summer and my sensitive pale pink skin are not exactly friends. I rely on these products to keep my skin exfoliated, cool, hydrated, and smooth.

| Azure Window, Malta. June 2016. |
This hydrating gel cream is lightweight and seems to keep my skin hydrated for the balmier days of spring and summer. I usually layer this in between my serum and balancing oil for extra moisture. This gel also smells great and the pump bottle keeps everything clean and sanitary. I hate getting moisturisers in jars because keeping the jar and product hygienic takes a bit more effort. ie. constant washing of hands.

| Jurlique Advanced Eye Serum |
Another lightweight stunner in my skincare routine. I recently started using this eye serum because I'm not a big fan of the ultra-creamy eye creams out there on the market. If its lightweight, moisturises well, smells good, and works - I'm a fan! Jurlique products are from natural sources and I go to their spa for facials every now and then to give my skin a good cleaning and brightening. Their products work well on my sensitive-prone skin. This eye cream keeps the area around my eyes looking bright and hydrated.

| Jurlique Skin Balancing face oil |
Last year, I moved to the mountains and drier climates. I needed some extra-duty moisturisers and was recommended to try this balancing oil for extra moisture by the facialist at Jurlique spa. I've been pretty hooked on this since then. I use it almost daily and notice the difference when I skip this extra layer of moisture to my routine. A small amount of this oil seems to act as a humectant and keep my skin hydrated all day. I was never really a fan of face oils until I discovered this product. As we get older, the ability to create natural oils within our body seem to diminish so we need a little extra boost from our nutrition and skincare routine to keep our skin from drying up. This little balancing oil will be in my skincare arsenal for a while.

| Nars Multiple in Orgasm |
The multiple sticks that Nars cosmetics has are brilliant. Its perfect for traveling as it can be used for cheeks, eyes, and lips. I like to use it as a blush and eyeshadow base. Orgasm is Nars #1 best-selling blush for many years now and it is a peachy-blush with some highlighters inflected in the formula. I've been into cream blushes for the past few years and the application of this with fingers makes it fool-proof easy and fast. I also use the Laguna illuminator cream as a bronzer and contour and will soon purchase the multiple stick in Copacabana as my highlighter when my current highlighter runs out. Creams and sticks are good for glowing summer skin and they are also lightweight enough to wear to the beach without looking like a clown.

| Molton Brown Eucalyptus Body Wash |
I'm obsessed with this body wash and have been for a while. I tend to take my daily showers at night before bedtime so I need to have relaxing scents in the shower. Eucalyptus is the scent that puts me in the sleepy time state of mind. I've tried other Eucalyptus body washes and shower gels but Molton Brown's version is the most potent Eucalyptus scent I've found. I stock up on this body wash whenever I can.

| Rituals Hammam Olive Secret shower paste |
I exfoliate my skin 1-2 times a week in the shower to get rid of dead skin cells and the built up grime that accumulates especially if I'm traveling on the road and constantly out and about. This shower paste has tiny exfoliating particles that creates enough friction to exfoliate my skin thoroughly. I use this on a loofah for a bit of extra exfoliation. Rituals is available in Europe so I purchase this whenever I'm in the vicinity of a Rituals store and running low. This tube lasts me about 4-6 months though because I don't use it everyday like I do with my Molton Brown body wash.
