{Previously Gifted} The summer months have finally arrived and that means all of my summer body care products can now come out again. My skin changes quite a bit during the warmer months, it becomes drier and lacks hydration so I need all the most nourishing and hydrating products to keep my skin looking and feeling smooth and healthy and ready for the summer. In today's post, I'll be sharing with you my favourite summer body care products!

Monuskin Walnut & Shea Butter Body Polish* 

When my skin gets some sun and I get a little tan I always tend to peel and my skin becomes really dry, using a body polish is one of the only ways that my skin becomes smooth and feels hydrated. I have used a lot of different body scrubs and polishes before but I have been hooked since trying it a few months ago. This body polish isn't too gritty but just has enough grit to effectively remove all of my dead skin and leave my skin feeling silky smooth. The main ingredients in this scrub include Papaya which has enzymes that gently digest the skin cells and Shea Butter that aids absorption of active ingredients and leaves a protective film over the skin. I like to use this scrub around once or twice a week during the summer depending on how dry my skin is. After using this product my skin really does feel amazingly smooth and hydrated, if we ever get to go on holiday again I will definitely be taking this scrub with me! 

Nivea Refreshingly Soft Moisturising Cream 

Products that I have to use every day during the summer months especially is a good thick moisturising body cream. After doing my body polish I need to add some more moisture to my skin and keep my skin hydrated and smooth. What I like most about this cream is that it is no fills, it doesn't have loads of different ingredients and it does the job. The main ingredients in this cream are Jojoba Oil which is deeply hydrating and nutritious for the skin and Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps nourish and protects the skin. My skin can be sensitive at times and I have never had any issues when using this product and it actually helps to smooth my skin if I do get inflammation from other products. This is a product that I will always have in my body care routine because of how amazing it makes my skin feel.

Bali Body Tanning Oil* 

I have been obsessed with these tanning oils from Bali Body ever since I first reviewed them all the way back in May 2020. These oils are the best to use on the skin on a hot sunny day, they protect the skin with SPF 15 but they also help to tan the skin giving it a gorgeous glow. I have used these oils so many times and it really does help to enhance a natural tan while protecting the skin, what more could you want. Another reason why I really like this oil is that it soaks into the skin in seconds and doesn't leave the skin feeling too greasy or oily. I have both the Watermellon and Grape oils and they are both amazing I couldn't pick just one to add to this list because I love both of them. This will 100% be going in my holiday travel bag as soon as we can get to Jamaica again! 

Malibu Lipcare SPF30 Vanilla Favour 

A lot of people totally forget about their lips when it comes to suncare and to be honest I used to as well that was until one holiday I actually burnt my lips! Since then I religiously apply SPF to my lips all the time but during the summer it is a priority. This lip balm from Malibu has been a favourite of mine for years, I have been using all the different flavours but my favourite has to be Vanilla. This lip balm makes my lips feel super soft and hydrated and the balm are super affordable you can have a different flavour for every day! I keep one of these in my handbags and at home and a spare one at work so I can reapply numerous times throughout the day. 

Soap & Glory Call of Fruity Fragrance Spritz

When I was getting the products together for this post I knew I had to add this fragrance spritz from Soap & Glory. If I could describe summer as a scent it would be this product. The Call of Fruity scent is such a fun and summery scent which I use on a daily basis during the summer.  Whenever I use this product it just reminds me of being on holiday sitting in the sun. For a body spray, this product lasts ages and you can still smell it after a couple of hours of wearing it. I got given this product all the way back in March 2020 and I still have loads of product left and I'll be using this spritz all throughout the summer!

  1. My skin is so dry right now! The moisturizing cream sounds great! A vanilla flavored lip balm is the perfect addition for summer skin care, especially since it offers UV protection.

  4. I swear we are the same person! So many of these are my favourite for summer. Nivea is usually my go to for facial skincare, I'm currently obsessed with their Q10 night cream, it's amazing. I think I must have every single one of Soap & Glory's body sprays too - they're my fave!

  7. Love some soap and glory, their scrub of your life is just amazing! And clean on me is by far one of my favourite body washes. Will have to try and get my hands on the body spritz. Also really like the sound of Bali body.
