During a heat wave, many of us are bathing or showering twice a day but it often feels too hot to apply a body lotion. Instead, try combining your moisturizing routine with your shower gel by using Elemis Moisturising Milk Bath. This gorgeous formula can be used neat on the skin, poured into the bath or used as a shower gel and will moisturise beautifully whilst cleaning thoroughly. And remember, feet take a real pounding at this time of year. Open sandals can really cause a build up of hard skin on the balls of the foot and heels. Dry, cracked heels always look unsightly and can be really sore so keep on top of the condition by removing any dead skin regularly. Applying a foot cream alone won't do the trick unless you have exfoliated the dead skin first, and it needs to be done on at least a weekly basis. Skin on the feet is the toughest of all, so a good strength exfoliator is needed or if you already have a build up of hard skin you will need a specific product for the job. (Boots the chemist do a great range). Exfoliating the feet can also help with foot odour as it removes those thick, 'waxy' layers of skin where the bacteria that causes the odour lives. Of course, don't leave home without your SPF cream - it's the most important step of your beauty routine at this time of year.
