Here’s a closer look inside the Keep Your Cool Edit…

REN Clean Skincare Evercalm™ Gentle  Gel Cleanser

50ml travel size, RRP £10 

Gel formulations are ideal cleansers to use in warm weather as they feel refreshing on the skin while still thoroughly cleansing. REN is a long-time favourite brand with beauty editors, and this gentle formula is great for all skin types – especially sensitive complexions or those that tend to get a little shinier in summer.

How to use: 

Use twice daily, in the mornings and evenings as the first step in your skincare routine. Rub an almond-sized amount on the palms of slightly damp hands and gently massage over the face and neck. Rinse off with warm water 

The benefits: 

• Gently refreshes your complexion by removing daily dirt, excess oil, and impurities without drying out the skin
• Strengthening beta-glucan and prebiotic extracts supports your skin’s microbiome and moisture barrier 
• Formulated for sensitive, oily, or combination skin to help protect against future sensitivity flare-ups

Vegan by Happy Skin Avacado + Cermadies Eye Cream

10ml full size, RRP £34.90 

This is the perfect eye cream consistency, in my opinion; it’s moisturising without feeling too thick or heavy on this delicate part of the face. I love the smoothing effect it gives too, instantly minimising fine lines and creating a great base for concealer.

How to use: 

Take a small pea size amount of product and dot it under both your eyes before massaging it in gently. 

The benefits: 

• Rejuvenates tired looking under eyes for a youthful appearance
• Packed with natural anti-oxidants and skin-softening oils to smooth and de-puff the under-eye area 
• Locks in moisture to intensely hydrate and nourish the delicate skin around your eyes

Grüum Iugna Calming Spray with Jasmine & Ylang Ylang

50ml full size, RRP £16

Most beauty editors I know love a face mist – they’re a great way to add an extra layer of hydration into your skincare routine, and provide quick relief in hot weather. This one’s a real treat for your senses as well as your skin, with a mood-boosting scent of jasmine and ylang ylang.

How to use: 

Hold the spray 5-10 inches away from your face and close your eyes. Spritz a few times across your face and inhale deeply. Exhale slowly and relax. Alternatively, you can also spritz this uplifting scent around any space for a mood boost. 

The benefits: 

• Refreshing and uplifting orange and petitgrain helps to physically calm the body by slowing down your pulse rate 
• Energising lime helps bring balance to oily skin and defend against environmental stressors 
• Hydrating aloe vera increases collagen synthesis while soothing, hydrating and repairing inflamed skin

Balance Me Tripeptide  Plumping Cloud Cream

20ml deluxe travel size, RRP £20 

Don’t skip moisturiser when the weather’s warm; instead opt for an airy-yet-effective texture like this Balance Me Cloud Cream. Peptides are a big buzzword in the beauty world, and brilliant ant firming and strengthening the skin. This is the only cloud I’m hoping to see this summer!

How to use: 

Smooth a generous amount over your face, neck and decolletage after cleansing every evening. For an extra dose of plumping power, apply in the morning after cleansing as well. 

The benefits: 

• Deeply hydrates, nourishes, and calms the skin 
• Fights loss of collagen and elasticity, and dehydration in the skin 
• Smooths and refines fine lines, and boosts glow while you sleep 

BEAUTYPRO Super Hydrating Travel Face Sheet Mask

One mask, RRP £6 

This hyaluronic-rich sheet mask is a must after a flight or a long day in the sun. If you’re not quite brave enough to wear it mid-flight, apply it as soon as you get to your final destination to replenish moisture lost from your skin from the aeroplane cabin. This one also gets bonus points for being completely biodegradable – even the packaging.

How to use: 

After removing make-up and cleansing, take the mask from the packaging and gently unfold. Place on your face and leave on for 15-20 minutes. After removing, make sure to scoop up any remaining serum goodness from the packet and massage this into the skin 

Top tip! If the mask appears big at first, don’t be afraid to cut the mask and tighten it to ensure good coverage. 

The benefits: 

• Hyaluronic acid-rich formula intensely hydrates the skin 
• Moisturises and replenishes the skin for a smooth and supple appearance
• Boosts the skin’s natural glow for a healthy and youthful radiance

Bonus mini-book extract from best-selling author Sophie Kinsella’s summer read; The Burnout 

I get through no end of books when I’m on holiday, and I’m excited to add this extract to my summer reading list. A page-turner of a rom-com from one of the UK’s bestselling authors, it’s ideal for taking a moment or two to yourself this summer.
