The Ultimate Summer Self-Care Beauty & Haircare Essentials

Hi everyone and welcome to today's beauty blog post! Today I am bringing you some of my latest beauty and haircare must-haves for that all important self-care that you need to be showing yourself. So go grab yourself a cup of tea and allow me to introduce you to some fab new products that are perfect additions to your Summer 2021 beauty regime!

Show Yourself Some Love This Summer

I think that a really important part of self-care is making yourself feel pampered. A really easy way to do that is to give yourself an at home manicure. Many of us have become very good at doing our own nails over the last year and a bit, and I'm going to introduce you to some of my new fave ever nail polishes, because not only are these in the prettiest shades which are perfect transitional colours for going from the summer into the early Autumn months, they are also made from 79% natural ingredients which I think is brilliant. The brand who create these lovely polishes is called Earthy and I love their ethos and the products they have. Their plant-based, vegan nail polishes are a perfect treat to yourself or someone you love, and as they are so natural, they don't have a strong aroma which lasts for ages like most chemical based polishes.

I have one of their quad nail polish collections called the 'In Bloom Collection' with four of the pretties shades in. I most recently used the baby pink shade called 'Maya's Rose' and it lasted so well on my nails and it looks so beautiful as well. You can shop this collection here on Amazon!

Haircare Hero 

Only Curls are the creators of some of the most wonderful haircare for curly girls and their range has a whole host of loveliness in it to choose from. For the summer though, especially when your hair is going through a lot especially now going out can happen again, (I'm thinking dry shampoo, products of every variety and styling on the regular), giving your scalp some TLC is vitally important, as a healthy scalp is necessary for healthy hair too. 

Their Scalp Scrub is enriched with Himalayan salt and sugar crystals, which are perfect for helping you to deeply exfoliate your scalp. This product helps to gently remove impurities and unwanted build-up. The addition of avocado and Marula oil helps to soothe the skin and provide natural hydration. This is truly a product of balance, so for those with a sensitive scalp it's ideal, as it both cleanses and hydrates. Win win! 

You can check out the Exfoliating Scalp Scrub on the Only Curls website here

Cleanse The Day Away, Gently

SOS Cleanse has a brilliant cleansing balm which is gentle and perfect for clearing the skin of impurities and make up at the end of the day. It is also ideal for sensitive skin, so if you tend to find cleansers a bit overly stripping to your skin's natural oils, this is a fab option for you. It rehydrates the skin at the same time that it cleanses it, with its lightweight formula that is non-greasy and non-comedogenic. 

It is infused with blue daisy extracts, that help to balance the skin whilst de-sensitising and boosting its natural moisture barrier. It's also cruelty-free, vegan, plant-based and free from parabens, mineral oils and fragrances. A skincare lover's dream product for easy and effective daily use. Read more about the SOS Rehydrating Facial Cleanser and shop it here on their website or shop it here on Amazon.

SOS Cleanse also do a brilliant SPF 50 face cream or a H2o based SPF 30 face cream too! Both great for helping protect your skin in the sun and for daily use from UVA and UVB rays.

Holiday Prep Essentials

Okay so if you are heading away on holiday (firstly, please take me with you!) then you'll love this next product. Sugar Coated have a range of different vegan sugar waxes and their leg hair removal sugar wax is enriched with rosehip oil which soothes the skin whilst you wax. Perfect for achieving long-lasting smoothness! (They also make a full body sugar wax that you can use wherever is necessary and a wax specifically for underarms too!)

Whether you are going on holiday, heading off for a staycation or simply making the most of time at home and catching rays in the garden, these lovely products will help you to add some newness to your daily routine and make you look and feel your best.
