10 steps to summer perfect skin:

Every year we write about how to keep our skin youthful and safe during summer and yet again we feel that it is the topic worth revisiting. Here are our 10 tips for looking gorgeous this summer.

 1.  This goes without saying – every day, wear SPF on all parts of the skin that are going to be exposed to sun. Try Cell Mate 15 – Face Crème & Sunscreen or Everyday SPF 15 Moisturiser that can be used on face and body both from Kiss My Face.

2.  For beach babes Boutique Vive has a great choice of time tested suncare products to help protect your skin from premature ageing, wrinkles and cancer. Some can even be used on kids (check the instructions). We like Face Factor SPF 30 and Sunspray Lotion SPF 30 .

3.  Keep hydrated and we have got just the thing to keep your H2O nice and cool. Aqua di Principessa - This eco-chic alternative to plastic is safely lined so there is no leaking and it’s BPA free.

4.  While you having your 8 glasses a day, don’t forget about hydration of the skin. Lightweight Yttrium Day Cream hydrates, smoothes and regulates the skin while protecting it from the harsh effects of the environment – must for the urban princesses. Our rich moisturiser Under Age will not only moisturise and regenerate your skin but will also help to stall skin ageing process. To brighten and even skin tone we recommend using Brightening Day Cream that also has a natural mineral sunblock.

5.  Protect your hair colour from fading – the finishing spray Block Your Locks from Miss Oops with SPF 15 prevents colour from fading between hair appointments from sun exposure.

6.  Exfoliate!!! We recommend our 2 bestselling scrubs from Principessa to prepare your skin to soak up the sun or to protect against splotchiness when using a self-tanner. For dry skins go for Amore Afterglow Salt Buff and for normal skins try Delizia Mia Sugar Polish – your body will thank you for that.

7.  Shave before surf, sun or applying self- tanner. It will help you to get a beautiful silky skin and your tan or fake tan will be nice and even. Why not try natural Moisture Shaves from Kiss My Face that will leave your skin moisturised and soft.

8.  After you exfoliated and shaved use body lotion to prime your skin. We have tons to choose from; deliciously scented Dolce Dreams, lightweight Erbium, natural and organic body moisturisers from Kiss My Face will surely suit every taste (we love Almost Butter and Lavender & Shea Butter Moisturisers ), then we have a few to choose from Tuscany Idea that is currently on sale and worth checking.

9.  During summer months our heals cry for more attention: our Bestseller of 2009 is still going strong – Pedicure In A Bottle exfoliates and hydrates your feet, Peppermint Foot Crème will leave your feet soft, smooth and healthy while Pretty Piede Foot Balm is just like you have had a pedicure at the spa.

10. To get rid of puffiness and undereye bags use Eye Witness – Eye Repair Crème . Keep it in the fridge for instant refreshing feel.
