Style Icon’s The F’n’B Word: Five Beauty Essentials For Your Summer Handbag.
There’s definitely an extra spring in everyone’s step as the days get warmer and the nights caress the summer breeze. Now is the time to declutter your wardrobe making way for brighter and lighter items of clothing and accessories. In preparation for summer, we need to adopt a more holistic approach not forgetting that fashion and beauty are very much intertwined so why would we pay attention to one and not the other. As well as investing in key spring/summer fashion trends couple this with an investment buy of beauty essentials that will add an extra glow to your sun-kissed skin. I, for one, do not leave home without my make-up bag including my most recent purchase of dermalogica skincare products from Cucumba – the urban pitstop. During a busy day, I find these skincare products perfect for when I need to refresh my skin especially when going out after work. I now have my very own emergency beauty kit for those moments when tired skin and eyes need an uplift. On that note, I would like to share with you 5 beauty essentials that will sit pretty in your summer handbag.
- In order to rejuvenate your skin start with dermalogica’s special cleansing gel which forms into a refreshing lather once applied to wet skin. If you have sensitive skin I highly recommend dermalogica products as they contain no artificial fragrance or colour.

2. After cleansing place a small amount of daily microfoliant into wet hands, which is a Rice-based exfoliating powder, rub together to create a creamy paste and then massage onto your face for 1 minute then rinse. This left my skin feeling soft and revitalised.

3. If you’d prefer a product enriched with age-fighting ingredients then it’s worth trying dermalogica’s multivitamin thermafoliant skin polisher which helps to enhance penetration of age-fighting vitamins into your skin. For a more intense result it is recommended to use this product on dry skin and then rinse off after 1 minute.

4. A good moisturiser is key to healthy looking and vibrant skin which is why dermalogica’s skin smoothing cream is a cut above the rest. This medium-weight moisturiser contains Grape Seed Extract as well as vitamins C and E to help protect the skin from damaging environmental factors.

5. Lastly, we all need a good hand cream for when our hands become dry throughout the day. I have dry skin so tend to buy creams that cater for this. Dermalogica’s intense multivitamin hand and nail treatment in one left my hands feeling moist and chapped-free. I would advise you to massage this cream into your cuticles so your nails also get the nourishment they need. A cute little pouch came with my products in which to keep them which is also very useful for travelling as they meet the standard airport rules for liquids.

I recently attended an event at Harvey Nichols having put the above products to the test in preparation for the event. For this reason, I opted for light eye make-up and plum coloured lips using Provoc lip pencil of which Cucumba stock the entire range. Since using dermalogica products I feel more confident in my own skin. Looking and feeling good starts from within so the right beauty and fashion products are supposed to enhance the good qualities you already have.
