The Best Beauty Products You Need By the Beach

The New Beauty Products You Need This Summer

I love sharing my favourite beauty products with you, whether they be the best of luxury beauty or otherwise. Today I wanted to share the best new summer beauty products that I loved (and even finished some of them!) while I was by the beach in Jamaica. All these products are perfect to take care of yourself during the heat and under the summer sun. I’m including the best suncare, including the best SPF and after sun care lotion, my favourite salt spray to get the best beach waves and an amazing serum to keep your skin healthy and glowing. Your summer skin is about to thank you! Comment below with which of these products you’ll be trying this summer.

Gisou Honey Hair Oil

I think this is one of my holy grail hair products for sure. I am very particular about what I put on my hair so I would only recommend the best to you. I love this Gisou hair oil because it’s paraben and sulphate free; it’s only full of the good stuff for your hair! You only need a couple of drops to instantly feel the moisture in your hair. I use this everyday in London but I was using it much more in Jamaica to hydrate my hair after sun exposure and the salt water from the ocean!

I bought my second bottle in January and I’m not even half way through it so you know this product lasts a while!

Rituals Suncare Range

This was my first time trying out the Rituals suncare range and I was so pleasantly surprised. Their sunscreen comes in SPF 30 and 50 (I opted for 30) and I loved the milky texture of it. It hydrates your skin while protecting you from UV Rays. It is also water resistant so you know you’ll be protected while you’re in the water!

To all my fellow brown girls, I know that tanning isn’t always our favourite thing but I actually love a good tan! Sometimes we struggle to get that perfect golden colour under the sun but the trick to achieving the perfect tan is having the right after sun care. The Rituals after sun care has aloe vera in it so it’s very soothing and cooling and it also helped me to get the colour I wanted! Five stars to this range!

Gisou Wave Spray

I struggle with wave sprays but the Gisou wave spray works so perfectly in my hair and helps me achieve those amazing beach waves! Again, like all Gisou products, there are no harmful chemicals in here so you know it’s okay to use in your hair! After washing my hair I would spritz this on and then scrunch my hair in a bun for a few hours!

The next day, I had the perfect beach waves! Totally continuing this while I’m in London too!

Perricone MD Cold Plasma +

I’ve recently changed up my skincare routine and it consists of mainly Perricone MD! They are one of the oldest apothecaries in the world so they really know what they are talking about. Their latest product is called Cold Plasma + and is an amazing everyday serum to help brighten and firm your skin. I did their seven day trial while I was away and I got so many compliments about how my skin had an amazing glow! I have this amazing cream to thank for that. I love that it’s quite light weight so it doesn’t clog your pores up in the heat and humidity!

The Ouai Rose Body & Hair Oil

The Ouai is another haircare brand that I love but my favourite product is actually their Rose Body Oil! This oil is multi-purpose so you can use it on your hair too, but I like to use it on my body after the shower in the summer to get glowing skin (make sure you put it on your elbows, collarbone and knees!). It also smells amazing and gives my skin the hydration it needs without being too much!

Another product that I think will become one of your favourites for a long time!

Speaking of The Ouai, the shampoo that I carry on me for beach holidays is their Clean Shampoo! I love it because it isn’t drying on your hair (especially if you have to wash your hair everyday! I don’t usually wash my hair daily but on a beach holiday you have to!) and is also totally paraben and sulphate free!

I saw this T-Shirt and I fell in love. Not only is it less expensive than a lot of other high end designer t-shirts, it’s also one of the coolest ones ever. I love that it’s an acid wash effect and that although it’s a logo tee, it’s still under stated.

LOVE IT!

One of the latest perfumes to come enter the scene is from Chloé! It’s a total dream to be a Chloé girl but until then I have this beautiful fragrance to keep me company! It’s got a very sweet citrus smell to start that later turns into a more earthy scent. It’s perfect for spring and summer.

I’ll be covering it in more detail next week so stay tuned for that post on Wednesday! It’ll be my first cover on a fragrance so I’m really excited to share!

Spring means it’s time for denim jackets! Last year I couldn’t stop wearing my beautiful Joie embroidered jacket (I mean I’m still going to wear it like crazy this year!) and this year I’m obsessing over this gorgeous piece from Rolla’s; a super cool Aussie brand available on Revolve!

This one is under £100 and totally amazing for spring!

How cute is this? You could literally pair it with anything!

I take haircare very seriously and I’m obsessive about my hair! The latest addition to my arsenal is the Gisou hair mask! I’m a huge fan of the Gisou range and I’m so excited to try this out! I’ll have more details for you guys about it soon but till then…

How I Get My Hair Shiny: My Hair Secrets Revealed!

The Secret to Shiny Hair Revealed…

Haircare has been an important part of my beauty routine forever. I take great pride in my hair and I like to maintain the thickness as much as I can. One of the goals we all have, is how to get shiny hair. We all want hair that is thick, healthy, shiny and soft right? It might seem like it takes an army, but great hair is around the corner. Today, I’m revealing to you the secret behind my haircare routine and all the products I use to get my hair where it needs to be!

Just keep scrolling for the answers to all your hair care woes! If I haven’t answered one of them, feel free to ask me about it in the comments or share your favourite hair tips with me!

For Cleaner Hair Quickly: Ouai Dry Shampoo Foam

So I usually avoid dry shampoo. I hate the texture it leaves on my hair and it always makes me feel ickier. This was until I discovered this dry shampoo foam! I know that the texture isn’t necessarily for everyone but I feel cleaner when I use it (I know it’s a quick fix but still!) and I like that it doesn’t leave my hair feeling dry!

For Beach Waves: GHD Wand or Ouai Surf Spray

Depending on how much time I have, I opt for one of the following products for that beach wave look.

If I’m low on time, which I usually am, I use the Ouai Surf Spray. I find a quick spritz of this into wet hair gives you that beach hair look pretty quickly!

If I’m on my way out for something more special, I find that this GHD wand is the best in the business. The shape of the wand is more rectangular which gives you those looser beachy waves!

Remember, I usually try and air-dry my hair as much as possible and if I really want those waves, I just braid my hair for a couple of hours and let it go! That’s also an easy way to get waves!

For Heat Protection: Gisou Propolis Heat Protect Spray

If you blow dry your hair, or curl it, or use any type of heated product on it, remember that you need to use some sort of heat protective spray. A lot of heat protector sprays have quite a few chemicals in them and are not really good for your hair or for your skin! That’s why, for healthier hair, I use the Gisou Heat Protect Spray. I like that it’s all-natural and doesn’t have harmful chemicals!

For Shiny Hair & Softer Ends: Gisou Honey Hair Oil

This is a newer addition to my haircare routine. When I was younger, oiling my hair was a part of my everyday routine so it’s no surprise that some sort of hair oil has followed me to my adulthood.

I love using the Gisou oil on the ends of my hair. It softens my hair and gives me shiny hair as well! I’ve noticed that it does help with my split ends too!

The best part is that although it’s a bit pricey, you only need a few drops for a great effect, so it lasts for a long time!
