Mavala Foot And Leg Duo



Feet and legs need attention at this time of year. Mavala’s foot range is one of the best on the market, and there’s an added incentive for buying it. The Foot And Leg Duo ( lookfantastic.com, €35) comes with a free beach bag — and it’s very pretty. In Mavala ‘s turquoise and white brand colours, it’s perfect for taking to the beach or on days out.

Ziaja Sun Antioxidant Face Cream SPF 50+



We all have to strike a balance between getting our daily quota of vitamin D, and looking after our skin too. Ziaja has brought out a new range of suncare for all the family, and it’s functional and affordable — make sure to carry around its Ziaja Sun Antioxidant Face Cream SPF 50+ (€8.99 for 50ml) in your handbag, and pop some on your face after you’ve had some sun exposure to make sure you don’t burn (or, as I’ve recently discovered myself, acquire age spots). Try its After Sun Tan Prolonger too (€4.49 for 200ml) if you do get out in the sun, which will nourish the skin with shea butter, vitamin E and provitamin B5. Available pharmacies nationwide or at orginal beauty.ie

L’Occitane Aromachologie Relaxing bath oil

Whether you’re tired after a long day (or night) or feeling the need for a pep up, L’Occitane has a welcome addition to its Rebalancing collection. Aromachologie Relaxing bath oil (€24) is lightly perfumed with essential oils. Pour two capfuls under running water and let the nourishing sunflower oil do its work while you breathe in the calming scent. The oil turns the water milky meaning you won’t be left with a greasy film on your skin. Climb out and moisturise with Revitalizing Lotion, of the same range(€29).

Origins Smarty Pants CC cream

Origins has come up with a wonder product in its Smarty Pants CC cream. Billed as a skin complexion corrector this has the texture of a light foundation with SPF20, making it perfect for summer wear. It won’t hide major blemishes but does even out the appearance of skin and leave a slightly dewy, demimatte finish. Admittedly for a CC cream it’s at the higher end of the price range but it’s a high-quality product that can be easily applied and blended on the go. What’s more everytime I wear it someone comments on how good my skin looks which, as we all know, is priceless! Available in three shades, €36.
