Mmm...looking at these pictures I could inhale a Piña Colada right now. Or maybe a Bahama Mama? Might be time for a little after work cocktail ;)
In the meantime, here are some more beachy delights for you. My number one skin tip would always be to use a good body scrub, especially in the summer when you're probably flashing a lot more of it! They feel great, they wake you up and stimulate circulation, and ultimately are wonderful for your skin (particularly if you're prone to spots on your back). Here are two for your body, by The Body Shop and Hei Poa, and one lovely ocean salt facial scrub by Lush. Most good scrubs won't leave you feeling dried out, but if you are always use a nice moisturiser. Try this frangipani-scented Tahitian Hei Poa Monoi Oil!
If you fancy starting your day with some beachy shower gel, how about Philosophy Cabana Girl? Or if you're recreating your own little lagoon at home, Lush Floating Island Bath Melts or The Body Shop Polynesian Spa range are lovely.
Lastly, if you've actually been out in the sun, these are some wonderful After Sun care products from Hawaiian Tropic, Banana Boat and Korres.
There's something about all these coconutty, salty, frangipani fragrances that really put me in a holiday state of mind, and they really lift my spirits when I smell them. Every time I catch a whiff of coconut I'm off and away on an island dream :) Go on, get in the spirit of things now that we actually have some sunshine here! Think Hawaii, Tahiti, Polynesia; beaches, coconuts, fruity rum cocktails, sunscreen, frangipani, and aloe vera, and the smell of sun-warmed skin and sand. I can almost hear the waves now.
