Summer Body Duos

Gisele Bündchen & Rhea Durham for Dior

If it's healthy, glowing skin you're dreaming of this summer, you are in the right place. We are dishing up a summer body buffet and there are two options on the menu; dessert and a cocktail.

What we really mean is body exfoliators and luxurious body oils. The ultimate duo when all you want is beautiful skin that glistens in the sun by day and shimmers in the strobes by night.

Why save all the attention and treatments for your face? Get your body in on the action and indulge in a spa-like treatment any day of the week; whether you’re prepping for something special, need a regenerating treatment or you’re heading to the beach and need that pre-sun nourishment (don't spare the SPF!) these pretty pairs will have your skin so soft and lovely in no time.

BEACH BODY

Beach day begins in the shower at home, this summery pair will have your skin feeling silky smooth with a bronzed, radiant glow before you catch some rays. Our beach bags are packed in anticipation.

Beach ready in two steps:

  1. Before you hop in the shower, use light, circular strokes starting from the legs up - brushing toward the heart, the way the lymph flows naturally. This will remove the build-up of dead skin cells, smooth dry patches and stimulate lymphatic drainage.

  2. Post-shower, dry your skin off and douse your body in your fave body oil; our pick is the illuminating Cote D'Azur Hair & Body Oil by Oribe. Massage it onto dry, clean skin then allow the oil to dry before dressing.

EASY BREEZY

Whether you are floating out at sea, swanning through the grapevines or perched up under a Pohutakawa tree, this dreamy duo is the essence of breezy summer days.

Two steps and you're out the door:

  1. Scoop Noto's Resurface Scrub into your hand and apply to wet skin. As it foams, gently massage in a circular motion. The Organic Aloe Leaf, Blood Orange, AHAs* and Walnut Shell Dust polish, cleanse and exfoliate. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

  2. Follow up with Tronque's luxurious Fully Ripe Vitamin C Body Oil for a hefty dose of hydration that will leave your skin glistening and mind refreshed thanks to the hints of bergamot, citrus and spearmint. You will want to keep it on hand it's that good.

WE'RE ALL GOING ON A SUMMER HOLIDAY

Put the lime in the coconut, and reap the benefits! We can't all be packing our entire beauty shelf plus the kitchen sink to head off on holiday, but we can slip in some essentials. This summery pair will have your skin feeling fresh and looking nourished before you walk out the door.

colleen recommends:

Take two:

  1. Scrub away cells that have passed their used-by date using Leif's zesty Cavier Lime Body Scrub. Brimming with Vitamin E and C, folate and natural AHAs* plus finely-milled bamboo and pumice for easy exfoliation, polishing away dull skin and dirt.

  2. Accompany your body scrub with Foile's unscented Coconut Body Oil for deeply hydrated and smooth skin, and if you have come after a day in the sun, lather on Coconut Body Oil to replenish essential moisture levels.

REPAIR AND REJUVENATE

This harmonious duo works to resurface, refine and revitalize your skin. It's luxurious yet healing, such a special treat.

colleen recommends:

Relax and rejuvenate in two steps:

  1. Start by using Tronque's Exfoliating Serum to compound repairs, brighten and illuminate damaged skin.

  2. Next, reach for Maryse's Multi-Vitamin Body Oil to complete the experience. Rich in Omegas 6 + 9 and Vitamins A, D and E, Multi-Vitamin Body Oil absorbs quickly and leaves a light, earthy scent of green fig and tea leaves.

*AHA's may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun, please wear SPF and limit sun exposure.
