If bronzed skin and sun-kissed hair are nothing but a distant memory from your vacation pictures you may be in need of some beauty SOS.
Forget the vacation blues, it's your face, skin and hair that really show the symptoms of summer excess. Here, our experts reveal their tips to transform yourself into an autumnal goddess.
- Hair: Whether you chose a far-flung beach resort or the coast, if you've spent your summer basking in sun, sea and sand, your holiday hangover hair will be crying out for a trim. Book in at the salon pronto to snip away those dead ends.
- Body: Golden skin that doesn't come from a bottle can be short-lived. Come autumn, sun-seekers may find their skin feels tight, dry and dehydrated, with a tan that's fading fast. Daily moisturizing is essential. Turn to a rich tan extender moisturizer to keep your skin glowing into autumn.
- Face: Get your skin back on track after summer with some much-needed hydration. Supping water isn't the only way to keep your face glowing, you can "eat" water too with a diet rich in raw fruit and vegetables to build stronger cells. Using a gentle peel every other day will gently erase sun spots.
- Feet: After a summer of pounding the pavements in flip-flops and sandals, your feet are likely to be at their worst. Treat and protect stressed out tootsies with some intensive care therapy two or three times a week. Attack hard skin by soaking your feet in warm, soapy water, then rigorously exfoliating with a specialist foot exfoliator to slough off those flaky dead skin cells. Pay extra attention to areas where the skin is particularly hard or dry and use apumice stone or foot file if required. Moisturizing after you exfoliate is essential.
