Post-summer rescue<br />
Once the tan fades it’s time to call in the hardest working beauty products<br />
to restore, refresh and rejuvenate. We asked HELEN GOUGH, from Harvey<br />
Nichols Birmingham, to share her favourite skincare saviours<br />
Your summer holiday may well have left you<br />
feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, but chances are<br />
that gorgeous summer glow hides a multitude<br />
of sins. Too much sun, sea and soaring<br />
temperatures can have quite a drying effect on<br />
our skin. So once the colour starts to fade, it’s<br />
time to pull out beauty’s big guns to face up to<br />
those post-holiday issues.<br />
The multi-tasking<br />
Nourishing<br />
Cleansing Oil from<br />
Skin Laundry, £26,<br />
removes stubborn dirt<br />
and impurities leaving<br />
your skin clean, healthy<br />
and hydrated. Tea tree<br />
oil helps fight breakouts<br />
and blemishes.<br />
ESPA’s Skin Rescue Balm, £28,<br />
soothes, protects and strengthens dry or<br />
sensitive skin. Blackcurrant seed, vine<br />
extract and essential oils replenish while<br />

Refreshingly lush<br />
and lightweight,<br />
Estée Lauder<br />

your skin; purifying<br />

cleanse with Rodial Super<br />
Acids X-treme After Party<br />
