There is nothing better than a fragrant bar of soap to lift your spirits in the shower. Of course, it’s made better when the beauty bar you are using is one made of 100% virgin olive oil.
An anti-inflammatory and high in antioxidants, virgin olive oil in skincare, is an ingredient that is nourishing to skin in need of moisture.

2. Failing that, using an antioxidant serum underneath sunscreen acts as an extra protective layer – we recommend looking out for those containing white tea.
3. Don’t put everything on the SPF number, the actual difference from SPF 15 onwards is not as large as you’d expect; the most important thing is to apply sunscreen at regular intervals, particularly if you’re keeping busy or taking a dip. Don’t be fooled into thinking that a high SPF is going to keep you covered all day. Read more
