My summer holiday isn\u2019t for a few weeks yet, but I do like to get the prep in early\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I always say, no pamper routine is complete without a good body polishin\u2019 \u2013 I am really tucking in to my &amp; Other Stories Belleville Bakery Body Scrub (\u00a35) at the moment. I can\u2019t even sum up how much I love this stuff, it\u2019s the best exfoliating scrub ever. Imagine a polishing, gooey scrub that lathers up on contact with skin, resulting in an effortless routine for instantly smooth, supple skin \u2013 and then multiply that by a million. You\u2019re getting there. Then there\u2019s the scent\u2026 good Lord, the scent. You get the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also have a lot of time for the latest Clarins tanning release, the Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster (\u00a323.40). Clarins do the best self-tanners ever, in my humble opinion, and these tanning drops are something else. I\u2019ve had the face version for a while, and I\u2019m so happy there\u2019s a body version to match. You can tailor the result to suit you, I use maybe three drops per blob of body lotion and that works for me. It\u2019s a simple way to get a lovely dose of colour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One product that I absolutely swear by for pre-summer preening is the This Works Perfect Heels Rescue Balm (\u00a316), easily the best foot cream ever. After spending an entire winter in boots, my feetsies need some TLC \u2013 which is where this comes in. It\u2019s an exfoliating balm that works to reduce hard skin and overall pamper the feet \u2013 even one use (I apply it at night and put some cotton socks on) really does wonders for unsightly feet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, a new release and something I just have to have a small squeal about \u2013 Est\u00e9e Lauder Bronze Goddess Shimmering Body Oil. Yup, it\u2019s a thing and it\u2019s just as delicious\/incredible\/nourishing as you would expect \u2013 it smells heavenly, has just the right amount of shimmer, and a whole lot of softening action from the dry oil. Plus the packaging is SO pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Have you tried any of these?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s that time of year where I stack up all my beauty samples (from all&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1524,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=741"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1464,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741\/revisions\/1464"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1524"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
