REVAMP YOUR ROUTINE!

GIVE YOUR HAIR... A MANICURE
1 Just like the initial stage of a manicure, your hair should be soaked in tepid water for a few minutes before you shampoo to unclog dirt.

2 Nails are buffed to remove dead cells and smooth the base for polish. The same applies to your locks, so buff your hair with an exfoliating shampoo - Wella Professionals Lifetex Pure Purifying Shampoo, £6.79, will help remove build-up.

3 A base coat is as vital for your hair as it is for your talons. After conditioning, towel-dry locks and

apply Tara Smith Base Coat Serum, £4.99, which contains borage oil, a plant-based fatty acid that tames frizz and helps hold your style.

4 Next, polish. No, we're not saying paint your tresses with nail varnish! Use a hair gloss for the same effect. Try Tigi Rockaholic Rock Out Shine Blaster, £9.95, to coat locks with mirror shine.

5 After blow-drying, seal in moisture with a top-coat. Spritz hair with KMS California Flat Out Anti-Humidity Seal, £17.40, which contains smoothing fig and jojoba.

GIVE YOUR FACE... A CONDITIONING TREATMENT
1 It's vital to remove product residue from your hair before a conditioning treatment to optimise hydration. The same applies to your face, so cleanse with L'Occitane Organic Olive Radiance Cleansing Foam, £12.75, to unclog dirt.

2 Apply the new Champneys Purify & Cleanse SOS Mud Mask, £6, to draw out impurities from deep within.

3 Maximum rehydration is essential, especially during the summer. Thankfully the new breed of facial oils leave your skin ultra-soft and supple but without too much shine. Darphin Rose Aromatic Care, £38, contains radiance-boosting rose essential oil to breathe new life into skin. Smooth five drops on to your face and neck morning and night.

4 As with the scalp, a facial massage will stimulate circulation to make you glow. Once you've applied your oil, massage the skin in upward circular motions using your fingertips.

5 Just like you should avoid rubbing your hair vigorously with a towel, you shouldn't rub your face either. Instead, gently pat it dry, then seal in moisture with Dermalogica Barrier Repair, £26.

GIVE YOUR BODY... A FACIAL

1 A beautiful face begins with a clean complexion, and this applies to your body too. Give it a thorough cleanse with Vie At Home Body Nutrition Shower Juice, £9.

2 A toner for the face refines the skin. Do the same from top to toe with Clarins High Definition Body Lift, £31.99.

3 An acid-based facial peel sloughs off dead skin cells and stimulates new ones to grow. Clinique Turnaround Body Smoothing Cream, £23, will have the same effect.

4 It's not only your face that can benefit from wrinkle-busting formulas. RoC Hydra+ Bio Active Nourishing Body Lotion, £10.95,

is crammed with glycerin, which helps lock in moisture to the skin.

5 'Product layering' is the latest word in skincare, so instead of looking for one product that offers everything, pick ones that deliver specific results and combine them. Try Anatomicals Not Another Rough Day Please Body Moisturiser, £3, with a more intensive, skin-loving serum on top, such as Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Moisturising Body Serum, £24.50.
