In the UK as we are getting some sort of a Summer, I thought it would be a good idea to put together a list of products from all different sections which could be considered as Summer Essentials. These include, primer, sunblock, shower gel and even make-up items that could help when deciding what you might need to use during the those of summer we might be lucky to get in the UK. Of course these apply not just to people in the UK, I only say this as I live in the UK and look at the weather daily to make sure it doesn't change.
For this list of products, I have decided to stick to products that everyone is able to get there hands on in the local Lush stores, so there are no Lush Oxford Street exclusives mentioned as I didn't see it far because not everyone has the chance, at the moment to get to Lush Oxford Street for those exclusives. All of these are available in regular Lush Stores as well as online and non of these products are being discontinued.
My Top Lush Summer Essentials 2015
I have chosen this as a quick and easier make-up remover for those nights when you are so hot you don't want something that is going to take you a long time to use in order to remove your make-up. This can also be used as a primer base for your make-up, so when the weather is hot and humid your make -up is going to stay in place a lot longer and not end up sliding half way down your face by the end of the day. For 45g tub £7.25 and 100g tub £11.50
The Sunblock Solid Sunscreen Wash SPF 30 High

Now, if you are anything like me and hate the idea of applying thick layers of Sunscreen throughout the day why not try this solid sunscreen but in the shower. Simply break off a third and rub it all over your skins whilst you are in the shower. Then lightly pat your skin dry. You have already given your skin a boost of protect just from having a morning shower, also it is SPF 30 which is really good to protect your skin against sun rays. For this bar £8.95.
Dream Cream Hand and Body Lotion
This is my holy grail product all year round but this is also good to use during the summer. If you have sensitive skin which burns easily then this could help to soothe and cool irritated skin which could have burnt due to being the sun. If you are lucky enough to get a bit of a suntan over the Summer months then this could help maintain the tan that little bit longer especially as (if you like in the UK) the sunny days are few and far between. For 240g tub £11.95. This also comes as self-preserving.
Shine So Bright

If your hair gets damaged easily from the hot sun on it all day then using this could help control damaged ends and keep your hair looking healthy while you enjoy the sunshine. A little goes a long way, so you will only need to apply a small amount to the ends of your hair to keep it looking healthy and shiny during the summer months. Also a good product for if you use a lot of heat styling tools. For this tub £4.75.

Avobath Bath Bomb
Another favourite of mine which again goes along the lines of waking you up on a sunny morning making your feel refreshed from the muggy (meaning very hot and humid) night. On the other hand if you have had a day in the sun and you want a cooling bath time treat then this is a definite must to throw in the bath before settling in for what could be another humid night during the summer. For this bath bomb £3.35.
Pop in the Bath Bubble Bar

On the other side use this of a night time to soothe sun kissed skin after a long day in the sun to wind down ready for a fresh feeling before going to bed. For this bubble bar £2.95.

Now with the sun beating down on your head all day isn't very good for your hair. This can cause your hair to be extra greasy and not appear healthy and shiny like you want it to be. With this shampoo it will help to control the excess oil which is caused by the sun and also the fact you are sweating because of hot temperatures. It allows your hair to maintain looking fresh and clean. For 100g bottle £5.50, 250g bottle £10.95 and for the 500g bottle £17.95.

Get your feet ready for flip flops and sandals with this foot mask. It is very important to make sure your feet are looking their best during the summer months - especially if you like showing them off in your new summer sandals. Not only is this foot mask good for making your feet look gorgeous in a pair of flip flops but it is also a good thing to use at the end of a long day in the sun, where your feet might have taking a bit of a battering with long sunshine filled walks. For a 125g tub £6.50.
Each Peach and Two's a Pair Massage Bar
This amazing smelling as well as being beneficial for your skin this massage bar is definitely one for the summer. This is also the first ever massage bar I have ever used, so there will be a review coming soon. In the meantime this massage bar would be good to use in the morning after a refreshing shower in order to continue to wake you up on a bright sunny day. It would also be good to use after an evening shower or bath in order to cool down heated skin that has been in the sun all day. For this massage bar £5.95.
Independent Liquid Eyeliner
If you are a fan of Liquid Eyeliner and like me wear it all year round but during the summer you don't want it sliding halfway down your face by the evening then definitely pick up one of these eyeliners. They stay in place all day, from if you do a simple line, a cat eye or like me retro sixties style eyeliner then you have no worries of this eyeliner failing you on a hot summers day. For this eyeliner £14.50.
This only suggestions for if you are looking for products in order to make your summer that bit more enjoyable, so you can put to the back of your mind the tasks of taking care of your body throughout the summer months. I also hope that I have given suggestions for all elements, from top to bottom.
