Beauty & Hair Glow — How To Prepare for Spring/Summer

Spring is all about fresh, luminous, healthy beauty. Think effortless glow, radiant skin, glossy hair, and natural textures. Here’s what we should start doing now to look and feel our best by the time warmer days arrive:

Skin First, Always ✨

Beautiful makeup starts with beautiful skin. My current glow-boosting routine:

Paula’s Choice BHA Exfoliant (grey bottle) — gentle exfoliation for smooth, clear, glowing skin.
Cicaplast by La Roche-Posay — the ultimate repair cream for hydration, glow, and skin barrier support, to use right after of the BHA.

Makeup Mood — Soft Glow & Summer Safari

Think soft shimmer, bronzed skin, glowing cheeks, and sun-kissed tones.
A touch of highlight, warm bronzer, and fresh skin = effortless chic.

Hair Trends — Soft, Natural & Luxurious

Deep side parting with natural texture — easy, modern, and flattering.
(Use: Sam McKnight Cool Girl Texturising Spray for effortless movement.)

Healthy, glossy hair with zero split ends — because shiny hair never goes out of style.
(My go-to: Hydra Glaze Masque by Kérastase for mirror-like shine.)

Spring/Summer 2026 Trend Forecast 🌸

Hair Trends

The Lob — longer than a bob, shorter than long. Effortless, chic, and endlessly wearable.

Soft volume & loose waves — polished yet relaxed.

Dimensional colour — seamless blends, soft contrast, luxury finish. Think expensive hair, always.

Fashion Trends

The biggest fashion houses have spoken, and Spring/Summer 2026 is all about texture, clean silhouettes, and bold accents.

Fringe details — on jackets, skirts, bags and accessories.
Mandarin jackets — structured, elegant, and already trending everywhere.
Monochrome outfits with a bold pop of colour — clean base + statement detail = fashion perfection.
