Luscious Locks

Give your tresses some VIP treatment and youll be thankful you did because the sun will do its best to leave your hair dry and frazzled. Book yourself in for a hair appointment two weeks before you go to get rid of any split ends and then apply a conditioning treatment likeAussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructoror Aussie Hemp Conditioner specifically for frizzy hair.

Glowing Skin

Give your make-up bag an overhaul, throw out any items past their sell-by date and invest in some gorgeous summery shades. Think fresh-faced and neutral and pick a foundation that isnt too heavy to avoid it running down your face if you get a bit hot and sweaty!
