9 of the best products for post-holiday hair and skin

Skin in need of a moisture drench? This probiotic mask is enriched with hyaluronic acid (the ultra-hydrating ingredient of the moment) and Harakeke flax (a plant native to New Zealand) to protect and soothe the skin’s barrier.¹ Leaving it to work for 15 minutes means you can take a moment for yourself to do a little meditation, deep breathing or reading, to calm your skin and mind at the same time. 

You’ve returned with a healthy tan, but the chlorine, saltwater and a few late nights have left your skin feeling tired and lacking its usual radiance. Enter this nourishing overnight treatment. A rich, night cream with vitamin C, shea butter and liquorice extract to help counteract the effects of the sun and environmental damage, this cream’s USP is its SleepSmart Complex™. 

Ideal for parched, dehydrated skin, this light and airy blend absorbs into skin without the heavy feeling of traditional body butters. Made with shea and cupuacu butters, which can help dry skin² and are rich in polyphenols to help combat negative effects of free radical damage (caused by the sun) and are packed with fatty acids to help rehydrate – that and the almond and Australian sandalwood scent is divine. 

Sun-kissed skin can feel tight, dry or flaky but this nourishing oil spray will help instantly. Formulated with oat and jojoba oil (rich in skin-loving lipids and fatty acids), it helps soothe the skin barrier and locks in moisture to help your skin feel silky, not greasy. Bonus: it’s suitable for delicate skin types and is gentle enough to use all over, making it perfect for an indulgent post-shower massage. 

Active ingredients needn’t cost the Earth – and this caring cream is both powerful and certified organic. It’s ideal after you’ve spent long days in the sun, which can deplete your skin’s natural defences. This is because vitamin E is an antioxidant³ that helps hydrate and protects against negative effects caused by free radical damage caused by UV or pollution – best used in combination with your favourite high-factor SPF. 

Your scalp can often get overlooked on holiday, and sun, salt, sweat and styling can leave it feeling dry and irritated. This certified natural tonic is infused with rosemary to help stimulate circulation, support your healthy hair growth journey and strengthen your locks. Ideal for reviving bleached, sun-frazzled or chemically treated hair, it works to rebalance the scalp and help restore shine and vitality over time. Think of it as a daily tonic to help bring your hair back to life after a summer of fun.

We’ve all used it on our sunburn, but did you know aloe vera can help soothe your hair, too? The plant powers this gentle shampoo to help revitalise your hair. It helps soften and detangle frazzled lengths while coating your hair fibre for added shine, it’s great as a gentle option. Pro tip: try shampooing your hair twice – you’ll thank us later. 

If you’re dealing with thirsty ends and frazzled texture, this soothing conditioner helps restore softness and shine. Organic aloe vera, shea butter, sunflower oil and vitamin E deliver a generous dose of hydration while gently smoothing the hair cuticle. Designed to support the hair, it restores balance without weighing your hair down. Leave it to work for a few extra minutes for deeper conditioning. 

This growth-supporting mask is a wise choice when your strands feel tired or brittle. It blends traditional Ayurvedic wisdom (originating in India more than 3,000 years ago) with modern science. Ancient herbs like ashwagandha and amla work alongside the formula to nourish roots for healthier-looking hair. And the deep conditioning powers help to detangle, soften and revive the rest of your hair – perfect for post-beach restoration.
