My hair hates me; frozen all winter while I snowboard fresh powder, it's now being punished further, soaked in salty surf. Spilt, dry and in need of a cut, I have to rekindle the relationship with my tresses fast - my skin needs some love too. Thankfully The Body Shop has come to the rescue with some lush new moisturising lines for skin and hair this summer.
Soaked up by normal to dry hair, their Honey Moisturising Shampoo (2) and Conditioner (3) is made with Community Trade, organic Honey from the northwest of Zambia - which, farmed using traditional methods, helps protect and preserve tropical forests and maintain an income for the local, often female, beekeepers.
If, like me, you need an extra strong hit to put life back in your locks, the Brazil Nut Moisture Mask will also 'revie, dry, fragile hair' and 'strengthens the hari helping to reduce breakage.' With Community Trade sourced Brazil Oil from Peru, Sesame Oil from Nicaragua, Zambian Organic Honey and Organic olive oil from Italy, you're carbon footprint may expand but you'll be giing back to local communities too.
For some extra indulgence try the Monoi miracle oil (1) - for the bath, skin and hair pre-shampoo - made from ancient Tahitian Monoi oil, gardenia flowers and Brazilan babassu oil.
Your skin's not forgotten too; the Body Shop's Body Butters are perfect apres surf - fresh from a weekend by the sea myself, the Coconut travel sized pot (6) became my new best friend - I'm taking the matching scrub (4) and Cocoa Butter (5) with me next time too.
