Beauty: The Body Shop's 2008 beach essentials

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.

Beach beauty: Footessentials natural oils for your feet

It may've been midsummer's day already, but I've only just started wearing flip flops again daily. Firstly because the UK's been dealt another rubbish card this summer with wet, windy weather. And then secondly, after six months of sweating in snowboard boots my tootsies were far from ready for public exposure.

That's where the Footessentials saved my soles. Little pots of therapeutic essential oil blends, especially formulated for feet, including Warm that Sole, Nourish that Nail, Ditch that Itch and Banish that Blotch, they are perfect for rescuing post-snowboarding or surfing feet and are available from www.footessentials.co.uk at £7.95 each.
