Beauty Insider: Get Ready for Summer!

With the beginning of summer getting closer and closer, it’s time to start bringing the shorts, singlets and strappy sundresses to the front of your wardrobe. Although this is an exciting time of year for those of us who have been craving the warm sunshine, it can also be a motivator to start ‘prepping’ your previously scarf/coat/woollies/stockings-covered body to see more of the light of day.

Here are some of our top picks to help you get tanned, moisturised, prepped and conditioned in the leadup to summer!

BODY PREP
