Spotlight on L’Occitane Shea Butter Foot Cream, £21

Backless sandals might look pretty but they do not give much support. Neither do flip-flops. Heels can easily become dry and cracked. Callouses are another symptom. A good moisturiser is essential. 

I like L’Occitane Shea Butter Foot Cream. Not only does this rich cream leave your feet lovely and soft, it also helps to alleviate any irritation that you might get. 

This is an essential for holidays and at home.

Another great product from Clinique. This cooling jelly not only hydrates the skin but helps repair the skin’s moisture barrier while protecting your complexion from pollution. It is amazing just how much bad stuff is in the air, especially in big cities such as London.

Oil-free and lightweight, Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly Anti-Pollution is quickly absorbed into the skin. It is loaded with glycerine and hyaluronic acid which are good humectants. It makes your complexion feel refreshed and gives it a lovely, healthy glow.

Summer scents

If you like fragrances that are unique and special then here are two that you should take a look at.

Carthusia Terra Mia Eau de Parfum, £80, Liberty London

A stunning melange of bergamot and rose with tangs of coffee and hazelnut with a hint of musk. This fragrance from a well-respected Italian brand is perfect for men and women. 

Abel Green Cedar, £98, Fenwick of Bond Street
Billed as a modern, chic natural perfume, this is a heady combo of cedars from Texas and the wild forests of Morocco's Atlas Mountains. This is one that stands out from the crowd. Perfect for this time of year.
