Three Ways to Elevate Your Summer Beauty Routine
As temperatures rise and holiday season approaches, beauty routines often shift towards lighter textures, effortless radiance and products that support wellbeing from the inside out. From a glow-boosting facial mist to science-backed supplements and evocative fragrances designed to transport the senses, these are the beauty essentials earning a place in our summer edit.
Keren Bartov Advanced Skincare Hydration Glow Spray
Summer skin calls for hydration at every opportunity, and Keren Bartov’s Hydration Glow Spray is designed to deliver exactly that. Created by the renowned facialist behind some of the world’s most photographed faces, this ultra-fine mist combines hyaluronic acid, peptides, glycerin, witch hazel, chamomile and lavender extracts to refresh and replenish the complexion throughout the day.
The lightweight formula absorbs almost instantly, making it ideal for use during travel, after time in the sun or whenever skin needs a quick boost. It can also be used over makeup, leaving the complexion looking fresher, brighter and more luminous without disturbing carefully applied cosmetics. Elegant, effective and wonderfully convenient, it is the sort of product that quickly becomes a permanent fixture in a summer handbag.

Free Yourself AETHER and NUMINOUS
Luxury fragrance house Free Yourself continues its mission to merge perfumery with wellbeing through the launch of two new eaux de parfum, AETHER and NUMINOUS. Unveiled at Paris Perfume Week, the pair complete the brand’s acclaimed Elements Collection and reinforce its position as one of the most intriguing new names in contemporary fragrance.
Created by master perfumer Ralf Schwieger, AETHER explores the space between the earthly and the ethereal. Salty blackcurrant, hyacinth and incense open the composition before a floral heart of narcissus, geranium and rose unfolds over a grounding base of vetiver, patchouli and innovative Noxolide™, a molecule that introduces subtle fresh walnut and mossy nuances.
NUMINOUS, composed by celebrated perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui, takes a richer and more contemplative direction. Sparkling bergamot and deep Arabica coffee notes give way to incense before settling into an enveloping base of vanilla, labdanum and tonka. The result is warm, sophisticated and quietly transporting.
Both fragrances embody Free Yourself’s philosophy that scent can be more than an accessory; it can be a daily ritual designed to foster presence, reflection and emotional connection.
Bare Biology
Wellness begins from within, and few brands have championed that philosophy more effectively than Bare Biology. Founded with a commitment to transparency, sustainability and scientific rigour, the British supplement brand has earned a devoted following for its premium omega-3, collagen and nutritional support formulas.
Particularly appealing to beauty-conscious consumers is Bare Biology’s focus on ingredients that support skin health, vitality and overall wellbeing. Its carefully sourced marine collagen and high-strength omega-3 supplements are formulated to complement a holistic beauty routine, recognising the close relationship between nutrition and visible skin health. Free from unnecessary fillers and backed by extensive testing, Bare Biology continues to set the benchmark for quality in the increasingly crowded wellness space.
