Game-changing summer beauty must haves for 2025
Summer is the season for effortless beauty, but that doesn’t mean we can’t lean on a few hardworking heroes to keep skin glowing, hair glossy and our routines running smoothly.
Whether you’re heading off on holiday, juggling festival hair, or just craving some radiance in the heat, these warm-weather wonders are the ultimate additions to your beauty bag.
From featherlight hydration to powerful peptide tech and handbag-ready hair solutions, here’s what we’re loving this season when it comes to game-changing beauty.
FIGGI Miracle Mist, £29
The ultimate on-the-go refresh for sensitive complexions, this gentle mist is infused with antioxidant-rich Rooibos extract, designed to soothe, hydrate and revitalise complexions.
Particularly handy during the warm weather, this is ideal for that mid-afternoon cool-down or as a gentle prep step pre-skincare.
We love how its clean formula (free from essential oils, colourants, linalool and more) leaves your skin feeling comforted, not overloaded – simply dewy skin in a bottle.
The Fab Brush by GF Fabulosity, £29
Created by award-winning stylist Gustav Fouché, this game-changing hairbrush makes knots and tugging a thing of the past.
The ultra-flexible nylon bristles glide effortlessly through wet or dry hair, meaning less breakage and zero complaints (even from little ones).
A travel must-have, it works wonders on every hair type while adding a touch of luxury to your everyday brushing routine.
At £26, it’s an investment in pain-free, glossy hair – wherever you’re headed this summer.

If you’ve been wary of retinol irritation, Evolve’s Bio-Retinol + C Booster is your summer skincare saviour.
