With summer well and truly here, the tights come off, sleeveless tops go on and we begin to prep our bodies for the beach to confidently show off our smooth derrières and where best to begin…a good ol’ scrub!!

Now, we know that not everyone has the time to dry body brush in the morning but we absolutely swear by it and suggest you all try it too! Just spending 3-5 mins in the morning using a body brush not only kick starts circulation but also helps with lymphatic drainage which in time reduces cellulite and leaves you with a bootylicious beach body. We love the Elemis Skin Brush (£18)  it’s nice and firm and leaves you feeling all tingly like you’ve just been for a brisk walk.

Another must-do to beach proof your body is to use a delicious body scrub in the shower. Our favourite natural brand at the moment is Melvita which launched earlier this year – Try their Extra-Gentle Body Scrub – £16 – A mouthwatering cocktail of orange, sugar cane and apricot which leaves the skin smooth and invigorated after just one use.

Or why not opt for a body scrub that moisturises at the same time and is great for those with sensitive skin like amazene. They have a great range of body scrubs (£11.95) in 6 luscious flavours to choose from -  We’ve been trying the Avocado &  Andiroba scrub which is super gentle and smells wonderful!

For those who like a pampering treatment why not pop into the gorgeous Elemis Day Spa for their heavenly Exotic Lime and Ginger Salt Glow Treatment (£45 for 30 mins) – The beautiful Elemis Day Spa is the perfect place to go before you jet off to sunnier climes. The therapist begins by brushing the body with the Elemis Skin Brush then preps the skin for the scrub by dripping warm oil all over. Expect to come out feeling twinkle toed and silky smooooooth!

So go on get scrubbed up!!
