SUMMER BEAUTY SWITCH-UPS
Come the warmer months, everything gets a full reset – lighter fragrance, simplified skincare, skin-first make-up and serious hydration from head to toe. Consider this your edit of the season’s key switches, from the Selfridges Fragrance Hall to the best of Korean skincare for summer.
Summer spritz
Summer calls for a different kind of fragrance. Notes lighten and brighten, oud steps back, citrus and salt step forward. Right now, Jusbox’s Wave of Freedom has pride of place on our Beauty Editor’s shelf – think piña colada, bottled, with notes of coconut, pineapple and patchouli. Find it alongside Creed’s Fragaria, Born to Standout’s Free Coco and Amouage’s Love Hibiscus, all in the Selfridges Fragrance Hall, alongside the rest of our Selfridges fragrance edit.

Good skin is in
Summer skincare calls for a different approach: a simplified skincare routine, lighter textures, built-in SPF and that glass-skin glow. A Korean summer skincare routine leads the way here. Don’t skip LE RUB’s All-Day Sunscreen, a weightless mineral formula and travel skincare essential. For hydrating skincare with serious glow, Medicube’s PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream brings Korean skincare’s favourite repairing ingredient to a bouncy daily moisturiser. For a quick reset, Biodance’s Radiant Vita Niacinamide Deep Masks – the viral hydrogel masks, now in brightening niacinamide – are a holiday skincare bag must-have. And for an express facial, wherever you are, Therabody’s TheraFace Mask Glo packs 504 medical-grade LEDs into a cordless mask.
Save face
Let your skincare routine spill into your make-up bag this summer – think skin tints over foundation, multi-use balms and water-based formulas. Start with base: the Kylie Cosmetics Skin Tint is viral for a reason, blending seamlessly for a barely-there finish. Layer REFY’s brand-new Watercolor blush and bronzer on top, available exclusively to Selfridges and finish with Dior's Glassy Glow Stick – which is just as good as it sounds.
All over body experience
After a day in the sun, hydration is everything – head to toe. On the body, Elemis’s Pro-Collagen Marine Body Cream still reigns: thick, deeply hydrating and glow-giving, perfect for legs and décolletage. Hair needs the same TLC – Champo’s Pitta repair mask undoes the damage of sun, chlorine and heat, while Color Wow’s Money Laundering shampoo and conditioner bring back the shine.
