12 summer beauty must-haves

Tried, tested and recommended by our FARFETCH Beauty team, our edit is your essential guide to the must-try products of the season — starring innovative skincare from Noble Panacea and more.

Noble Panacea Chronobiology Sleep Mask

‘Not only is this mask packed with nearly every dermatologist-recommended ingredient in the book — probiotics, polyhydroxy acid (PHA), peptides, retinol, ceramides and hyaluronic acid — but it releases them in stages as you sleep so that they’re synchronized with your body’s natural circadian rhythm. Throughout the night, this mask starts by exfoliating, followed by repairing (that’s the retinol and peptides), and finishes by hydrating and reinforcing the skin barrier. Everytime I use this before bed, I wake up glowing — like I just got the most restful and peaceful night’s sleep of my life.’

Costa Brazil Sol Sunlight Body Oil

‘As a busy mom whose days are never ending, applying this silky, summer-scented oil is a nonnegotiable dose of daily self-care. It keeps my skin soft and glowy with a nutrient-rich mix of hydrating acai berry, antioxidant cacay oil and more. The silicone bottle sleeve is also a godsend that alleviates any fear of it slipping from my oily hands.’

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer

‘A generous sweep of this bronzer is my go-to finishing touch for every makeup look — it adds depth, dimension and a warm, natural-looking glow to my complexion. The cream formula is buildable and perfect for layering over foundation or wearing alone. I like buffing it onto the high points of my face with a densely packed fluffy brush to diffuse the pigment and create a soft, glowy, sunkissed veil.’

Parfums de Marly Delina eau de parfum

‘Delina is such a captivating summer fragrance. With a smooth blend of Turkish rose, lychee and peony, its notes stand out as both fresh and floral. It’s the sharp addition of rhubarb, however, which instantly transports me back to British summers in the garden, and gives the scent a unique and unexpected twist.’
Jenna Collison, FARFETCH Beauty associate category manager

Epi.logic The Total Package moisturizer

‘Formulated by ocular plastic surgeon Dr. Chaneve Jeanniton, this moisturizer has become a new staple in my skincare routine. As my skin goes through seasonal changes that make it prone to being more dry and oily, I love layering this nourishing cream over hydrating serums as it plumps, repairs and deeply moisturizes with a combination of ingredients including peptides and collagen. I use a pea-sized amount in the morning and evening, and have noticed that my skin looks brighter, dewier and bouncier.’

Maison Margiela Beach Walk eau de parfum

‘With notes of bergamot, pink pepper and coconut milk, Maison Margiela’s Beach Walk is a refreshing scent inspired by sand, salty air and sunshine. I wear it all summer long but it’s perfect to bring on vacation with you, especially the 30ml size which can fit in a carry-on.’

Vintner's Daughter Active Renewal Cleanser

‘After years of rigorous formulating, testing and approvals, Vintner’s Daughter has finally extended its lineup to include a do-it-all cleanser that was worth the wait. This creamy, moisturizing face wash produces a gentle lather that melts off makeup and sweeps away dirt while leaving the skin refreshed, hydrated and cushioned. It’s brimming with an intricate blend of ethically sourced botanical ingredients — aloe leaf to deeply rehydrate, gotu kola to protect from cell damage and mango-seed butter to promote smoother, brighter skin.’

Westman Atelier Skin Activator serum

‘I’m a huge fan of Westman Atelier’s makeup, so when the brand announced it was dipping its toe into skincare, I couldn't wait to try it. This serum contains an impressive 12 potent active ingredients — made stable with proprietary technology developed by a leading skincare scientist in Korea — that over time helps to strengthen the skin barrier. I love how it immediately reduces redness, gives a dewy finish and makes my makeup go on beautifully — no surprise there, as it was developed by one of the best celebrity and editorial makeup artists out there, Gucci Westman.’

Fur Silk Scrub

‘This is my go-to body scrub. The clever formula is able to buff away dry, dead skin cells, leaving my skin feeling extra silky and baby soft. I’ve tried many exfoliators, but I trust this one won’t leave my sensitive skin red, irritated or scratched, which I have found with many body scrubs in the past. To get my circulation going — which is beneficial for both tone and texture — I use it in the shower with a body brush, buffing in circular motions over my arms and legs.’
Sian Johnson, Browns Fashion beauty buyer

Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub shampoo

‘I can't recommend this scrub enough if you exercise frequently or generally have an oily scalp that’s prone to product buildup. In the shower, I apply a tablespoon amount onto my wet hair, and massage it into my scalp until it emulsifies and all the product is dissolved. It leaves my scalp feeling super clean without stripping my hair of moisture. I’m also a huge fan of the fresh, briny scent — it reminds me of being by the sea.’

Macrene Actives High Performance Tinted Moisturizer

‘I love a tinted moisturizer all year long, but especially in the summer months when I don’t like the feeling of a lot of makeup on my skin. This formula from Macrene Actives is incredible. It feels weightless, blends like a dream and plays nicely with other makeup items like concealer and cream blush. It really does keep your skin plump and hydrated, which makes sense, as it’s formulated by one of the most esteemed dermatologists in the US. When I’m wearing this, it just looks like glowing, beautiful skin.’

Joanna Czech The Toner

‘A lot of people skip toner, confusing them with harsh formulas which dry out the skin, but it’s actually an essential for hydration. Joanna Czech’s The Toner hydrates, restores and balances the skin with an ingredient list featuring hyaluronic acid, sea chamomile, agave, zinc, magnesium and copper — no skin-stripping nasties in sight. I use it every morning after cleansing and before applying serum to combat dullness.’
