There’s something magical about summer skin — it feels incredibly soft, smells like a dream, and seems like it is sunkissed and scented. I have developed a body care routine over the years that not only nourishes but also enhances my summer glow with a subtle shimmer and a lingering scent trail. If you love luxe textures and sensorial experiences, this one’s for you.
I start my routine with a fragranced body wash or shower gel — something uplifting to awaken the senses. Post-shower, I follow up with a generous application of a scented body cream that matches my mood — rich yet fast-absorbing, it melts into the skin and doubles as both hydration and the perfect base for fragrance layering.
A good perfumed body cream will nourish the skin deeply while leaving the most elegant scent trail. Think creamy florals, soft musk, or warm vanilla… absolutely perfect for summer evenings.
Next comes the glow. I reach for the Carolina Herrera Good Girl Shimmer Body Oil — a glamorous, lightweight oil laced with delicate gold shimmer that not only leaves my skin looking radiant but also wraps it in the iconic Good Girl scent. I warm a few drops between my palms and smooth it over my collarbones, shoulders, and legs. The result? Skin that looks lit-from-within, dewy but never greasy. I even dab a touch on my arms and décolletage when wearing a summer dress. And on beach days, paired with a bikini, this oil transforms your skin — giving it that supermodel glow: sexy, sun-kissed, and shimmering in all the right places.
To seal the ritual, I spritz a summer fragrance lightly over my body and clothes. It’s the last, unseen piece that completes the look and guarantees that I smell incredibly good all day. This last step adds a final touch of scent to the entire regimen, whether it’s a citrussy flower, a breezy musk, or anything with a hint of coconut.
My little summer treat is this routine, which allows me to take a break, pamper myself, and leave feeling like sunshine in human form. This combination is the epitome of summer luxury, whether you’re going to the beach, having a garden brunch, or simply wanting to look sunkissed and scented at home.
Until next time, Ashh xo
