Happy bank holiday! This long weekend calls for easter celebrations, a bask in the long-awaited sunshine, and some proper tender loving care. It's not often we get a four day weekend, so in my mind, there's no better excuse to give yourself a little pamper and pick up a new beauty product, whether it is a new tanning formula, a targeted spot treatment, or an exfoliating body wash.

This week's round up has a definite spring bank holiday vibe, with a focus on prepping your body for skin exposure. We all know that it's incredibly important to wear SPF all-year round, but when the sun comes out, unsurprisingly it is all the more important. My biggest issue is finding an SPF product (be it for face or for body) that is lightweight and non-sticky. There's nothing worse than feeling gross and uncomfortable all day. So I'm pretty pumped that not only has SUQQU brought out a "watery" face protector, but Vichy has also graced us with a water-based body AND face SPF. Stickiness, be gone!

As the weather this weekend is set to be great, you may be opting for a skirt or cute strappy top. And if like me, you're feeling a little lacking in glow, it may be worth picking up Vita Liberata's new tanning cloths, which use a "flash dry technology," meaning you no longer need to walk around naked for hours after tanning application. You could also prep your skin for tanning with Pixi's new glycolic body wash and body cream, which lightly exfoliates.

Also out this week is a targeted spot treatment, and a genius mini hair kit. Keep reading to discover more...
