The reality of this does somewhat require some preparation, especially when it comes to your beauty routine. The humidity, exposure to UV rays and longer days mean you need foolproof essentials you can trust. That’s where we come in. Tried and tested by Sophia herself, it’s time to discover Code8’s Beach Holiday Essentials.

The mantra ‘less is more’ has never been more relevant. With the sun shining, you are sure to have some added natural colour (even if a little on the rouge side) and golden hour will have us all looking like a bronze goddess. Our essentials are the key to enhancing the natural effects of these warmer days, keeping your look effortlessly you.
