The summer of 2026 has been noted for being 'freakishly hot and sweaty', with multiple heatwaves occurring. This weather has influenced personal care choices, leading to a preference for lighter products.
Refy’s Skin Base, a sheer face tint, has been used since July due to its lightweight feel. Similarly, lighter liquid moisturisers, such as Prequel’s Half & Half Fluid Moisturizer, have been favoured over heavier face creams. St Tropez’s Instant Glow Mousse has also been used for exposed legs.
Additionally, fresh and enlivening scents, including Dedcool’s Xtra Milk and Penhaligon’s Luna, have been used during the summer of 2026.
