New body products at the ready! With an arsenal of can-do beauty buys at your disposal this summer, your beach body reveal is easier than ever. Scrub, bronze and smooth your way to confidence with our pick of the best new beach body buys.

You want...A smoother beach body:

Smooth skin is infinitely more appealing on a beach than rough, scaly limbs. It also looks brighter and creates a better base for your fake tan. Twice weekly in-shower body scrub action in the run up to your holiday will reveal fresher, smoother skin come your beach baring moment. Unless you have sensitive skin, turbo charge your body scrub by using it on dry skin, applying in circular motions working from the feet up, before you shower.

What's new?
Best for natural fans: Boots fair trade Extracts Almond Body Scrub contains walnut shells to help smooth rough skin.
Best exotic-inspired scrub: The Sanctuary Mela Black Pepper & Ginger Scrub is inspired by Ayurvedic teachings, with crushed coconut shells, ginger root and black pepper oil.
The luxury scrub: Darphin Nourishing Smoothing Body Scrub (available at the U.R.Beautiful store, Kingston) is packed with red berries and essential oils to nourish and hydrate as it smoothes.

You want...A fuzz-free beach body

Don't risk ruining your beach confidence with body fuzz if there's the slightest chance it will leave you feeling self conscious. This summer, operate a zero tolerance approach to rogue hairs and get your hair removal plan sussed before your holiday. From razors to waxes, there are plenty of new hair removal options. Just remember not to leave it to the last minute; exposing freshly shaved/waxed/epilated skin to a day of sun on the beach is a recipe for soreness and sensitivity.

Best permanent hair reduction: Boots Smooth Skin System uses Intense Pulsed Light to safely and permanently reduce hair.
Best new wax strips: Parissa Assorted Wax Strips (available instore) offer 3 different sized strips, ensuring your bikini line, face and underarm hair removal is covered.
