"Hey #CultBeauties, Zanna here! I’m one of Milk Makeup’s co-founders and I want to talk you through the summer essentials I swear by to help me look fresh-faced with seconds to spare…

STEP 1 {Cooling Water Undereye Patches}

Jam-packed with caffeine to boost circulation and swiftly de-puff tired eyes, these magical patches are like an espresso for cells that could do with a jump-start… plus, they feel great when it’s hot (or you drank too much rosé)

STEP 2 {Cannabis Hydrating Face Mask}

Hydration in a flash! I use this in the mornings when my skin is feeling particularly dry and lizard-like… I apply it pre-breakfast, make a coffee (and make the kids laugh at my ogre-esque face) then wash off in the shower. No messy mask hands!!

STEP 3 {Sunshine Oil} and Isle of Paradise {Self Tanning Drops – Medium}

"I’m a self-tan addict and have tried virtually every one on the market. After a lot of research (trial and error!) my winning combination for an even and realistic glow is a few of these gradual drops with our (aptly named) Sunshine Oil. I apply at night and wake up looking like I’ve had 10 hours sleep (which in reality, hasn’t happened since 2014)."

STEP 4 {Hydro Grip Primer}

"This primer is a godsend on days when you’re pitting your make up against the environment… I was never a big fan of primers because my skin is naturally on the drier side, but this dewy formula plumps and replenishes moisture – whilst acting like Velcro for make up!"

STEP 5 {KUSH Lip Glaze}

"Summer can be just as brutal as winter when it comes to chapped, scaly lips. For a healthy, soft and plumped-up kiss, I apply a slick of my favourite KUSH Lip Glaze – laced with cannabis-derived extracts to soothe and condition while granting a cool, glossy finish in the day. Also pre-bed, I apply and it acts as a lip mask – my lips feel like pillows come morning!"

Thanks for reading #CultBeauties! I’m off out to soak up some sunshine…
