The summer generally splits us into two categories: those of us who look inexplicably incredible when the sun comes out, and those of us who end up as huffing, sweaty puddles with bad hair and melting skin. If you’re part of the former cohort, then open a new tab and go and read about something else – this is for those of us who struggle when the mercury rises. Those who end up looking not so fresh, and not so clean.

For those of us who spend much of the year under a grey sky (cough, MR PORTER HQ in London, cough), summer is the most welcome time of year – an excuse to drink more, wear less and enjoy the weather. Until it comes for our hair, that is. When confronted with sweat, heat and humidity, even the most carefully coiffed barnet can devolve into a floppy, greasy mess that can have you looking like a hairy mammoth in a heatwave and a buzzcut starts to sound appealing. But before you reach for the clippers, consider these five summer-proof hair products to help you keep your cool.

Sticking needles in your face in an effort to look your best might seem drastic, but facial treatments have come a long way in recent years. Pain and downtime are minimal and results are often near instantaneous. We’re not talking Botox here, but medical-grade facials that can transform your skin. Below, we’ve put together a short guide to treatments, from the so-called vampire facial, which reduces signs of ageing and pigmentation, to LEDs that treat specific concerns such as acne.

In theory, summer should be the most low-maintenance of the seasons. But grooming-wise, we all end up raising it a notch: switching up your scent, pasting on the SPF, trying to tame your frizzy-from-the-heat hair. So, here’s a little guide to everything-summer – from how to protect your skin from the sun and heat to finding your go-to summer fragrance and having a smooth summer glow throughout your day. The perfect prep for any vacation (or just looking like you’ve had one, at least).
