Did we accidentally create our summer skincare routine... in a jug of Pimms?
Hear us out.
Every summer, we faithfully fill a jug with cucumber, citrus, strawberries and mint, declare it the taste of British summer, and think absolutely nothing of it.
But then we started putting together our newest skincare kit, and we realised something... our favourite summer botanicals kept popping up.
Cucumber? Tick.
Berries? Tick.
Citrus? Tick.
At that point, it felt less like developing a skincare ritual and more like assembling the world's most skincare-friendly Pimm's.
So, naturally, we decided to embrace it.
Meet out Summer Skin Kit. A sunshine-ready collection of glow-giving skincare heroes inspired by the fresh, vibrant botanicals that make Britains favourite summer drink so iconic. No, we haven't put Pimm's in the products.
But we have taken some of its most recognisable ingredients and given the the Bramley treatment. Think uplifting clementine in place of orange, brightening lemon balm for an extra boost of citrus, antioxidant-rich raspberry seed standing in for strawberries, and wonderfully cooling cucumber - some things are already perfect as they are!
The result is a beautifully simple ritual designed to hydrate, brighten and protect your skin throughout the summer months, leaving your complexion feeling fresh, radiant and beautifully nourished.
What's inside?
10g Clementine Antioxidant Cleansing Balm
Summer is wonderful for the soul... and not always so kind to your skin.
Between SPF, makeup, sweat and long days outdoors, your evening cleanse works a little harder this time of year. Our nourishing Clementine Cleansing Balm gently melts everything away while caring for you skin barrier, leaving skin feeling soft, comfortable and refreshed. Paired with the muslin cloth, it's the perfect way to wash away the day.
30ml Lemon Balm Brightening Serum
Our Lemon Balm Brightening Serum helps boost radiance while supporting a more even-looking complexion. Combining beautifully fragrant lemon balm with hardworking skincare actives, it delivers lightweight hydration while helping skin look brighter and healthier day after day.
15ml Cucumber Reviving Eye Serum
Perhaps the least surprising ingredient in the kit...
Cucumber had earned its reputation for a reason.
Cooling, refreshing and wonderfully hydrating, our Reviving Eye Serum helps awaken tired-looking eyes and delivers a welcome burst of moisture whenever you need it. Keep it in the fridge during a heatwave for an extra-refreshing morning ritual.
30ml Raspberry Seed Illuminating Face Oil
If summer had a glow button, this would be it.
Rich in nourishing botanical oils, our Illuminating Face Oil helps lock in moisture while leaving skin looking beautifully soft, plump and luminous. Use a few drops after your serum, or press onto the high points of your face whenever your skin deserves an extra glow.
Your Summer Ritual
Designed to take you from sunny mornings through to long summer evenings, the Summer skin Kit brings together everything you need for healthy-looking, hydrated skin.
Begin with the Cleansing Balm and Muslin Cloth to gently melt away SPF, makeup and daily impurities. Apply the Lemon Balm Brightening Serum to help even skin tone and boost radiance, followed by the Eye Serum to refresh and hydrate the delicate eye area. Finish with a few drops of the Illuminating Face Oil to lock in moisture and leave skin soft, plump and glowing.
