While the prospect of a honeymoon is bound to excite every bride, for some baring all on the beach can dampen proceedings. But there are plenty of products to help girls get bikini-ready, and if the packaging is to be believed, these products really work.
Rescue dull winter skin with this works' Skin Deep dry leg oil (£35), which tackles dry, rough skin using essential oils. For stretch marks, try the Stretch Mark oil (£35), which claims to not only counteract the appearance of stretch marks, but also improve circulation and skin tone.
Beautify your bust with Perfect Cleavage (£35) containing yellow algae and pomegranate ingredients moisturise and tighten the décolletage, while Brazilian murumuru butter adds a touch of shimmer and rose oil soothes tender skin after sunbathing.
For summer-scorched skin opt for the Active Serum (£35), which is rich in powerful antioxidants and soothes irritation from the sun and wind. The turbo balm (£10) uses Tahitian monoi coconut oil and cocoa butter to hydrate dry and cracked skin.

For sun worshipers, Clinique's range of sunscreens includes a body spray (£17), which provides UVA and UVB protection, while the after sun rescue balm (£17) contains aloe vera to calm sun-exposed skin. Find out more at www.clinique.co.uk

If you're bored with high street make-up brands you might want to go further afield and try the Make Up Store. This fabulous Swedish range stocks every colour under the sun for vibrant long-lasting results.
The Micro Shadows (£10.50), are highly pigmented so they provide intense colour and can even be used as a blush.

The beneficial qualities of cocoa butter are well-known, but Palmer's has also harnessed the qualities of olive oil in its Olive Body Butter (£4.99.
This range is lacking the usual delicious cocoa aroma, but the non-greasy lotion quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving it super soft. The vitamin E ingredients also help ensure skin is strong enough to tackle the sun's damaging effects.
