Best Summer Hair and Skin Treatments from Paul Edmonds London: Hydration, UV Protection & Holiday Prep

Summer is often romanticised as a season of freedom, lightness, and that enviable golden glow. But while you’re planning airport outfits and sunset cocktails, your hair and skin are quietly bracing themselves. The truth is, summer can be relentless. UV rays strip moisture, chlorine weakens hair, and humidity frays ends and blurs skin clarity.

At Paul Edmonds London, we don’t just repair summer damage, we help you avoid it altogether. This season, we invite you to rethink your beauty ritual. From pre-holiday prep to on-the-go essentials and post-travel recovery, we’ve crafted your ultimate Summer Beauty Prescription, rooted in expert salon treatments, dermatologist-approved skincare, and luxury home-care products, all available at www.pauledmonds.com.

Why Pre-Holiday Hair & Skin Treatments Are Essential for Summer

Prepping your beauty regime before departure is more than indulgence, it’s strategic. Hair that's well-hydrated and cuticle-sealed is far less likely to suffer from sun fade or frizz. Skin that's calm and barrier-strong will tolerate heat, travel stress, and UV exposure more gracefully.

Start your summer transition in-salon with our Collagen Treatment. Packed with amino acids, it strengthens the hair fibre ahead of sun exposure. Or consult your colour expert for a professional clear gloss treatment it’s ultra-low pH balance seals the cuticle, reduces porosity, and enhances tone and shine, all while building UV resilience.

For those favouring a natural, biodynamic approach, the Oway Moisturising Range delivers botanical power through murumuru butter and olive extract, ideal for restoring elasticity to fragile hair and giving it that coveted summer bounce.

Meanwhile, prepare skin with a dose of strengthening calm. SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Serum is a holiday favourite, formulated with hyaluronic acid and botanical extracts to reduce sensitivity, prevent blotchiness, and soothe inflammation either before or post sun exposure, this is a must have.

Top Products to Prep Hair and Skin Before a Summer Holiday

If your passport’s ready, your product line-up should be too. Travel-sized essentials save space without sacrificing performance and when they’re as refined as those found at Paul Edmonds, they become part of the pleasure.

Shu Uemura Essence Absolue (Travel Size) is a must. This camellia oil-rich serum delivers instant shine and UV protection, taming pre-flight frizz and adding luminous softness.

The Oway Moisturising Hair Mask (Mini) fits perfectly in a cabin bag and delivers spa-level hydration after long-haul air or sun exposure. For lightweight strength and anti-breakage benefits, reach for Shu Uemura’s Izumi Tonic (Travel), a rice water-infused tonic that builds cumulative strength with every use.

Don’t forget to prep your skin. The SkinCeuticals Phyto Essence Mist offers antioxidant support, barrier fortification, and cooling comfort, ideal in-flight or before SPF. Think of it as a vitamin mist veil to keep stress at bay.

How to Protect Hair and Skin from Sun, Salt, and Humidity

The moment your toes hit the sand, your regime must shift into protection mode. The intensity of the sun, the dehydrating effects of sea salt, and chlorine’s chemical chaos all require support from the very first day of holiday.

Step forward, the Kérastase Soleil range. Created specifically for this purpose, the Bain Après-Soleil Shampoo rinses away salt, chlorine, and pollution, while the Masque Après-Soleil replenishes moisture lost to sun and heat. For days out or poolside glamour, the Huile Sirène Spray delivers UV protection with a luminous tousled finish.

Skin, meanwhile, demands a 360° approach. Heliocare’s Oil-Free Gel SPF 50 protects against UVA, UVB, visible light, and infrared, all while offering an elegant matte finish. If you’re prone to dryness or skin sensitivity, Decree Daily Shield SPF 30 gives you broad-spectrum protection with nourishing hydration.

For those seeking antioxidant support, SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF (perfect for combination dry oil skin types) combined with Photo+ Brightening Serum is ideal to support protect and correct skin health under stress and enhancing the efficacy of your chosen SPF.

Best Summer SPFs for Skin Protection and Hydration

SPF should never feel clinical. The new wave of sun care delivers high protection with high pleasure. Heliocare leads the pack with formulations infused with PLE technology (Polypodium Leucotomos Extract) a powerful antioxidant that combats sun-induced ageing and inflammation.

Among our go-to holiday essentials is the Invisible Spray SPF 50+ a dry-touch mist for the body that applies seamlessly, even on sandy skin. Then there’s Heliocare Airgel 50+, a featherlight foam that blends invisibly and dries matte, making it ideal for facial use under makeup.

And if you want internal support, try Heliocare Ultra D Capsules, oral supplements rich in Vitamin D and antioxidants that offer photoimmunoprotection from the inside out.
