I am addicted to & Other Stories Body Wash in Fig Fiction, £5 - it smells like holiday. One lingering whiff of the scent and I'm transported to balmy nights abroad where the aroma of exotic florals mingle with salty sea air. As the bottle says "Musky green fig leaves swaying in the warm evening air..." conjures up the aroma perfectly. It's addictive, a fresh scent with a heady depth, it's really quite sexy.

But beyond the shower gel, & Other Stories offers up a Body Souffle, £10 and a Body Scrub, £7, so you can layer up for a longer lasting scent.

Then there's the Nainsook Body OIl, £12, that works brilliantly as an after sun bolstering the look of your tan by giving your skin a subtle sheen. Vitamin E and cottonseed oil, a natural emollient, soothes the skin, while plum imparts a pretty fruity scent to the skin.

For everyday here the Calico Serum with SPF15 will protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays. You'll want to call on a higher SPF (30+) when you head off on your holidays.
