Posh’s trusted stylist, Ben Cooke, says: “If you don’t protect your hair from the sun’s rays with a hat or even a leave-in mask, you’ll pay the price when you return from your holiday.

“Dried-out hair soaks up moisture from the atmosphere, leaving it frizzy and unmanageable.”

At the salon: If your locks are seriously fried, try the new Nanomax Permanent Hair Repair Treatment (from £50). A special ceramic brush is used to coat each strand of hair with a conditioning mist for the ultimate in silky locks. A single treatment improves condition by 80 per cent.

At home: Aussie’s latest miracle product targets frizz. With aloe vera and jojoba, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Frizz Remedy, £4.49, balances the hair’s natural moisture and is a great weekly frazzle-fighting treatment.

Problem: Sunburnt skin

We’ve heard all the warnings about the damaging effects of the sun, but too often the quest for that perfect tan means you end up salmon pink rather than gorgeous gold.

“It’s essential to keep sunburnt skin hydrated,” says Nichola Joss, skincare guru to Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow. “Not only will it soothe sore, red skin, it will also help to keep the damaged top layer of skin from shedding.

“The best hydrators are shea butters, soothing aloe vera, and absorbing dry oils,” Nichola adds.

At the salon: The Clarins Super Hydrator treatment, £58, uses Hawaiian candlenut oil to drench thirsty skin, transforming it from scaly and flaky to silky-soft in one treatment.

At home: L’Occitane’s After-Sun Balm, £13, from the Do Brasil range, uses organic vegetable butter from the Cupuaçu plant, a cousin of the cocoa tree. This super-moisturiser can absorb more than four times its volume in water, so it’s a real godsend for thirsty skin.

Problem: Brittle nails

“Nails should grow stronger and longer during the summer,” says Glenis Baptiste, celebrity manicurist. “But too much sun exposure can dry out nails, causing them to break.”

At the salon: For post-holiday nails that won’t chip, split or break, head straight for the Nails Inc. Three Week Manicure, £50. A unique gel formula is applied to each nail and set under a UV lamp, leaving you with glossy nails that stay perfect for almost a month.

At home: Glenis suggests filing the nails in one direction until they are quite short. Then make sure they’re as hard as, well, nails, with an intensive polish, like the Stronger Nail Cure, £7.99, from Glenis’ own range. Use it twice a week and you can say goodbye to flaking and peeling.

Problem: Ingrown hairs

There’s no escaping regular summer de-fuzzing, but with all that shaving, waxing and epilating, you’re likely to get a few ingrown hairs come September.

“Armpits and bikini lines are especially prone,” says Deborah Clarke, head of training at Thalgo. At the salon: “The key to ridding yourself of ingrown hairs is exfoliation, which encourages hair to grow outwards,” Deborah says.

Dove Spa’s Hot Stuff treatment, from £35, includes a full body scrub using a warm polish to buff the skin, leaving it bump-free.

At home: Thalgo’s Biodépyl Concentrate, £35, helps to slow down regrowth, leaving the hairs finer and softer so they are less likely to curl back on themselves and grow inwards.

Problem: Hard heels

A summer of neglect and weeks walking in flip-flops can lead to cracked heels and tough, dry skin.

At the salon: The Murad Manhattan Beach Feet Pedicure, £40, sees a glycolic peel applied to slough away stubborn dead skin.

At home: A pumice stone will help to get rid of hard skin. Then follow up with a good helping of moisturiser designed specifically for the feet, like Scholl Deep Moisturising Cream, £4.25. It will make your tootsies feel a huge 80 per cent softer.
