Our tips and tricks will keep you feeling fresh even on the most humid of days

Keep your face on: Foundation running?

Boots Skin Clear Shine Removing Blotting Papers are some of the cheapest I’ve found, at £4 for 50 sheets — plus they’re similar to Clarins Pore Perfecting mattifying blotting papers, £15, from Debenhams.

When it comes to setting your slap, MUA is a great brand for summer-friendly make-up, and its primer and setting spray are both a cheap and cheerful £4 at Superdrug.

Save: £11 on blotting sheets

Don’t get dis-tress-ed: Dry hair is more likely to attract moisture, which can leave your tresses looking frazzled.

But you can combat this with a deep conditioner.

Wilko has a two for £6 offer on Aussie’s 3 Minute Miracle treatment, usually £4 each.

I’m also a fan of Garnier’s Ultimate Blends Frizzy Treatment mask, down from £6.99 to £3.49 at Boots.

Save: £4 on a towel
