face melting off. check. hair resembles hyde park bushes. check. strong urge to stuff head inside a giant watermelon just to cool down. check. here are some beauty pick-me-ups to even the score with old man summertime:


foot play.
play footsie and with your food. summer pedis at the parlour are good enough to eat. (though we suggest not sticking toe in mouth.) your choice? lemon, chocolate, or peppermint. there's also the cocktail pedicure complete with a strawberry daiquiri and toes painted to match. binging is strictly encouraged. 3 ravey street london. EC2A 4QP. 020.7729. 6969. www.theparlour.co.uk


one-stop shop.
your mirror on the wall? not good. option 1: paper bag over head. option 2: neville hair & beauty swat team. in an hour and a half, your hair will be fluffed, nails and toes coloured, and your makeup tastefully done by the pros (i.e. not your cousin tina). then look in the mirror. 5 pont street london. SW1 9LS. 020.7235.3654.


tan-a-rama.
step away from the clearance bin self-tanner and put yourself in the hands of celeb-fave susie lung. her 'fantasy tan' will take you from casper to bronze beauty, with the chances of turning pumpkin being slim to none. colours are custom to match your skin tone. while you're there, test out her 'facial dynamics', a 75 minute deep, detox massage with argan oil, sandalwood, and jasmine to stimulate the blood and relieve tension. susie lung beauty studio. 50 manchester street london. W1M 5PB. 07957.771.503.
