When we're packing for the holiday season, often our make-up and beauty essentials take a back seat in favour of an unnecessarily large number of bikini's and beach towels. It's only when it comes to that last minute rush that putting our beauty kit together in advance seems like a good idea. So instead of a panicked throw together of beauty bits to take away with you, why not take some time to invest in Spring / Summer's hottest hair and beauty essentials to nail your holiday look to perfection?
The lovely people at Harrods have shot a beautiful array of holiday hotspot images which pretty much epitomise poolside beauty in all its glory. Check them out below along with the must have products to help you nab some of that Spring / Summer beauty we're all after.
These days, SPF and skin protection on the face is of up most importance. Be prepared with sensible creams and wear them pre-sun to keep your skin in good condition. If you want to get a bit of colour, try one of the bronzing powders listed below.
Sisley Facial Sun Cream SPF 10 £103 >>
Sisley Self Tanning Hydrating Facial Skin Care £70 >>
Clinique Super City Block SPF 40 £16.00 >>
Shiseido Sun Protection Lip Treatment SPF20 £23.00 >>

Protecting your hair from sun damage is nearly as important as the face. Prepare your locks for the damaging rays with some colour protecting cream, and for beach side waves, simply spray in some salt spray.
