Zesty body lotions, sweet perfumes and candy-like lipsticks are on our must-have list for summer. Take a look at our top 12 food-related beauty buys that are almost good enough to eat… 

If you’re looking to smell as good as a bar of Lindt chocolate or you’re in the market for a zingy face wash to get you into a morning groove, the beauty industry, impressively, has it all. Food ingredients like orange, honey and even apple cider vinegar have been infused with some of our staple beauty products for the ultimate pampering experience. Not only do the products smell amazing, but some of these ingredients have properties to enhance the look and feel of our skin without causing any irritation. Brands like Lush have been using natural ingredients for decades. Oat infused face masks have been used to calm sensitive, acne-prone skin and aloe-vera lip balms are used to hydrate and plump up your pout.

Of course, nothing beats a slice of tarty lemon cake but smelling just as delicious is a close second. Take a look at our top food-related beauty products for the summer.
