Give your skin a break

All the late-night studying and stress of exams can really take a toll on your skin, so make sure to give it a break. Focus on hydrating your skin and sticking to a simple 3-step routine of cleanser, moisturiser, SPF and booster when needed.

Everyman on the Canal

This is an outdoor cinema in Granary Square at Kings Cross and is a perfect way to spend a summer evening with friends. There is something for everyone, whether you love a movie musical like Grease, an action-packed film like Dune: Part 1, or a classic like The Devil Wears Prada. There couldn’t be a better way to spend time.


Beach day

Head to Brighton beach with your friends for a day. It’s only an hour train ride from London. Everyone loves the beach and it’s so refreshing in the hot weather.

Carnaby Street Shopping

Stop by with your friends for some summer shopping. Whether you need some new clothes, shoes or a restock of your favourite indu products in Sephora (the new store just opened!), you are bound to find it all at Carnaby Street.


Pick up a new hobby

After all those weeks of revision, your brain deserves a break. Why don’t you try picking up a new hobby? You could try painting, pottery, a dance class or baking. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t good, it’s just about trying new things and having fun.
The most important thing after exams is rest, whether that’s catching up on sleep or hanging out with friends in the sun (of course using your SPF!), make sure you take the time to celebrate finishing your exams.
