We can all cross our fingers, toes and everything else that this good weather lasts all summer long. After all, sunshine gives us all the dose of Vitamin D we've been craving for the past few months, not to mention the outdoor socialising it enables. We're all in better moods when the weather's great, but what happens if the summer turns into a washout?

Well, short of booking a holiday (if you have, congrats to you) which is clearly a fairly expensive solution, there is perhaps another way to ensure you retain your excellent mood and feel your very best – even in a thunder storm.

At John Lewis & Partners, there's a host of some of the most innovative, luxurious and downright dreamy beauty products that are guaranteed to make you feel a million dollars within mere moments.

From Hello Sunday's genius moisturiser with built-in SPF to bareMINERALS' Complexion Rescue Hydrating Foundation Stick (does what it says on the tin), there are buys to give you your best-ever skin, as well as wonder products like This Works' Perfect Legs Skin Miracle, which will revive even the most exhausted among us.

Whether you need a long soak in the bath (hello, Verden's glorious bath oil) or fancy a new fragrance that will put you in a better mood (enter Prada's new additions to its Les Infusions collection) there is a carefully curated array of products on offer that feel, quite simply, miraculous.

So, don't worry what the weather's doing. You'll feel (and look) absolutely fabulous come rain or shine.
