Milan in August feels like a different city: quieter, brighter, pared back. The streets grow still, the heat settles in, and the days take on a rhythm of their own.
It is also a month that asks more of hair and skin. Strong sunlight, more frequent washing, warm and humid air that makes styling harder to hold, freshly shaved skin left more sensitive and exposed: familiar summer conditions, but ones best met with carefully chosen products.
For those who remain in the city, the aim is to rediscover a sense of freshness and keep hair in place even in the heat and humidity. For those who travel, a few trusted products deserve a place in the suitcase: those that protect the skin, are suited to more frequent cleansing and keep hair neatly styled without weighing it down.
With this in mind, Antica Barbieria Colla has selected five products for the height of summer, whether August is spent in the city, by the sea or in the mountains.
From 31 July to 7 August, all five products in the Summer Essentials selection are available from the Antica Barbieria Colla online shop at 15% off.

Capsicum & Menthol Lotion
One of Antica Barbieria Colla’s best-loved and most requested products. Capsicum and menthol invigorate the scalp and leave an intense, unmistakable sensation of freshness. The Lotion is rarely included in seasonal promotions, making its place in this selection a particularly unusual opportunity.
After Shaving Sun Cream SPF30
Created specifically for shaved skin, when it is more vulnerable to sun exposure. Its deliberately non-waterproof SPF30 formula is light and readily tolerated by sensitive skin. Aloe, almond oil and wheat germ oil lend calming, softening and soothing properties to its light, enveloping texture.
Black Fig Hair Gel
An ultra-light, water-based gel that defines summer styling without adding weight. Applied to damp or dry hair, it provides a natural yet firm hold, keeps the hair soft and rinses away easily with water, leaving no residue.
Mallow Shampoo
Especially well suited to frequent washing during the warmer months. Mallow, known for its soothing, moisturising and calming properties, helps bring relief when the scalp is irritated by environmental conditions. Suitable for daily use, it cleanses gently and leaves the hair bright and full of volume without weighing it down.
Almond Shampoo
The first shampoo created by Antica Barbieria Colla founder Dino Colla, in 1924. Its formula centres on almond oil, rich in fatty acids, proteins and vitamin E, to nourish dry hair without weighing it down. A particularly fitting choice in summer, when more frequent washing can leave the hair in need of extra nourishment.
A selection for the needs of summer
Protection for shaved skin, gentle cleansing for more frequent washing, styling that holds without adding weight, and an invigorating sense of freshness on the most sultry days. Summer Essentials brings together five carefully chosen products for August, equally suited to the city and to days away.
The promotion runs from 31 July to 7 August, exclusively on the Antica Barbieria Colla online shop, with 15% off each of the five products in the Summer Essentials selection.
Five products chosen for the warmest month of the year: practical at home, easy to take away and selected with the same care that has always guided Antica Barbieria Colla.
