GET A GORGEOUS GLOW
It’s All In The Preparation
The secret to avoiding those dreaded streaks? Start with a clean slate. Before you apply your tanning product, buff your body to silky smooth perfection with a gentle exfoliator – try The Body Shop’s summery Mango Body Scrub (from £5). It’s goodbye to dull, dry skin and hello to a healthy glow!
Choose The Right Shade For Your Skin
Us girls love a deep tan – not only does it make us look more healthy but it can also make us look slimmer. But unless you want to end up looking like a WAG, remember to choose a shade that’s not too far from your natural colour. Test your tanning product on your skin the day before – many products can take up to 24 hours to develop fully and you don’t want any nasty orange shocks!
Spray And Go
These days we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to self- tanning products but unless you’ve got a lot of time on your hands, we think spray-ons are your best bet. Try Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer Dry Body Mist (£9.99). The no-fuss spray application works at any angle – perfect for covering those hard to reach areas like the back of your legs. Even better, build up a natural looking tan over time with a tan enhancing moisturiser – we love Dove’s Summer Glow Beauty Body Lotion (£6.99).
And your face? Well that’s easy, simply grab your biggest make-up brush and your favourite bronzer and gently caress your cheekbones, the tip of your forehead and just under your chin with a gorgeous hint of golden colour.
Team your new sun-kissed look with one of this season’s block colour summer dresses for a look that’s right on trend.
