Get glowing this Christmas
If you’re planning on raising your hemlines and baring your arms this party season you might be wondering exactly how you’re going to do it without scaring your fellow partygoers to death with your less than bronzed skin!
We all know that sunbeds are a major no-no, and unless you’re really lucky, a trip to the Caribbean is unlikely to be on the cards!
This is where self tan is an absolute Godsend, and with the amount of fantastic products on the market today you no longer have to worry about streaky and orange skin.
There are 3 main types of self tan on the market today- instant self tan, gradual self tan and standard self tan.
Instant self tan is a life saver if you’re really pushed for time or forgot to apply your tan the night before. Instant self tan, such as the cult Rimmel Sun Shimmer, instantly adds colour to your skin and is tinted so you can see exactly where you’re applying it.
Gradual self tan is a newer concept, which started with the ever popular Johnson and Johnson Holiday Skin lotion. Gradual self tan is fantastic as it generally comes in the form of a daily moisturiser, and can produce up a natural looking tan after just a few days use.
St. Tropez is perhaps one of the most popular self tans ever, and is a celebrity favourite. Standard self tan is best applied just before bed- so that it’s fully developed come morning.
One of the fantastic things about most self tans today is that they are extremely moisturising, which makes tanning a doubly-useful part of your skin care regime.
