In pursuit of the perfect tan...that lasts

I have a confession to make. I am a tanorexic and one of my life long goals is to look as glowing as possible for as long as possible, and at no time of year is this pursuit of self-improvement more prevalent than during the summer. I am aware that it is not the ‘done’ thing anymore, but I can’t help but admit that a tan does tend to give people that certain je ne sais quois. I’m not advising that we model ourselves on Magda from ‘Something About Mary’, but a little glow (with the armor of a good SPF) lifts the spirits. I am sure that I can’t be alone here.
So with that in mind I set about finding some easy to implement ways of making the holiday glow last longer than the plane ride home and I wanted to share them with you:

Pre-Holiday: Exfoliate
Make sure you exfoliate all over. I use a body brush as it kills two birds with one
stone; cellulite and dead skin. Brushing in upward motions towards the heart will stimulate blood flow and remove that layer of dead skin, creating a great base from which to cultivate an all over even tan.

During Holiday: Aftersun

Using aftersun at the end of each day on holiday is a must. Use when you get straight out of the shower to lock as much moisture in as possible. I like to use something that doesn’t contain any nasties in it and which has been a complete lifesaver when I’ve had a little too much sun and am sporting the all over shade
of shame: rouge. It’s called Rebound by Neways and I am yet to find anythin more brilliant.

Post-Holiday: Mosturise

I find that Ren’s Moroccan Rose Otto Body Cream is one of the most luxurious ways to love my body. It quickly hydrates and is easily absorbed, not to mention it smells divine.

Eat: Carrots and Tomatoes

Foods rich in beta-carotene, like carrots have been proven to influence skin tone, and eating tomatoes, which are packed with antioxidants called lycopene can protect your skin from burning.

Enjoy!
