Self-tanning Lotions
With so many risks associated with sun bathing, from premature aging to skin cancer, the only safe way to achieve that golden glow is with a little help from self-tanning lotions.
But this is not a look that is easy to achieve. From streaking, patching and the dreaded orange glow, achieving that healthy two-week holiday look can be a bit tricky. Top celebrity make up artist Armand Beasley gives us his top tips on how to look that like a bronzed beauty without going near the sun.
- Start with the ankle and foot first, and then work up the body. On you legs go in long sweeping movements towards the heart area.
- On areas like your knees and elbows, go in a slight rotation and use a mitten if you can.
- To avoid a patchy tan, every two days exfoliate so that your colour fades gradually.
