To Tan or not to Tan - That is the question




Are you pale and interesting? Then the answer is no. This only applies to a small number of you. The porcelain beauties with an ivory complexion that suits their hair eyes and style.

For the rest of us mere mortals a touch of summer glow makes the difference between photo's showing healthy good looks as opposed to us imitating Tim Burton's corpse bride.

So what's my advice?

If you're gonna do it do it right, RIGHT DO IT TO ME.

Thats right, if you can afford it then go to a salon and let the proffesionals do it for you. Recommended brands include Sudo and St Tropez.

Less is more with fake tan, you don't want to end up looking like one of Wonka's employees.

If you're gonna do it at home my favorites are Lancome Flash Bronzer if you have a few quid to spare, L'oreal Sublime bronze if you aren't to flash. If you're broke and more so if you are scared cheap instants such as Rimmel and Sally Hanson are fool proof.

Always:

Exfoliate beforehand

Be careful of elbows, ankles, and hands. (A little moisturiser can help)

Use a hairdryer to dry off the tan if possible, I find this both enhances the colour and avoids staining clothes, towels and bed linen.


In the salon I work at all the best tans are available for the bargain price of €25
