Excessive sun exposure is very dangerous, especially in our part of the world. Not only does it cause premature aging it can also lead to life threatening conditions such as skin cancer.
So, if there’s one piece of advice I can offer you it’s this - Fake it, don’t bake it!
The ‘fake bake’ industry is booming and we really are spoilt for choice when it comes the different types of self-tanning products available nowadays.
There are gels, lotions, sprays and mousses which deliver smooth, even, natural looking tans without exposing yourself to the harsh summer sun.
I’ve been a self-tanning fan for years, and you’ll find me ‘fake baking’ before you’ll find me by the pool or at the beach – it’s just not worth the risk!
Here’s a quick run down on some of our favourite self-tanning products in store now!
