How can you get bronzed limbs without spending two weeks lazing on a tropical beach? Easy - slap on some fake tan. Sprays, lotions, oils, mists... when correctly applied you'll get a beautiful, natural-looking tan. Firstly, to avoid unsightly streaks and uneven patches, make sure you scrub your body, paying particular attention to stubborn areas - elbows, heels and knees. Follow with an oil-based moisturiser so that your fake tan is easier to smooth across your skin. Result: gorgeous, bronzed pins to complement your favourite summer dress!
Dark circles, bags, tired eyes - there's no hiding the fact that you've spent summer tied to your desk. For a bright-eyed look, opt for anti-wrinkle creams: they smoothe out this fragile zone and get rid of tired features that sour our faces. Add an eye-care treatment to camouflage dark circles and a brightening primer to widen your eyes, but go easy on the make-up - a touch of mascara is all you need. Result: your refreshed face and sparkling eyes will convince everyone you've spent the summer lounging on a yacht.
To get the glow of a girl who spent her summer strolling along St Tropez's beaches, make sure you moisturize:
well-hydrated skin looks wholesome and healthy. Moisturise clean skin morning and night, using a product adapted to your needs - anti-wrinkle, anti-blemish or anti-ageing. And once or twice a week treat yourself to a scrub. It will get rid of any dead skin cells that clog pores and sallow the complexion. Avoid foundations, which are unsuited to hot, sticky weather: go for a bronzing powder and a dab of pink or coral blusher on the apple of your cheeks. Result:
a tanned face and rosy cheeks that will make others green with envy!
