Tanning Routine


Step 1: Exfoliate:
I always have a good old soak in the bath before I scrub so my fake tan comes off easily. I use exfoliating gloves that you can pick up from Superdrug for £2.99 and some Imperial Leather Foam Burst Shower Gel because it lathers up, smells really good and leaves my skin really soft.

Step 2: Moisturize:
I use the Body Shop Body Butter in Almond on my ankles, feet, hands, wrists, knees and elbows because it's a really rich moisturiser and stops me from getting dark knees and elbows!

Step 3: Tan:
I use rubber gloves (pack of 5 pairs, £3.00 St.Tropez) and a tanning mit which was around £3 this combination means I get a streak free application, it's quick, easy and I don't get orange hands which is always a plus. I'm currently using St.Moriz which retails for £2.99.. you've all heard of it! It gives me a really nice dark colour, doesn't smell awful in the morning however does fade on me after 3 days so I have to reapply!

What do you guys use for your tanning routine... ???

  7. I never seem to be able to tan :( - neither fake or naturally! I think it's because my mums side of the family is from Scotland and my dad is Irish so I'm full of celtic blood and doomed to be pale forever! lol. I might give fake tan another try though :) x
