Winter warmers<br />

Despite the mid-winter chills, who can resist<br />

the lure of a golden summer glow? Here are<br />

some of our favourite tried <strong>and</strong> tested selftanners<br />

to help you go faux like a pro.<br />

Before you begin, make sure you slough<br />

off dead skin cells to extend your tan’s life<br />

<strong>and</strong> also prevent patchy results. Use a buff,<br />

loofah or grainy body scrub to exfoliate,<br />

paying extra attention to drier areas such<br />

as elbows, knees <strong>and</strong> ankles that soak up<br />

colour more intensely.<br />

A word of warning though: a fake tan can<br />

make you look more faux than fabulous in<br />

winter, so remember less is more. It’s easier<br />

to add layers to a conservative tan than<br />

lighten a too-dark job. Alabaster beauties<br />

may benefit more from a moisturiser with<br />

built-in tanner, which will gradually build <strong>and</strong><br />

maintain a holiday glow.<br />
