Six of the Best Self Tanning Products
Crow's feet, sunburn and peeling shoulders do not a good look make, so go for the fake bake this summer. But first, the five golden rules of self-tanning. Repeat after us:1) Exfoliate. And exfoliate again. Use a loofah, a body brush or an exfoliating scrub and work it girlfriend.
2) Moisturise.
3) Hairline, ankles and elbows give the game away so apply sparingly but thoroughly.
4) Wash your hands. (Orange palms = not nice).
5) Easy does it. Think sun-kissed Cameron Diaz, not Tangoed Jodie Marsh.
