Johnson's Holiday Skin Body Lotion and Facial Moisturiser, from £5.99 (various sizes) at Boots
Selling out faster than Boots can restock their shelves, Johnson’s Holiday Skin is essentially a moisturiser but with a small amount of tanning agent, so as you moisturise you gradually build up a subtle colour. Great for diligent appliers of moisturiser (slackers move on to L’Oreal Sublime Bronze). Choose from light or medium tan body lotion; normal/dry facial moisturiser or normal/combi facial moisturiser.Available from: Boots, tel: (08456) 090 055.
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.
