Six tanning tricks to achieve a flawless glow without breaking the bank
LOVE Island is back on our screens and the cast are looking tan-tastic.
Want to bronze without breaking the bank?
Use these budget tanning tricks for a flawless glow.
SUPER DUPE: Avoid splashing out on top tanning brands with a trip to B&M.
If you want a tanning mist, the Tantalize brand, at £2.50, is a brilliant dupe for St Tropez’s Purity, which is £12.10 at Amazon.
Prefer the original? Home Bargains is selling St Tropez tanning serum, RRP £35, for just £3.99. In stores only.
THROW THE TOWEL IN: Prepping skin is crucial for a streak-free tan.
Exfoliation is a key but instead of spending money on mitts or scrubs, repurpose an old towel.
The rough texture is perfect for sloughing off dead cells, leaving skin ready to absorb the tanning product evenly.
Rub the towel gently over your skin in circular motions, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
SOCK IT TO ’EM: No tanning mitt? No problem.
Pop a couple of old clean socks on your hand and use them to buff in your tan instead.
Wash your hands thoroughly after applying.
THAT’S HANDY: Areas of dry skin, like elbows, knees and ankles, can absorb more tanning product, resulting in dark patches.
To avoid this, apply hand cream to these places before tanning.
The cream creates a barrier to prevent the tanning product clinging to dry skin, ensuring a natural-looking tan.
This easy trick helps you achieve a seamless glow.
REMOVAL SERVICE: If you end up with streaks or dark patches, don’t fork out for a tanning remover.
Instead, gently rub the area with a cotton pad soaked in lemon juice or leftover make-up remover.
This should lighten the area.
Then apply more tanning lotion if needed.
GLOW FOR IT: For a flawless Love Island-inspired glow, mix sparkly eyeshadow into body cream and rub it into your skin.
