Reach for the natural makeup bag for a sunkissed glow
That sunkissed just back from holiday look is always desirable and natural makeup fans have now been offered some advice on how to achieve it without leaving the comfort of their home.
Skin therapist Louise Thomas-Minns explained it's always advisable to choose self tanning products instead of sun beds, but even these "can aggravate skin issues such as acne".
Instead she recommended reaching into a natural makeup bag to create a healthy glow.
"Spending a couple of minutes daily massaging the skin when using your moisturiser, and being clever with bronzers, can give you that relaxed just back from holiday look," Ms Thomas-Minns advised.
The comments come following research by Superdrug, which found the average female will spend 680 hours applying self tanning products during their lifetime, which is the equivalent of spending an entire month bronzing.
For those who are still determined to reach for the fake tan, Ms Thomas-Minns explained the most important thing before applying any "camouflaging products" is ensuring the skin underneath is healthy.
