Julie's style secrets

You’ve got the tan.. now find out the best ways to keep it for a wee while..

SO NOW we’ve all got a bit of a tan, it’s time to think about how we’re going to keep it.

It’s lovely to have a bit of a glow but we all know how sun can damage and dry out your skin. Within weeks, that lovely tan can become a flaky, patchy mess.

Moisturising and exfoliating every day will really help to prolong the life of your tan. I’ve found a few products that get the job done in a jiffy.

I’m a little bit obsessed with The Ritual of Sakura Shower Scrub, £10 at Rituals. It’s so easy to use and the scent is amazing. It’s a really fuss-free way to exfoliate.

After the shower, a spray-on moisturiser is the quick way to keep your skin soft. Aldi do a really fab Lacura Spray Moisturiser for just £1.99. It takes just a couple of minutes to cover your whole body.

To enhance what you’ve already got, Tea to Tan Face and Body, £55, By Terry @ Space NK is a fast and effective product.

You just smooth the brown liquid over you body and face and it deepens your tan by a couple of shades. It’s particularly handy for a night out when you need a tan in a hurry.

It’s expensive but at least it lasts for ages.
