1. DOUBLE VALUE Bourjois’ Little Round Pot Blushers come in several shades in a dinky compact. Now there’s Le Duo Blush £6.49, Bourjois with two shades, a dark one to brush below your cheekbone and lighter one to sweep over cheeks for a sculpted look. The fine texture blends easily, so it looks entirely natural!
4. SELF TAN Once your skin is prepped try Solait Insta-Grad Tan Oil £9.99, Superdrug. Spritz on and smooth in (a tanning mitt is handy) for a natural-looking glow. You can build colour; reapply after 30 minutes for a deeper tan. Use once or twice a week to top colour up. Lightly scented with moisturising oils. 2.INSTANT RELIEF Finding a gentle skincare range that really does relieve itchiness is wonderful. Oatmeal is the key ingredient in the AVEENO® Dermexa range. The Body Wash is a creamy texture and doesn’t leave skin feeling tight, while the Emollient Cream spreads well in a soothing, silky veil. £9.99 each, Boots. Boots 5.
