Preparing your skin for a fake bronzing session

However desperate you may be to show off a beautifully bronzed look in your new skimpy spring/ summer clothing, sunbathing and sun beds are both absolute no-no’s. However tempting it may be to get a glow by whatever means necessary- even if it means putting your health at risk- you need to completely banish the idea and instead hit the bottle!

Getting your glow out of a bottle is a lot safer than getting it via UV rays, and as there are products out there which can provide you with a really convincing glow, nobody will be able to tell the difference.

In order to get a natural looking glow though, you need to properly prepare your skin. Failing to do so puts you at a far greater risk of a patchy and streaky tan- which will instantly give the game away.

Preparing your skin properly involves getting rid of any dry and rough patches of skin- and a good exfoliant will enable you to achieve this.

Dermalogica Exfoliating Body Scrub is perfect for your preparations, as it gets rid of any dead skin cells to reveal the smoother brighter skin underneath. After exfoliating, reach for a good moisturiser such as Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream.

In no time at all you will be flaunting a smooth, bronzed look which you’ve achieved the safe and sensible way.

Take advantage of bath time skin benefits

A long hot bath is the perfect way to relax after a particularly tough day, and there’s nothing quite like sitting back with a good book and a few candles to soothe the day’s stresses away.

However, on the down side, unless you’re very careful, a soak in a bubble bath can be very drying, and you could find yourself towelling off extremely dehydrated skin.

You don’t have to give up your relaxing baths and stick to showers though, as simply by investing in the right products you can make bath time really beneficial to skin.

Instead of using products such as standard beauty soaps and body washes which smell gorgeous but which strip the skin of essential oils, take a look at the products in the Dermalogica Body Therapy range.

The Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash, Exfoliating Body Scrub and Body Hydrating Cream products are fantastic bath time essentials, and all will help to leave the skin feeling soft, supple and in superb condition.

So, look to Dermalogica and make bath time not only relaxing, but also highly beneficial to your skin.

Beautiful bikini body skin

Even though you never know when the next volcano might erupt, if you’re going on holiday in the coming months, you shouldn’t let this stop your preparations in the quest to be the ultimate beach babe!

There are always those who start to panic a week before they’re due to go away- having left those all important preparations until the very last minute! To make sure this isn’t you, and in order to feel as confident as possible when you’re soaking up those gorgeous rays on a beautiful beach, you need to start taking action now.

One of the main causes of a confidence crisis is the condition of the skin on the body, and it’s no surprise. After months and months of being hidden away under numerous layers, skin may be looking a little worse for wear.

Thankfully, it’s easy to get it back into peak condition and smooth enough to sustain a stunning suntan.

Use Dermalogica The Ultimate Buffing Cloth in conjunction with Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash during a bath or shower, for supple and soft skin. It’s always important to moisturise the entire body afterwards, as hot water can strip skin of essential moisture. Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream works wonders on all skin types, and will provide much needed rehydration.

Now, all that’s left to do is go for a shopping spree for those all important bikinis!
