Beauty Tips

The sun is shining and we all want to feel and look our best, especially as we all tend to show a little more flesh in those steamy summer months.

We all like to take advantage of the warmer and longer days and get some rays as we chill out with family and friends but bare in mind that different beauty rules apply.

We all love to tan-but don't fry yourself for the sake of vanity!

If you do spend lots of time outside, be sure to use sunscreen with minimum SPF 15 and lots of it! The cancer-preventing benefits are obvious but if you don't want to look like a sack of old leather the protection factor is a must.

To save your skin from frying there are alternative methods you could try. The Body Shop's Nature's Minerals Bronzer is fantastic for an all over bronzed goddess look. It can be used on the face and body and there are two tones to choose from and better still it only costs

Just remember before you use any fake tan or bronzer products, it is important to use a facial and body scrub, to get rid off dead skin cells. You may also want to wear gloves unless you want your hands to look like they belong to an oompa loompa.

If you do have fair skin or burn easily in the sun, applying Aloe Vera will cool and soothe your skin and help you heal faster.
