Beauty Tip 47. The beauty of fake tan

We all love a tan. But unfortunately, we all can't jet off to the sun every month to maintain one.

Besides, regular sun worshipping causes premature aging and increases the risk of developing skin cancer.

Thank heavens for fake tan!

It's now possible to look like you've just stepped off an airplane every day of the week.

But remember, fake tan can sometimes look absolutely awful.

Once again less is more. You want a healthy glow, not a coat of Cuprinol.

Also take a little time to apply the product properly.

Tan patches and brown blotches are a beauty and style disaster.

If you don't want to go down the full fake tan route, you can still give your skin a lovely glow by using one of the many tinted moisturisers you can now buy.

Dove Summer Glow and L'Oreal Nutrisummer are two of the best, reasonably priced examples available in shops today.
