Perfect Fake Tan on Holiday

Have you every stepped off the plane looking bronzed and glowing, only to look distinctly paler about four days into your holiday?

In the Salon our favourite product is Fake Bake, although there are many other good brands out there. It doesn’t seem to wear off as patchy as some other brands and lasts longer in the skin.

However any fake tan will wear off quickly if you are constantly in and out of water. Chlorine bleaches the skin and salt water draws the colour out of the skin, not to mention sand which is a natural exfoliant.

So what can you do to prolong the life of your tan? I personally recommend applying a product such as St Tropez Everyday on top of your tan. It is colourless so you can wear it in the daytime, if not swimming, or at night. It doesn’t smell too bad either! You can just apply it where the tan is wearing off, possibly the legs or arms. If you use a fairly light shade, say fair to medium, you really can’t go wrong. It will smooth out any patchiness and make you look once more as if you have just arrived!
