It's the holiday season!

Before you go…

Preparing for your holiday is all part of your holiday experience. Looking and feeling good when you step on that aeroplane is a fantastic way to start your holiday.

Top tips to prepare:

1. Use a tan accelerator two to three weeks prior to your holiday. This will enable you to tan more quickly and evenly and also make your tan last longer.

2. Exfoliate your whole body a few days before to help achieve that golden healthy glow and to keep the appearance of your skin youthful.

3. If you’re feeling a little pale then don’t forget to apply self tan the day before you go away. This will give you the feel good factor as you step on that aeroplane.

4. Prepare for wearing strappy sandals by exfoliating, moisturising and rasping your feet. Tidy your cuticles and perfect your nails with a high shine polish, this will finish the pre holiday look perfectly.

5. We all know that too much sun exposure can lead to premature ageing, so why not make sure that your sun care has anti-ageing benefits as well as UV protection?

6. Always use a high factor for the first few days of your holiday before moving on to a lower factor and never stay too long in the sun.
