Festive season tanning tips for the perfect glow

And just like that, the most fabulous month of the year has arrived. We’ve no doubt that our Bella Babes’ diaries are packed full of a whole host of seriously stylish events this Christmas and of course, will want a tan that’s always on point. December is definitely all about the style and to show it off to the max, a gorgeous golden glow is essential.
So this festive season, rock a perfect glow 24/7 thanks to our tried and tested tanning tips.
Step 1: The perfect base
The not-so-secret way to get a great tan, is all about achieving the perfect base. Never has this been truer than during the winter months, when our skin tends to be drier due to the colder weather and exposure to artificial heating. On the day you plan to tan, jump in the shower and gently exfoliate your skin from head-to-toe, using our Triple Action Glycolic Body Scrub. Make sure you pay a little extra attention to those hard-to-tan areas such as the ankles and knees. This process will clear your skin of dead cells, offering a smooth base for flawless tanning.
Step 2: Find your perfect tan
The great thing about our tanning collection is that there really is something for every tanning scenario. Whether you prefer mousse or lotion, or like your tan to be light, medium, dark or extra dark, we have the perfect match. Plus, our Skin Perfecting Instant Tan will come in handy for those last minute party invites this Christmas. Don’t forget to pick up one of our Luxury Velvet Tanning Mitts too, for ease of application and to protect those hands from staining.
Step 3: Elevate your look
Now that your tan is on point, it’s time to take it to the next level – it is Christmas after all! Thankfully, we have two products to help you do just that! Firstly, our Flawless Filter Body Make-Up, gives skin a HD finish and instant colour. This handy product blurs imperfections for a picture-perfect finish, so good, that you won’t need a filter! Next up, our Skin Perfecting Illuminating Bronzing Powder highlights, reflects light and adds a subtle coverage giving your skin the ultimate natural golden glow this Christmas.
Step 4: Keep the glow alive
And because everyone wants to keep the glow alive from Christmas through to New Year’s Eve, our Self Tanning Gradual Moisturiser will be your skin savior. This tan can be used to gradually build up a sun-kissed glow overtime, or it can applied to top up your existing tan, for fresh colour that you won’t want to say bye to anytime soon.
Tis the season to glow! Happy Christmas from the Bellamianta team x
