Tan Tuesday- winter tanning

The seasons have definitely started to change and summer tans are fading after the Indian summer sun has turned to rain. 

To keep that glowing skin follow these three easy steps to having a natural looking tan through the winter. 

1. Exfoliate- exfoliating away the dead skin cells will give your skin a healthy appearance and texture because fresh skin cells are on view and the dead scaly ones have been washed away. There are several ways of doing this, but the easiest way is to use a gentle exfoliating glove or cloth in the shower daily. Swap your loofah for Dermalogica's Exfoliating Body Cloth or He Shi's exfoliating body glove and wash with a ph-balanced shower gel like Dermalogica's Conditioning Bodywash. 

2. Moisturise- moisturising after each shower is important to lock in moisture and keep skin soft and supple. There's a 3 minute rule that is the prime time after bathing to apply body cream for the best hydrating and moisturising benefits. During the autumnal and winter months there are lots of daily elements that zap moisture from your skin- cold weather, car heaters, and central heating everywhere you go. So it's extra important to put moisture back into your skin to help combat rough, itchy, dry skin. 

3. Apply a gradual tan- HeShi Gradual Tan is a fresh scented, light weight moisturiser that gradually builds up a tan. During summer months it can be used to maintain a healthy tan between holidays and sun exposure, but in the winter it's a great tool to give your skin a gentle hue of colour. By applying this moisturiser all over your body every 2-3 days it gives your skin a gentle glow during the winter months to help avoid the pastey, drawn look that sometimes appears when the weather turns dreary.
