I love having a warm summer glow on my face and body during the summer months, but there isn’t always time to fit in endless spray tans or be on a permanent holiday to keep your skin looking super tanned and glossy. So I thought I would share with you the products I am loving right now that help me achieve a sun-kissed look all through the warmer months.
These 4 products are serious game changers!
Super Model Body Bronzer by Charlotte Tilbury
I am obsessed with body bronzer at the moment! Not to be confused with self-tanner, body bronzer gives off the same sun-kissed effect and radiant finish, just with less commitment. This is why I love it! My favourite is the Supermodel Body Bronzer by Charlotte Tilbury – you can practically cheat the dream body without working out, it is honestly that good! This slimming hydrating body shimmer is enriched with FermiProtect (wild shitake extract that protects the collagen fibres in the skin) and is paraben-free, sculpting your contours and making your skin look and feel firmer, toned and more supple. You also don’t have to worry about any streaks or patches as body bronzers are meant to enhance your overall complexion so don’t leave you with obvious streaks or stains. If you’re wondering what the differences are between body bronzers and self-tanners, it mainly lies in their formulas. You don’t have to wait for a body bronzer to develop to get a colour over time, and it can easily be washed off in the shower. Self-tanner is a little bit more of a commitment as it won’t come off straight away.
Bronzed Beauty Highlighter by Chloe Lewis Beauty
Another obsession of mine is highlighter! I recently tried out the Chloe Lewis Bronzed Beauty Liquid Highlighter, and I was so impressed! Designed to give your skin a stunning natural glow, it is so easy to apply and really makes your face look sun kissed and brighter. There are so many highlighters out there that sometimes it can get overwhelming to know what to use, but this one is perfect for when you’re on holiday to enhance your natural tan. I apply this highlighter on my cheekbones, cupids bow (upper lip) and a tiny amount under the arch of my eyebrows. It can transform your makeup from looking average to eye catching – and gives you great contour definition for the perfect selfie!
BOD Instant Glow by Be For Beauty
Unlike the body bronzer, BOD Instant Glow is an instant false tanning lotion, and the only one I really rave about and use! Suitable for all skin tones, BOD Instant Glow can be used on your face and body, and effortlessly delivers an illuminating, radiant finish. I like it because it is quick-drying and transfer-proof, meaning it doesn’t stain your new dress you’ve just bought or stain your white bedsheets (yep, we’ve all been guilty!) This essential formula looks really good on targeted areas such as your collarbones and cheekbones, as it really enhances and accentuates your features. It is also vegan friendly, bonus!
Body Blur is another type of body bronzer like the Charlotte Tilbury product, although I would actually call this more of a ‘body makeup’ type product! This formula gives you the most flawless skin finish and is used to reduce the appearance of things like cellulite and spider veins. The silkiness of the lotion gives you an instant medium bronzed tint and is suited to a range of skin tones from warm ivory through to deeper, olive shades. It is the perfect product to pop all over your body before a night out to give your skin the illusion that is it evenly tanned and sun-kissed!
