I'm off to Cyprus in May, I haven't been on a beach holiday for 4 years so I'm very excited and enjoying planning and making lists! I'm going to have loads of questions for you lot in S&B over the next few weeks 
Anyway I would like details of your pre-holiday preparation for your skin, how you tan over there and maintain it when you're back home.
I'm blonde, a few freckles, blue/green eyes, warm skin tone, don't tan very easily but I do tan eventually. I do understand that the sun is not good for ageing so I wear LRP factor 50 on my face daily, however, I do want to come home with a bit of colour and I will be careful not to burn.
What do you think of these pre-tan supplements? Or the pre-tan creams?
Does anyone have a spray tan before they go away? They don't contain any sun protection so this is an option so I'm not ghostly white during the first few days.
What products are good to use with spf whilst out in the sun? I need at least spf 30. Are there some that are a bit shimmery and look nicer/hide cellulite?
How about aftersun products? I read about a St Tropez one that contains a little self tan which sounds good. Could the tan drops be added to aftersun?
Also, does anyone put anything on lips/hair to protect them?
All I'm doing so far is dry brushing for cellulite and exfoliation, and moisturising like mad, and pumice stone on my feet so they stay nice and soft. How does everyone else prepare their skin?
I can't wait to research some products!
