Fake Tan Newbie - Help!

So - I naturally get a very good tan. But, my mum died of skin cancer so I’m now factor 50 mad. However - I miss my tan and want a bronzed summer.

hit me up with the tips before I head off for a fortnight. Do I go spray tan, fake tan, a mix? When, what brands … I have never done this before but really want my summer deep tan again (but safely)!

Bondi Sands is a great choice, their mousse is so easy to apply (I use a velvet mitt) as it has the guide colour and always fades evenly. Definitely make sure to exfoliate 24hrs before and moisturise dry areas like hands knees elbows before applying, and you should be good to go!

Take fake tan with you. Swimming pools seem to strip the colour.
