Self Tanner
Would You Ever Paint on Fake Abs?
I've been known to use self-tanner to give myself a little extra definition now and again, but the number of instructional YouTube videos about using bronzer to give yourself a six pack is pretty astonishing. I can understand this if you were, say, going as P!nk for Halloween. But more people seem inclined to paint them on when headed to the beach or pool, and that makes me a little confused.
Test Your Pregnancy Sun Exposure Knowledge
That pregnancy glow may be under your control. Expectant mamas know that their skin can undergo changes in the nine months, but how does the sun affect it? Take this quiz to test your knowledge about how the sun's rays can help and hurt a mother-to-be.
BellaSugarUK's Top Picks: Best Self Tanning Body Lotions
I'm pretty picky when it comes to self tanners. I like to make it look as though I'm glowing from within and have a light bronzey tone my skin tone as opposed to pasty, white and lifeless. This means that if a tanning product even remotely streaks or makes me look yellow or orange, it gets binned immediately.
Do You Spray Tan All Year Round?
I'm a big fan on the spray tan, no matter the season. It's safer on your skin than the sun and it's a great way to look instantly savage before going on holiday. Apparently Victoria Beckham is also a fan of the year-round fake bake.
Did You Use Self-Tanner While Pregnant?
Vain mamas-to-be maintain their appearances during their nine months by keeping up their hair color, exercise routines, manicures and pedicures. When it comes to their complexions, some expectant ladies shield themselves from the sun as the skin becomes more sensitive and prone to burn. Self-tanning cream can accelerate the motherly glow for those women.
Product Review: Clarins Intense Bronze Self Tanning Tint
Before I left for my tropical holiday, I wanted to pick up a good self tanner to help wipe away some of the obvious pasty UK colour of my skin. My goal was to find something that wouldn't blotch, streak, make me look orange, or smell funky. Since I absolutely adore my Clarins Radiance-Plus Self Tanning Cream-Gel I thought I'd make it easy on myself and pick up some more (admittedly, my free sample ran out).
How-To: Remove Self-Tanner Streaks
Over the weekend, I had an unfortunate encounter with a spray-on tanner. Even though I followed the many steps very carefully, I ended looking up less sex kitten, more striped kitty. I've been up to my blotchy knees in research for tips on how to make the patchwork look a little less obvious.
Reader Review of the Day: St. Tropez Self Tan Remover Sachets
The benefits of self tanners are plentiful. Still, nobody likes to have orange or brown splotches left on the hands after applying them. Frequent reviewer Stef42678 really likes St.
Do You Spray Tan?
With Spring here and the weather getting slightly warmer, it's only natural to shed your layers and bear more skin. However, I wouldn't say that it's been hot enough to sun bathe and turn the pasty pale UK "glow" that we all have into anything savage.
This means that you can either go out au natural, or get a little help from self tanning gels, creams, at-home mists (such as Lindsay Lohan's newest Sevin Nyne product) or, visit your nearest spray tan booth.

- If you're stuck with pasty Winter skin, give yourself a vacation-looking glow instead. Exfoliate away the cold-weather dryness, lightly moisturize, and, if you'd like, invest in a good self-tanner.
- Winter can do a number on your hair so treat yourself to a thick, rejuvenating conditioner, or head to the salon for a reconstructive treatment.
