Temperatures will be soaring and soon too will your skin glowing goodness. Now let’s whip it in to shape for the summer season.
Whether you’re fast approaching summertime or counting down the days until your Summer vacay, it’s important to start preparing your skin for that golden tan. So in the meantime, follow these steps to ensure your tan is in tip-top-shape this summer.
Prep
Good skin starts from the inside out. Just like our products, natural is best. So it’s important to fill up on natural skin-loving goodness and keep the nasties out. Obviously, we love a good Netflix and chill with all the treats as much as the next babe, but making this simple smoothie-swap for that choc block will have you glowing more than the starlet of your fave rom-com.

- 1/4 avocado

- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut water
Optional to add in healthy supplements like collagen, flax, chia seeds.
Primp
We’re shedding our winter coats and the same should be done for our skin. Making your own DIY scrub will be your skins new best friend when it comes to getting rid of the winter cells.
Using the Natural Tanning & Body Oil mixed with a tablespoon of rock salt & tablespoon of bicarb soda. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir. Lather on the skin, working in circular motions. Working towards the heart will also reduce water retention and help with cellulite, winning!
Prime
While we’re getting our shuteye our skin is working overtime at night to repair and restore the day's damages. Lathering your body in Luxe Moisturising Lotion before bed encourages healthy skin renewal and allows for deeper penetration of the product. Not only will you be smoother than Ryan Gosling at a bar, you’ll be guaranteed to have a more even, longer lasting tan.
Glow Time
While we wait for the sun to show it’s face or for the vacay days to get closer, you can fill the tan void by applying an instant bronzer, like our Bronzing Lotion. Quick drying, it’ll get you through those paler days and nights out. Why not also layer it over your natural tan to get a deeper bronze look as the weather gets warmer and your tan amps up.
Following these skin routines, each day will have you glowing in time for those summer rays. If you’re off on a summer vacay, make sure you read our blog on how to keep your glow in flight.
