Let’s face it, I
think we’d all prefer to be sunning ourselves somewhere tropical, cocktail in
one hand, book in the other, but with so many of us strapped for cash, busy
with work or with non-negotiable family plans, it’s hard to find the time for that
getaway. You may not get that
week away in the tropics, but you can sure enough trick people into thinking
you’ve been away, I've put together 5 simple
and easy hacks to fake that holiday glow.
Fake bake it
Probably the easiest way to fake that
holiday glow is by investing in a decent face and body tan, ideally a gradual
tanner as this will give you a more natural glow without the orange tinge or
tiger streaks. It’s also recommended to purchase a separate face tanner, as
these are tailor made for the delicate skin on your face so wont clog your
pores or make you look cakey, perhaps opt for one with a little shimmer in for
that added glow.
Drink up
It’s no secret that drinking 8 glasses of
water a day is the simplest and cheapest way to keep your skin hydrated and looking fresh,
however managing to drink this much can prove difficult when you lead such a
busy life. Try keeping a reusable water bottle by your desk so you remember to
top up each day and you will have a glowing complexion in no time.
Facial Sprays
Hydrating facial sprays are perfect for
busy woman who need to top up their skin hydration levels on the go. A quick
spritz all over the face and neck instantly gives you a glowing complexion,
eliminates that tight feeling and allows your skin to breathe.
Bronze goddess
It’s time to invest in a really good cream
bronzer, using a cream texture rather than a powder will make your skin look so
much more natural and won’t leave you looking cakey. Contour it over the darker
areas of your face to give your complexion a deeper glow as well as shaping
your facial contours.
Add a dash of Lemon
It’s a bit of an old school trick, but if
you’re a natural blonde, squeezing lemon juice all over your hair will
naturally bleach it blonde, so If you can’t afford highlights, this is the
perfect way to give your hair a blonde boost and allow it to look as if it’s
caught the sun.
