Cheat your way to body confidence
The sun is shining and it’s time to get excited about stripping off those winter layers. But if you’re feeling less than jubilant about swapping cardis for crop tops and skinny jeans for short shorts, we’ve got a few great products that will help you cheat your way to that all-important body confidence
We Heart Living – San Tropez Gradual Tantan&tone
Tan-tastic
A great fake tan will make limbs look leaner and slimmer and disguise any skin imperfections – making bare legs a much more appealing option! But if you don’t want to go full-on bronzed goddess, Gradual Tan plus firming 4-in-1 lotion is a great solution. This amazing formula gradually builds up colour for a natural glow, plus it moisturises for 24 hours and adds firmness.
