With the usual indulgences of the winter period, a few of us are feeling a little less healthy and not our most body confident. Read on for some tanning ideas to highlight your best features and give you that appealing glow for spring.

Hide shadows and blemishes with a spray tan

With the colder months upon us, red noses to rival Rudolph are everywhere. Combined with a pasty forehead and ruddy winter cheeks, it doesn’t show our skin at its best. A healthy tan leaves us looking rested and evens out the blemishes, turning the red patches into a subtle and effective blusher. Voila, skin looks younger, smoother, and more refreshed.

Give your limbs a golden glow

Save the need for weight-lifting and give your arms a spray tan instead. A tanned limb instantly looks more toned and muscular. It also allows for more wardrobe flexibility, as there’s no need to stick to those bold, bright colours to neutralise your skin tone. With caramel tones, you can embrace the cool neutrals of a winter wardrobe palette and not look washed out. For the warmer months ahead, give your legs a spritz too, and celebrate them in shorts and midi dresses.

Contour your tan

A contoured tan can create the illusion of muscle strength and definition. Next time you book in for your spray tan, why not ask your tanning expert for help with this? Alternatively, you could give it a try yourself. A darker hue for areas such as the abdomen, thighs and even the face can make all the difference and present a toned, healthy physique. When we return to regular holiday travel, make the most of bikini season and show off your best attributes.

Boost your body confidence

If there’s one thing that regular tanners agree on, it’s that a glowing colour adds an instant improvement. It’s that first look in the mirror after a spray tan that gives us the initial thrill, reminding us why we keep coming back and giving us the confidence boost to continue with our day, looking just as well as we feel.
