It looks like we’ll have to wear a self-tanner this summer 

BeautySkin careJune 25, 2020

Besides the Coronavirus, that has disrupted most people’s summer plans, the weather’s quite tricky lately, so why not try a self-tanner to give you that wonderful I’ve-just-came-back-from-Capri glow? 

I know you’ve probably already had some bad experiences with self-tanning and ended up looking as orange as a certain someone in the White House. Self-tanning products used to streak and leave darker marks around your elbows and knees, not to mention the terrible smell! But there’s a new generation of sunless-tanners that give you a natural colour without irritating the skin or staining your clothes.

And the best part is that you can get your vacation glow and at the same time, avoid all the sun damage on your skin. Because, unless you wear sunscreen with a high SPF, sun rays cause ageing and even skin cancer. Scroll down for the best self-tanner products in 2020.
