Living in the UK means that when the sun comes out for more than about 5 minutes. We grab our shorts, chuck on a pair of sunglasses and head for the nearest patch of ground that we can enjoy the warming rays that have not been seen for months. However…………if you are anything like us, winter has left us with unwanted body hair, allowed to grow uncontrollably during these colder months, we are in serious need of a full body exfoliation and some serious self tan to make us look less ill! For most of us winter is a happy place, covering up all those bumps and lumps under a baggy jumper, no need to be afraid – we have you covered!
Ready, Set, Exfoliate…
After months and months of being in winter clothes, a heatwave pops out of nowhere. The first step to any kind of body prep is good exfoliation. Exfoliation is the first thing to combat as this will remove dead skin cells, ingrown hairs and instantly make your skin look and feel smoother. Hands up for a glowing, smooth and healthy looking body!

Brilliant product! I used this product in connection with the Guam Cellulite Cool Mud on alternate days for about 5 days and then every two / three days until I finished the products and the change is remarkable. Drink a lot of water and do some exercise after removing the Mud and you’ll truly see the difference. Will purchase more.

I use it twice a week. I really love this self-tanner, and I have tried a LOT of them!!! This one creates a natural glow, and it has the least “self-tanner smell” I have experienced. To me, that is saying a lot as it is the smell of my skin interacting with the self tanner that makes me want to toss self-tanners out. I have been using this one for two years, which is saying a lot!
