BEAUTY Faking It 9833 views

With the British summer proving to be a bit of a washout this year, brides wanting a hint of colour for their wedding are better off faking it…

Achieving a natural-looking tan without the harmful rays is easy with the new organic Self-Tan lotion from Green People. Formulated with organic aloe vera and rosehip oil, the non-greasy lotion soothes and nourishes your skin – and its organic, fairly-traded ingredients are better for the environment too.

And unlike the usual ‘biscuity’ smell left by most self-tan products, the Green People lotion has a delicate scent of rose geranium, sandalwood and vetivert essential oils, so it’s perfect to use the night before your big day.

Before applying the lotion, we recommend exfoliating your skin first with the Green People Sensous Sugar Scrub – a blend of raw cane sugar crystals, fair-trade shea butter and pomegranate – which removes dead cells, leaving it smooth and tingling with radiance.

Then slap on the self-tan and two to three hours later, your skin will emanate a healthy glow and subtle fragrance ready for your big aisle moment.

Self-tan lotion costs £15.99 for 200ml and Sugar Scrub costs £17.50 for 245ml – both are available from good health stores and selected Waitrose and John Lewis or you can order online.
