Whether you're jetting off to a beach side holiday this year or exploring new places on a city break, there's no excuse for skipping on your summer tan. As well as self-tanning products being safer for your skin with no risk of UV damage, they also have the advantage of being tan line free and nourishing for the skin, leaving you with an all-over glow.

My large family of mainly women has made me passionate about all things beauty from a young age: from routines passed down from my grandmother, to trying the latest products and trends. After training as an MUA at MAC Cosmetics, my love for makeup has now evolved into making sure my skincare creates the perfect canvas for any look. I love anything that can make my base feel fresh & bright while accentuating my features – Bobbi Brown's Face Base is my holy grail at the moment!
