Well, wasnt that a shock last weekend to have glorious sunshine and 20 degrees! “Yay!”,we all cried, summer has arrived. After that long dreadful winter the thought of unveiling my pale skin into the world was daunting. Ok, we’re all in the same boat unless you’ve been on a winter holiday. I rushed out to stock up on SPF’s for myself and my family as we all have different skin types. My husband is very dark and he show’s himself to the sun and he’s tanned. So he uses a factor 15. My children and myself use factor 30. We will still develop a light tan but steadily and healthily. The sun is only our enemy if we abuse it. Sitting around with no protection is very silly.
Anyway, back to my lily white skin. What should a girl do? I exfoliated using Creme Exfoliant as I do twice a week and grabbed my old faithful friend, Decleor’s Gradual Glow. It’s the mother of all body moisturisers, containing self tan which builds up over time. If you’ve used Systeme Corps body moisturiser this is exactly what it smells like because that is what it is, System Corps with Tan. It leaves your skin feeling luxuriously soft. Use in the morning after your shower, or if you prefer at night. A word of warning, it does not contain any SPF so be sure to apply SPF before leaving the house.
As the weather is now back to dull and grey I wonder if we got carried away with ourselves prepping last week. It will not be in vain, I’m hoping, as I’m sure you all are, that when the sunshine returns it will bring us a glorious summer and I’ll be tanned and ready to enjoy it!
