LAZY-PROOF TAN with ByTerry

Its fake-tan season, guys. How do we feel about that? Exhausted at the prospect of exfoliating and then getting the stuff all over the sheets so out bedrooms lookalike gritty crime scenes?

I'm always cynical about fake tan on post-winter skin (it just takes better on a complexion that has a bit of a natural tan), but we are not meant to have a natural tan, are we? We must resist. We must prevail.

The everyday rush and struggle precludes laborious prep. I look in the mirror, feel despairing and need a solution. Perhaps more organised people put aside an evening for fake-tanning. I try but not always. Especially I feel like my face tan fades quicker as my skincare routine is a serious business.

REVIEW

Slapped on ––haphazardly, it must be said –over moisturiser & ta-dah! I went from stressed-out, wan loon to tawny, honeyed health bomb. On the outside, anyway..

Brilliant natural colour, not so suitable as to be pointless and almost suspiciously easy. As an added boon, it seems to blur. Pores, pimples and general sign spots of fatigue are blended into the background .

Then, for heritage glamour, I always use Guerlain's Terracotta bronzer or Chanel Healthy Glow Soleil Tan bronzing cream. But, at present, I'm obsessed layer those with ByTerry CC Cellularose serum in Sunny Flash. A warm sun kissed highlighter shade radiates without too much flash and a warm bronzer sculpts cheeks and jaw.

And suddenly here I am. Ready for anything. Except running.
