LUSHcious tanning
Lovely LUSH have recently dived head first into the ever growing market of fake tan and we must say we are very pleased that there are finally some delicious smelling tanners on the market.
First up is their Charlotte Island Tanning Lotion (£9.99 per 240g), a subtle bronzing body tint which gives a sun kissed glow minus the harm caused by excessive sunlight. The lotion is made with an organic lemon infusion, organic oils and cocoa butter, all of which brighten and hydrate the skin without the smell of stale biscuits and roast chicken crisps.
A little really does go a long way with this product and though the colour seems a little daunting in the bottle it leaves a beautiful, even streak free colour and a wonderful almost chocolate like aroma, finally a fake tan which is a pleasure and not a chore to apply!
Next up are their body glow massage bars. If you need a glow but your on the go then the new solid body tints could be the perfect option for you. Available for lighter and darker skin tones Silk Stockings (£7.50 per 30g) and Black Stockings (£7.50 per 30g) are solid bars which are to be massaged into the skin to leave a subtle looking colour and can be washed off easily making dirty sheets a thing of the past.
Silk Stockings (for paler skin) is formulated with shea butter for its moisturising properties and jasmine for a sultry fragrance and application is virtually faff free in comparison to cream wash-on-wash-off tanners, which end up virtually everywhere but where you want it!
Black Stockings is intended as a body tint for tanned or black skin. The combination of darker colours makes for a realistic tan and evens out the skin tones. It is formulated with Pimento berry oil which is known to treat muscular aches and pains and cinnamon leaf oil which has a rich and spicy aroma leaving the skin tingling. Again the solid formula means that application is relatively mess free, it takes a little working to massage into the legs but in our opinion this much better than having tan dripping all over our nice cream carpets!
