What to do before your spray tan

      A do and don't for those that are having their first spray tan.

1.  Do exfoliate 24 hours before in the bath or shower to exfoliate you can use a bath loofah, scrub or wash  mitt or flannel,

2. shave no later than 24 hours before, 2 days would be a safe bet.  If you have your hair waxed then this should be done at least 4- 5 days before to allow any after wax spots to go down.

3.  Don't wear deodorant as this can turn the tan green on that area.

4. Don't wear any other products on your skin before your tan

5. When you know you're having a spray tan give the sun bed a miss that week

6.  Don't wear any make up to the appointment

7.  Wear your hair back

8.  Moisturise well 24 hours before the tan

9. Don't use any oils on the day of the tan as this can prevent the tan from adhering. 

10.  Discuss the look that you want with the beauty therapist and listen to her advice as nobody wants to end up looking like a carrot.  Consider gradually going darker.  If you already have a tan then remember that a tanning specialist can get rid of your bikini lines and help you keep your tan longer

This shape resembles the spoon shape

You are smaller on your top half to your bottom half

You carry weight on your hips, thighs and bottom.

£24.50 Balero black silky Gothic jacket from The Gothic catwalk

Wear bright coloured tops, jewellery or accessories such as scarves to

draw the attention upward to your face

If you want to enhance your bust you can go for bras with padding there are plenty on the market now

You can also try gel bras these can make you one to two cup sizes bigger and will work well with evening dresses and tight fitting tops.  Ultimo make a range of gel bras that are sexy and practical.  You could also invest in a pair of silicone enhancers better known as chicken fillets.  I have tried these and I can say that they are fantastic.  If you want to go up a size or two in your bust cup by the full enhancers, if you only want to give yourself some cleavage then get the half cups and put them at the sides of your natural breast to give you that peachy bum cleavage effect.
