D.I.Y Fake Tanning Tips

Hello there fellow fake tanners. Using all kinds of fake tan related goods for years now i feel i have picked up on a couple of the tricks of the trade, to avoid orange palms and peeling disasters. So here they are a few hints, tips and rules to tan, feel free to comment on anything i have left out.

1. Always exfoliate. Before you tan don't forget to exfoliate your skin. This takes off all the dead cells and avoids skin/tan peeling plus makes the tan last longer. You can buy a exfoliating body scrub which will work or a loofah (a rough sponge).

2.Use body lotion with instant tan. Instant tan normally dries too fast and becomes blotchy. If you mix inn body lotion with the tan it doesn't dry as fast and allows for a smooth and easy application. The lotion causes the tan to become lighter so buy a darker one than normal.

3. Fake tan glove. A glove is essential so buy one! It helps avoid getting orange palms and gives a smoother blotch free application. Just remember to wash yours when done.

4. Undoing mistakes. The easiest way to get rid of blotchy tan and orange palms is bicarbonate soda. Wet the area you want fixed and rub in the soda, this will undo the tan. There is bicarbonate soda in whiting toothpaste so if desperate it will do as a replacement. Squeezed lemon juice and salt mixed together will do as well, you just have to scrub your skin with it.


Hope these tips help, all comments welcome

Runny nose, sore throat, yep its Winter again and the common cold is begining to strike once more. Here are some tips on how to recognise, treat and avoid a cold this Winter.

Usual symptoms for a cold include:

Sleep is a number one cure. To try over come a cold, get loads of sleep, drink fluids (water,soup..etc) and avoid sugar, caffeine and alcohol they feed colds plus cause dehydration. Chicken soup is said to help congestion so get some! Also go to you'r local chemist/pharmacist and get paracetamol or any cold medicine.

Avoiding colds is tricky. First of all despite what you'r mom told you, some say colds are actually not caused by cold weather. Although colds most often accure during harsh weather eg. Winter, its actually the fact were inside more that is said to cause colds. We stay inside with other people and germs easily spread. Especially during work, school or college were a number of people are in one room. To avoid a cold, keep your distance from other people with colds and don't touch your nose or mouth, this is how germs from your hands spread. Its difficult to dodge a cold, eat your fruit and veg, get sleep and hope that this Winter it won't be you.
