\"suntan\"<\/a>It\u2019s that time of year when, despite what we know, despite our understanding that a tan is not a natural sign of glowing health, but rather a first sign of incipient skin aging, despite the recognition that jetting off to hotter climes for a quick \u2018brown over\u2019 destroys the planet, we want to be golden!<\/span><\/p>\n

There is help at hand for the environmentally-conscious and skin-aware section of society that still can\u2019t quite break free from the belief that a tan is a fashion accessory and a human right. Aviva has launched self tanning products that are both organic and parabens free<\/a> and \u2013 unsurprisingly \u2013 they are called Aviva Organics. You can learn more at Aviva<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A tan at any price?<\/h3>\n

Really worth looking at are\u00a0the Sun-Free Skin Glow Face Cr\u00e8me \u2013 which is unscented and oil free and contains a superb range of organic botanicals, antioxidants and skin-nourishing elements. Of course the most important thing is what kind of colour you get from the product and this does provide a gentle, natural, sun-kissed shade that seems entirely appropriate even against the harshest winter weather.<\/p>\n

Priceless tanning tips<\/h3>\n

To apply a self or sunless tanning product, it\u2019s best to exfoliate first, and to ensure that you\u2019ve put on something that you don\u2019t mind getting a bit stained around the neck (or nothing at all is better). If you\u2019re applying self-tanning product yourself, it\u2019s a good idea to make sure your home is warm enough \u2013 if you get goosebumps, you can have a less than perfect application which means that you get a faintly spotty or mottled effect and any part of your body that is regularly shaved needs to be perfectly hair free. Don\u2019t shave <\/a>or depilate just before applying a self-tanning product though, as that can cause irritation. Give it four hours between hair removal and tan application. And don\u2019t forget that winter make up needs to be adjusted to work with summer coloured skin or you just look \u2026 peculiar!<\/p>\n
