We're naturally more tanned in summer and yet we're way more keen to dive into the fake tan bottle than we are in winter - when the sky is grey, our skin is pale and we're wearing head-to-toe black! A bit of faux glow will go a long way.

Yes, it's slightly shimmery, but your skin can do with a bit of 'glow' in winter and chances are you won't be in heaps of direct sunlight, therefore you won't look like a disco ball. </span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Tip: </b>rub it all over your body directly after showing for maximum hydration.
