Skin – The Sunday Chapter, Angela Giakas

Summer beauty looks can be difficult to nail, but take inspo from your fave bloggers and repeat after us: Skin is in. The Summer look is all about an effortless glow, so it’s essential that your skincare routine is on-point.

Body – Depths of Beauty, Emmily Banks

We all know how dangerous and damaging the sun’s rays are for our skin, especially in Australia. But that doesn’t stop most of us craving a deep golden tan for Summer. Luckily self-tanning has come a long way in the last few years, and the formulas that we’re working with today are carrot-orange and streak-free! Emmily Banks from Depths of Beauty has three essential tips for the perfect application, the key to a flawless tan. “Number one: Exfoliate. The most important tanning preparation is exfoliating! Two: Remove the fuzz. Do all hair removal at least 24 hours before you tan. Three: Ditch other products. Avoid putting any perfume, oils, moisturisers or deodorants on the day of tan application. These products and oils can interfere with tan absorption and adherence and can lead to a patchy result- not what we’re after!” There you have it – the secrets to the ultimate Summer tan are in your hands. Use them wisely!
