After months and months of being wrapped up in layer after layer thanks to the Irish winter seeming to be everlasting, we’re finally getting a glimpse of summer. And after being wrapped up in so many layers, it’s only right that we get to give our skin some added TLC before pulling out our summer wardrobe, right?!
We all know that the only safe way to achieve a gorgeous sun kissed glow is to opt for a tan from a bottle, and there’s a little more to that than some of us may think. Here’s some of our top products and top tips to kick off your summer glow up.
