The Easiest Way To Look Fabulously Tanned In Winter

With Bonfire Night having passed, the leaves falling and the days getting shorter, autumn is now rapidly approaching its end. It will soon be December, which means Christmas and, of course, winter.

The first of those things is fun, but also a time to look your best. If that includes not looking too pale, winter is not an ideal time as your skin gets so little sun on it.

Consequently, you are left with a couple of choices if you don’t want to end up looking as white as a snowman in January. You could jet off somewhere hot and sunny in the tropics, or have it done artificially, which means a sunbed or getting a spray tan.

There are many reasons for the third of these being the best option. True, a holiday in the sunshine away from the chills of winter sounds a great idea and it can be a great experience, but will spending hundreds of pounds be worth it for a tan that will be gone after a couple of weeks back in the winter darkness?

If you wanted a trip to the Cape Verde Islands, the closest tropical islands to Britain, the average hotel stay per night is $64 (£51), according to Budget Your Trip, which isn’t too bad, and nor are the flights, at as little as £280 one-way. But while it may create happy memories, it won’t deliver a lasting tan.

Sunbeds offer another way of doing it, but we now know that this greatly increases the risk of skin cancer, which is why Cancer Research recommends the spray tan option instead.  

So if you want a tan that lasts, is cost-effective and safe this winter, the best option is obvious. Pop down to see us to get a great look for your skin that will help you look your best for Christmas, New Year and beyond.
