YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE


One of my longest running beauty love affairs is with Clarins Radiance Plus Self Tanning Cream Gel. Technically a facial gradual tanner, it is also a fantastic moisturizer for normal to oily skins.

Its non comedogenic formula means it won't block pores, irritate skin or cause pimples(unlike many facial tanners where you wake up with an unwanted breakout along with your prescribed glow). It creates an even, radiant tan and perks up the most lacklustre of complexions. I have been know to go practically barefaced on lazy days while using this...just add concealer where needed and lashings of mascara for natural Nicole Richie chic.

While it boasts a reasonably hefty price tag, one bottle of this has lasted me over a year of thrice weekly applications- that's what I call value for money and infinitely cheaper than a mid winter trip to Fiji to top up your tan.
