FIRMING FAVOURITE Elemis Body Sculpting Firming System
What they say: Formulated to reduce the appearance of cellulite in 28 days.
Clinical studies show that the body’s contours can appear slimmed, with the appearance of orange peel skin reduced and looking smoother in just four weeks.
What we say: This two part system - serum and cream - was simple to use thanks to an easily explained massage technique. After a month we noticed a significant reduction in dimply skin and our bod felt more taut.

We slather, smear, rub, sniff and spray before drawing up a shortlist of the best and recommending them to you. This time we look at products which will leave you toned and tanned and ready for the big reveal.
BRONZED BEAUTY Guerlain Terracotta Eau Sous Le Vent
What they say: A delicious mist that moisturises the skin, enhances the tan and delights the senses.
Enriched with vegetable protein, a plentiful source of hydroregulation, this impregnates the skin and helps it to protect itself from dryness and environmental irritants.
What we say: Spritz this on for a light, beachy scent. It has a non-greasy texture and the tan booster complex helped enhance colour and left our skin refreshed and glowing with health.

FULL STRETCH Decleor Aroma Sculpt
What they say: This wonderfully rich
cream helps to combat the main causes and consequences of sagging and ageing skin. Skin feels firm, re-sculpted and toned, your silhouette appears visibly younger. Smoothed, bright and silky, your skin is wonderfully radiant.
What we say: The cream is quickly and easily absorbed. Skin definitely felt more firm and supple after several weeks.
The subtle afterglow is also an added bonus.

GLOW IT ALONE
Clarins Delicious Self Tanning Cream What they say: An exquisite melting
texture, Cocoa extracts with skin care benefits. An incredibly, beautiful natural- looking tan. The perfect self-tanner for the face and body.
What we say: Wow - the best fake tan we have ever used. It has the look and texture of caramel pudding but the
cream blends easily into the skin. It gave a fantastic all-over colour, not too dark and very realistic. Because it spreads easily, there were zero streak marks.

What they say: The secret to perfectly streamlined body contours. Leaves an instant feeling of lightness and well- being on application. This patented formula with 8 plant extracts helps to streamline hips and thighs and reduces the appearance of cellulite.
What we say: By massaging this refreshing gel into problem areas we found skin became firmer and tighter-looking. It left skin feeling fresh and tingly and all that rubbing and moisturising resulted in a healthy glow.

SUPER SMOOTHIE
Decleor Aroma Confort Post-wax Double Action Gel
What they say: Specially formulated to naturally slow down hair regrowth and ensure clear, blemish-free skin for longer. The skin is immediately soothed thanks to the softening action of Aloe Vera Gel.
What we say: We used this gel on holiday to prevent re-growth and it worked a treat. It left us feeling super- confident round the pool.
Following our waxing it left skin feeling cooled and helped keep us fuzz-free longer.
