    Tan & skin glow
    I just saw there is another self tan thread up My question is slightly different though.
    I've used self tan before and I don't really like it as it sometimes smells weird and it stays on your skin so you don't get tanned in the sun.
    What I'm looking for is a glowy self tan which washes right off. Kind of like skin makeup, just a lotion to give a little colour and glow, which I can put on my chest/arms/legs before going out. Anyone know anything like this?? Regular self tans sucks into your skin so that it stays for days, but I'm looking for something which is just temporary.

    How about Rimmel wash off fake tan? My mum got it from Boots and it only cost like £4. She used it on her legs before going to a party and the colour was really nice and not streaky.

    Thanks
    I'm looking for something that gives a 'healthy glow'. Obviously I don't want to look shiny, greasy or fake. I am blonde with rather fair skin so nothing to exaggerated. Karolina Kurkova has similar complexion to me and occasionally I see her with a great shine. I always wonder how models get that.

    If you get a body highlighter you can achieve the "shiny look" also just get a good quality instant fake tan

    Spend as much time outdoors as possible...wearing a little sun lotion to protect you from harmful UV rays .
