Q: What’s the

best way to
remove fake tan A: Before applying a fresh coat

before applying of fake tan, you need to ensure
that all remnants of previous tan
a fresh tan? applications are well and truly
removed. Over a period of a few
days, begin by using a body scrub or
exfoliator that contains grainy particles and pair it with an exfoliating glow
and gently scrub the affected areas in a circular motion - just don’t rub too
rigorously or you can cause redness and irritation in this skin, and in turn,
make fresh tan application uncomfortable. Alternatively, you can also use
body products containing AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), which can provide
a gentle exfoliating action and help to break down the tan on your skin.
Ensure that each night you are removing the tan that you use a nourishing
body moisturiser to keep your skin soft and supple, and perfectly primed for
the new tan to follow.

Q: How do I

prevent my
lipstick from A: This is called ‘feathering,’ which

wearing off is where your lipstick smudges onto
the skin surrounding your lips. The
during a secret to a long-lasting lipstick look

competition is to ensure you have done the prep
work on your lips before adding any
and sinking into colour. Before applying any of your
other makeup, use a wet washcloth
the skin around and gently rub it over your lips to
my lips? gently slough away any flaky skin.
Follow with a layer of lightweight lip
balm and leave it to settle in while
you apply the rest of your makeup. Use a tissue to blot off any excess balm
and ensure that your lips are hydrated. Use a lip pencil in the same shade as
your preferred colour of lipstick and gently trace around along the outline
of your lip line, which will help to prevent your lipstick from feathering.
Follow with a long-wearing matte lipstick - matte lipstick formulas tend to
last much longer than their cream or satin counterparts, and provide more
pigment payoff, too.
