Now that spring is officially here, it’s time to break out the dresses and skirts again, and perhaps consider ditching the black opaques for now. If you are immediately thrown into a panic at the thought of bare legs, take a deep breathe and repeat after me: faux bronzing. It’s the easiest way to circumnavigate wearing trousers all spring long because you’d rather not put your pins on show… Here are three of the best products for different levels of bronze.
Ambre Solaire Self-Tanning Natural Tan
This is one of the best and most wallet friendly ‘fake’ tanners on the market. The light shade adds just the right touch of bronze without looking too false. An ultra-fine mist once sprayed, the formula also dries instantly, so there’s no need to rub the product in with your hands.
PRTTY PEAUSHUN (pronounced Pretty Potion)
Joy of joys, spider veins simply love to grace legs and when said legs are bare and feeling a little pale post-Winter, this is when the imperfections are all the more visible. Enter PRTTY PEASHUN. It’s a coloured skin tightening body lotion, designed to improve the condition of the skin whilst concealing minor imperfections and enhancing definition. New to Aus, I’m predicting this product to really take off this season. Available in a range of shades, rest assured there is one to suit your legs to perfection.
Goe Oil
If you’re not so concerned with adding faux colour to your legs, but could do with some intense hydration that’ll showcase your natural skin-tone, look to the nourishing Goe Oil. It cures all cases of really dry legs, with 100% natural products. A combination of 28 plant fruit and flower oils and butters, and lightly scented with Monoi from Tahiti, you can even use this multipurpose product all over the body, on dry areas of the face, to the ends of the hair and even mixed with liquid and cream makeup products to lighten or add extra moisture. The smallest touch of this oil brings out the natural bronze tones in your skin in a flash – perfect for when you’re running out the door in a rush but need to bring those pins to life!
