When it comes to fake tanning tips who is better equipped to hand them out than Vogue Williams? She has founded an entire tanning range for goodness sake. Bare By Vogue Williams had the masses hooked from day dot. The luxurious formulas offered up a deep, natural-look tan that kept skin nourished right from the get go and word soon spread that Vogue Williams had kick started a fake tanning legacy.
The world of beauty offers up so many ways to boost our confidence (statement lip anyone?) or refresh our mindset (a bath, a face massage, take your pick!) but for many of us there's nothing quite like a fake tanning session when it comes to getting a mood boost. Vogue Williams agrees: 'A good fake tan just makes me feel better about myself. It gives a healthy-looking glow, so I do it at least once a week.'

The Winter Glow
As the evenings get darker, the weather gets colder and our layers of clothes increase it's easy to forget we exist from the neck down sometimes, especially in the middle of Lockdown 2.0 when our work colleagues, family and friends alike only see us on a phone or laptop screen. Skimping on self-care moments though does nothing for our mood or mindset, so it's time to re-embrace some much loved beauty routines. Take faking a winter glow for example. Sure, there's no need to chase that deep, rich, three weeks in the Maldives type summer tan, but a beautiful winter glow might be all it takes to brighten up your week this month. Worth a try right? Sold? Perfect. Now for the tricks of the trade. Who are we turning to for the 'how to'? Fake tanning maestro Vogue Williams of course:

Vogue notes that in summer she uses her trusty Bare By Vogue Williams Ultra Dark Self Tan Foam, £17.10, but that winter calls for a lighter shade. Vogue duly switches to Bare By Vogue Williams Dark Self Tan Foam, £17.10. Still keen for a deeper shade? If we're allowed to head out post lockdown and you're keen to up the ante temporarily, reach for Vogue's favourite Bare By Vogue Instant Tan in Ultra Dark, £13.50. Always suffering from dry skin, especially in winter? Vogue recommends reaching for one of the Bare By Vogue Self Tan Lotions instead of a foam as these really pack a nourishing punch. When it comes to the trickiest area of all, hands of course, Vogue has a genius trick that ensures you'll get a perfectly even application every time. Watch the video to find out exactly what that is.
