Wave: Get up & glow
The Wave beauty team put the products to the test for a summer glow, head to toe
Vita Liberata Moment By Moment Tinted Self Tan Mousse, £24.50
This product is great if you avoid buying self tanning lotions because you’re weary of the results. Too dark? Not tanned enough? This new mousse lets you choose your shade from a golden glow to a deep bronze. Apply and leave on for between one to three hours before showering. The longer it’s left on, the darker the result. Tan mitts at the ready!
Revlon Photo Ready BB Cream SPF 30, £9.99,
In the summer months stay away from the foundation and try BB cream for SPF protection and non cakey coverage. This combines as a moisturiser and make-up. The texture is lightweight. Once applied, skin tone looked even with a healthy glow all day long.
Color Wow – Pop & Lock Crystallite Shellac, £14,
Out July, this wonder cream for the hair seals the cuticle for mirror-like shine. It’s designed to prevent colur fade, adding intense shine. The light, non greasy formula can be used on wet or dry hair. We used it sparingly on dry hair and the colour looked refreshed and bold.
Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator, £11.99,
This illuminating cream gives the skin a wonderful healthy glow – without highlighting pores or appearing greasy. The subtle pink is lovely for pre-holiday or during. We love it on the face and it can also be applied to the body for a wonderful glow.
Scott Cornwall Shine On OriginalConditioning Hair Glaze, £12.99,
from Boots,
A brand new product for super glossy hair – without having to colour it. This is applied like a hair colour, taking 20 minutes to develop, and can be used on natural or colour treated hair. Promotes maximum shine and lasts up to 24 washes.
Aromatherapy Associates – Roland Mouret Final Finish Body Serum, £47, from Space NK stores.
A wonderful summer treat – this serum is a miracle! It easily absorbs and leaves the skin feeling rehydrated. Light reflecting particles leave skin with a shimmering glow. With hints of Rose and Vanilla it feels like you’ve just stepped out of a spa. The only downside is there doesn’t seem to be enough of it!
Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Scrub, £28.50,
Before applying a self tan, ensure skin is buffed, soft and even with this delicious new scrub from Elemis. Rich in milk proteins, it’s delicately scented. Used twice a week, skin feels super soft and dull skin is noticably brightened by the gentle exfoliation.
