Summer skin!

Hello lovelies!

Until now, I've never really been a summer kind of girl. I love to just stay inside by a fire curled up with a book, and that's really more suited for winter. However this year I've decided to embrace the hotter weather (as much as possible, I do live in England after all) and venture outside a lot more.
Being someone that burns in the slightest hint of sun, I've never really had much of a tan, and from the time that I do spend out in the sun, I tend to only freckle. With that in mind, this year I've bought some summer skin products that will hopefully encourage me out into the natural sunlight a little more!


I've tended to stick to the same razors and shaving gel but one of my friends convinced me to try the newest (golden...). So far I'm liking the both of them, though I did get a bit of a shock when the shaving gel came out blue. I tend to repurchase the Gilette gels because they're amazing on my sensitive skin and doesn't bring me out in a massive red blotch, which isn't so perfect for that goddess summer look.
But mainly I wanted to talk about the Garnier summer body moisturiser- it has to be one of my favourite summer skincare buys! Like I said, I've always been pale, and I've struggled before to find a natural looking tanning product.
I've only ever touched on gradual tanners, because goodness knows I don't want to change skin tone overnight, but even some of those that I've tried haven't been gradual enough and left me looking suspiciously streaky. The Garnier summer body moisturising lotion promises for a 'light sun-kissed  look', and so far I haven't been disappointed. I use it once or twice a week, and I've only had a problem with streaks once when I rushed putting it on.
I also really love the smell of this, as it is 'with extract of apricot', which doesn't completely get rid of that fake tan smell, but it makes it much more bearable and less noticeable. This is most definitely the best gradual tan that I've ever used, and I think I'll probably repurchase it if I use it that much!

Have you tried this product? If not what's your staple buy for your summer tan?
