There's nothing like a bit of tan to make you feel more confident, especially when it comes to attending a wedding. The perfect tan is an even, sunkissed colour, however it can be difficult to achieve. Here are Legology's top tips to the ultimate tan: Exfoliate before going out into the sun- by using Legology Exfo-Lite Stimulating Salts For Legs which contains both Himalayan salt crystals and sea salt, you will remove any dead skin that can block UV light.

Beauty News: Skincare products so fresh they should be used within 10 weeks of opening

Skincare products so fresh they should be used within 10 weeks of opening

Founded in 1996, Ringana is a pioneering Austrian skincare company creating products so fresh it's recommended they're used within 10 weeks of opening. As well as using fantastic vegan formulations, the products also feature some of 2023's most sought after active ingredients. I love the Tinted Moisturiser from the brand's FRESH range, containing squalane. This olive-oil based ingredient is becoming increasingly popular because it helps to reconstitute our hydrolipidic film and is easily absorbed without leaving an oily residue behind. It works to strengthen the skin's barrier and maintain hydration too. As a result, this gorgeous moisturiser creates a radiant, perfectly even complexion. Plus, it covers the skin in a delicate tint, thanks to mineral pigments that adapt beautifully to the skin tone to erase small defects, redness and pigmentation spots.
