Caudalie Divine Legs: Wash-Off Tan

The sun is out, the sandals have been unpacked and the legs have been shaved. Can we finally embrace the summer months and celebrate with a little fake tan? I hate looking pasty in a long, flowing maxi dress; I look much healthier and feel much happier when I have a little colour to help me out of the black opaques. However, if the weather catches you off-guard and you've not quite had time to book in that spray tan, Caudalie's newest launch could provide a last minute safety net. Divine Legs tinted body lotion provides the perfect hint of colour for limbs and body, creating a sun-kissed and natural glow in only a few minutes. Containing 92.8% naturally derived ingredients, the lotion is light and easy to work into the skin, as well as being a one-shade-suits-all colour. You need only a couple of pumps into the hands to cover a limb, working it all over in the same way you'd apply a fake tan - it's not just for legs! Although it's difficult to layer (if you try to apply another coat it will start to cake and come away from the skin,) it does provide a really great instant glow. You can remove it using only water too, meaning you don't need to faff around with gloves or vaseline - if you make a mistake or haven't quite blended well enough, just dab with a little water and re-apply. Because the formula isn't as heavy as your normal fake tan, you don't need to apply with such precision, making it perfect to use when you've just realised you want to wear a midi dress and have shockingly pale ankles. Yes, there are a lot of cheaper alternatives (namely Rimmel's infamous Sun Shimmer,) but what you get with cheaper products is a streaky, smelly, orange result. With Caudalie's Divine Legs you get a natural glow, no streaks, no scent and a long-lasting colour that's totally sweat proof. Perfect for wacking between your boobs when you've decided to don that very low-cut top because the sun's come out to play.
