Party Trick of the Year: Sally Hansen AirBrush Legs

Betty is a girly girl. She loves to dress up and feel like a million dollars. Nude colored stockings on the other hand, is not Betty's thing and if you are anything like Betty, you'll know that after months of cold and grey weather, your skin is in desperate need of some TLC before they are ready to brave to be bare. That is where this awesome party trick comes in. 

Sally Hansen's Airbrush Legs is a spray can of instant fake tan magic that works almost like a foundation for your legs. It evens out your skin tone and covers tiny blood vessels, bumps etc. Easy to spray on and waterproof, this product is perfect for when you're in need of a quick fix. Your legs will look amazing and silky without looking too shiny and without the discomfort of wearing stockings. 

The product dries fast, which means you can spray your legs ready (and other body parts if you like) right before you get dressed. The product can stain your clothes, so avoid wearing your favorite white ensembles. Should you be so unlucky, wash your clothes in the washing machine and the stains should come off. 

Betty prefers to spray the product directly on her body and not in her hands first as the instructions suggest. She then uses her fingers to gently rub away any streaks that may occur. Make sure to spray at the recommended distance as this will also help avoid streaks. When your fun night is over hit the showers and wash the product off using gentle soap and hot water. It's as simple (and perfect!) as that.

The 4 Beauty Products Betty and Her Fake Tan Can't Live Without

A fake tan will never turn out perfect without the products you use before and after you apply your tan. Dry spots, orange elbows, streaks and patchy hands - Betty has learnt the hard way. Betty aims to give you her best tips and tricks to achieve that gorgeous fake tan that we all want and as a fake tan is not just about the fake tan you use, here are Betty's favorite product to use before and after your tan to achieve that gorgeous golden glow. 

1. Betty likes to get off to a good start and that means treating herself to a MUD bath the night before she is planning to fake tan. MUD is an amazing detox bath and body mask product with all natural ingredients that will improve your skin, detox your body and relax your mind. Perfect the night before a fake tan, or any other time you want to pamper yourself for that matter. Betty has never slept as good as after a MUD bath, so if you are feeling a bit tired and in need of a perfect night's sleep, MUD is just what you need. 

2.  Scrubbing away dead skin cells to assure your fake tan is streak free and natural is a crucial part for anyone in the fake tan game. Avoid oil based exfoliators as they will make a streak free application almost impossible. Betty likes to keep it simple and prefers to just use a hemp mitt or body brush to dry brush her skin before jumping in the shower. This will remove dead skin cells and help stimulate blood circulation in your body. Betty loves The Body Shop's hemp mitt and the cactus brush. Both are gentle enough to use every day and will leave your skin soft and bright. 

3. Vaseline - what can Betty say? There is nothing luxurious or beautiful about this product, but oh boy how good is it for avoiding nasty fake tan build ups on the drier spots on your body. Simply apply a small amount to your ankles, knees, elbows, wrists and hands to avoid excess tan that will make them orange. Lifesaver! 

4. After you have applied your fake tan (and it looks perfect of course!) you want to maintain looking beautiful and natural for as long as possible. A good, fragrance free moisturizer is the key here. Alcohol and oils tend to make fake tan patchy, so be sure to avoid a moisturizer containing these two things. Using a moisturizer that contains gradual fake tan will also make your fake tan last longer. Betty loves Bondi Sand's Gradual Tanning Milk with SPF15. It is enriched with antioxidants, aloe vera and vitamin E and will leave your skin feeling silky soft and with a golden glow all year around.

Why natural fake tan is taking the world by storm: introducing Eco Coco

In a world where juicing kale has become a 'thing' it's no wonder that girls (and guys) are paying attention to what they put in their mouth and on their skin. Now Betty is a believer that all fake tan is good fake tan, however not all fake tans are created equal. Taking the world by storm is one of Betty's favs - Eco Coco Tan.

So what's so special about Eco Coco? Well for starters it's made from the most pure, revolutionary, certified organic ingredients including organic coconut oil, chamomile extract, aloe extract, acai extract and goji berry. Sound like a smoothie bowl recipe right? 

Boasting a beautiful summer glow, Eco Coco's coveted recipe actually works, unlike other organic fake tans on the market. Judging by the extensive reviews on their website it's clear that going 'eco' has never been so fashionable.

The beauty of Eco Coco is that the coconut oil helps lock in moisture, leaving you soft and supple, unlike other fake tan product which generally dry your skin out. Perfect for all skin types, Eco Coco even has anti-aging properties, not that a lady ever shares her age. Best of all, Eco Coco proud of their cruelty free ethos, test on babes not bunnies!

With a lusty worthy Instagram account of beautifully curated imagery, Eco Coco is definitely worth a look, you can check them out here and purchase Eco Coco here.

Ten Reasons Why You Should Fake Tan

1. Protect Your Skin Against Those Harmful Sunrays

Our largest organ is our skin and needless to say you should care for it as if it was your most valuable possession - because it is, together with the rest of our body. Avoid skin cancer, premature ageing and wrinkles by wearing high SPF every single day (yes, even during winter and on rainy days!) and be a golden goddess by using fake tan rather than lying hours and hours under those very harmful UV sunrays. Betty begs you! 

2. The Quick & Easy Way To A Sunkissed Skin 

Although lying on a beautiful beach or by the pool is a wonderful way to relax and unwind, you might not always have time to wait for that tan to reach the perfect level of darkness. There are more things to do, places to explore, friends to see and amazing meals to eat. A fake tan will make you look like you have been on a tropical holiday within minutes! 

3. You Can Tan Wherever You Want, Whenever You Want

You don't have to wait for the sun to shine in order to achieve a gorgeous fake tan. A fake tan can be applied on sunny days, rainy days, cold winter days or whatever other time of day and year you prefer. Perfect as far as Betty is concerned! 

4. No Unsightly Tan Lines

Who doesn't want to wear (or not wear...) whatever they want and not have to worry about hiding those unsightly tan lines.

5. Sunkissed Skin All Year Around

As Betty said, a fake tan can be applied on sunny days, rainy days, summer days, winter days. Whenever and wherever you want! 

6. Look Toned

A wise person once said "If you can't tone it, tan it". So true.

7. Forces You To Take Care Of Your Skin By Exfoliating And Moisturising Often And Regularly

A fake tan will always look the best and last the longest when you take care of your skin by exfoliating and moisturising regularly. This is also crucial for anyone who wants soft, healthy looking skin all year round and at any age.

8. Instant Golden Goddess

Sometimes the only confidence booster you need is a golden fake tan that will make you feel as good as you look within a couple of minutes. 

9. An Amazing Fake Tan Will Make You Look And Feel Fresh And Healthy 

The cold winter months especially can make many of us feel a bit pale and dull. While you don't want to overdo the fake tan during winter (a natural looking glow goes a long way), a little fake tan pick-me-up might be all you need. A fake tan will also make your teeth look whiter and your eyes brighter. 

10. You Can Customize Your Colour 

 Go as dark as you want, but please - read our blog post about choosing the right tan tone for your skin tone here… just to make sure you don't look like a carrot!

The breakfast of Betty's choice

Betty loves to get off to a good start in the morning and to her, that means starting her day with a healthy, nutritious breakfast. Her favorite (except for long weekend brunches with eggs and smashed avo) is acai bowls. The delicious berry from Brazil has been around for centuries and are packed with antioxidants, healthy fats, fibre and essential vitamins and minerals. It is truly a superfood! And better yet, it looks and almost tastes like ice cream. Who doesn't want ice cream for breakfast?

As with most things, you need to try and fail in order to find what suits your tastebuds best. However, Betty has a good base recipe that can be worth starting off with if acai bowls are new to you. 

Serves 2

2 frozen Acai Berry packs (have a look in you local healthy food shop) 

1 banana

1/2 cup coconut or almond milk 

A handful of spinach (optional) 

Toppings of your choice (fruits, berries, homemade granola, shredded coconut, nuts) The sky really is the limit! 

Blend all (except toppings) in a blender until smooth and thick, but not chunky. If needed, add extra milk until everything is completely blended. Split into two bowls and add your favorite toppings. 

Easy peasy! Enjoy!! 

Love Betty xxxx
