The new series of Big Brother is well and truly underway.  Channel 5, the new broadcaster of the show have planned many major changes for the show.

The first major change is for the lead presenter Brian Dowling to have a slight de-tan.  The Big Brother host admitted that the producers had asked him to tone down the fake tan levels he had been applying and go with a more naturally golden fake tan look.

“They are changing the look this year and it was suggested I could wear jeans. I said I would love to wear jeans…They then said, ‘You looked really brown’. So I have been told to be less Essex, more Chelsea. How that is relevant to the show I don’t know but, yeah, I have to look less brown.”

Perhaps he could have avoided the conversation by coming to The Tan Bar for some advice first!  Don’t make the same mistake, take a look at our fake tan products and get that amazing golden glow you are looking for.

It is time to rejoice as summer is fast approaching!  Those dark, cold days are leaving us behind and we have had a taste of summer in recent weeks.

We thought we would give you a few of our top fake tan tips, while you are deciding whether to go with Fake Bake, He Shi or another of our fantastic fake tan brands!

Before you apply fake tan, make sure you allow 48 hours after waxing and at least 24 hours after shaving.  Make sure you exfoliate!  This ensures any dead skin is removed and creates a nice smooth base to apply on.

Also, apply moisturiser to your hands, feet, elbows and any other dry areas and of course by using a thick moisturiser after applying will prolong the results!

It is vitally important to “layer”, or you will not achieve a natural-looking tan.  It is important to apply fake tan, just like you would a real tan – by building up over time and not necessarily looking for an instant result.

You should leave your new tan for up to 12 hours before showering, and for the best results sleep on it first!  However, if you just want a light glow then shower after around 4-5 hours.

This will bring you that perfect fake tan golden glow that you are looking for – enjoy the summer!

When looking back over the last 15 years of how the fake tan industry has boomed, it is clear that one star shines above all:  Victoria Beckham started the 90s fake tan craze, according to some bronzing experts.

Nichola Joss has worked with some major stars in her time, including Kate Moss and Elle Macpherson and recalls that fake tan became huge business in the 90s when “Posh” bought the fake tan world to women around the globe, showing them that permanently golden skin was possible!

It was at this time, that the fake tan market started to boom, when St Tropez was first launched in the early 90s.  The natural looking and lack of odour were key reasons for the product to become so popular.

The product became a consumer option in 1995, and this is the point, with the aid of Victoria Beckham that the fake tan market really took off.
