Author: Emmanuel

Twenga has searched through the  most popular sunscreens to find the variations that are most suited to your needs:

-Accelerated tanning: Tanning Pills
Taken a minimum of 15 days before sun exposure, tanning pills like Oenobiol contain active hydrators that prepare the skin for a rich and long-lasting tan.
Tanning pills starting from £16

-Face protection: Facial suncare
Sensitive and frequently exposed to the sun, your face requires a non-comedogenic, soothing, and hydrating lotion.  Some brands such as Nivea even make anti-ageing sun creams that will help to rejuvenate and protect your skin.
Face protection starting from £16

-A healthy tan: Sun protection lotion
For a natural and progressive tan, choose a water-resistant cream with a sun index that is appropriate for your skin type.  The more fair and sun-senstive your skin, the higher level of sun protection you will require.

If your skin is olive or already bronzed, you can deepen your tan with a tanning oil like Hawaiian Tropic’s professional tanning oil.
Tanning oils starting from £5

-A long-lasting tan: Tan prolonger
After sun exposure, soothe and refresh your skin by applying a tan extender such as Lancaster Tan Maximiser.  The intense hydration provided by these lotions will help you obtain a luminous tan that is both uniform and long-lasting.
Tan prolonger starting from £2.68

Here’s a quick guide on how to choose a comfortable and flattering swimsuit that will help you look hot this summer on the beach or your vacation.  Twenga has many brands and categories of ladies swimwear, from designer bikinis and tankinis, to plus size and maternity swimwear.

What type of swimsuit will fit your body type?

•    Curvy
Choose a one piece that will flatter your figure by hugging your curves and giving you an instant tummy tuck. A low neckline will also draw attention away from your unflattering curves and bring attention to the right ones.
Prices: One piece suits from £18

•    Pear-shaped
If you’re wider on bottom than you are on top, you want to wear a bathing suit that draws attention upwards; Bandeau tops bring attention to your shoulders and away from your lower body. Also, wearing a darker, slimming shade on the bottom will do the trick.
Prices: Bandeau tops from £2

•    Small bust/Boy shape
Having an athletic body can still be sexy!  Padded halter tops with wide v-neck cuts can add cleavage. Try boy shorts or detailed bikini bottoms to bring attention to your hips and give the impression of a fuller figure.
Prices: Padded halters from £7

•    Maternity
You’ll already have that mommy glow- now feel comfortable that nothing is falling out of place by wearing a maternity swimsuit that was made especially with your figure in mind.
Prices: Maternity swimwear from £6

•    Plus-Size
Super stretch fabrics provide extra tummy control, while thicker shoulder straps offer more breast support. Try classic, slimming colours like black or white, dressed up with a colourful sarong.
Prices: Sarongs from £3

Not liking certain parts of your body is a normal feeling for many woman.  However, stylists will tell you that the trick to looking and feeling great is emphasizing what you love about your body while drawing attention away from what you don’t:

•    Thick thighs
Flatter your legs by wearing skirted bottoms that hide what you don’t want to show, yet still look sexy.

•    Baby stomach
Tankini tops are the perfect tummy concealer for new moms.  You could either try high-waisted bottoms, or low rise bottoms with a tank cut top to flatter your legs and cover your stomach.

•    Short legs or torso
If you want longer looking legs, try string bikini bottoms, with a slightly higher cut than regular bikini bottoms.

Accessories

Don’t forget your beach accessories such as beach bags, flip flops, sun block, sarongs, and sunglasses.
