Corkscrew ringlets, or loose waves, curls come in all shapes. That’s why it’s hard to find the right fix – what works for one curl may not work for another. Luckily, there are many of us curly-haired princesses out there, so there are now plenty of tips available on how to care for your unruly hair. Here are our top eight for you to try, which should work for most types:

1. Shun the shampoo

Textured hair is naturally more dry because the scalp’s moisturising oils don’t adequately quench the thirsty curls, says author of Curly Girl: The Handbook, Lorraine Massey. Shampooing too regularly can strip the hair even more thanks to harsh chemicals (namely, sulphates). If you can, try using a conditioner that has a small amount of gentle cleansers rather than moisture-zapping shampoo.

2. Ditch the towel for a T-shirt

Super absorbent towels will take all the moisture from your hair, which we’ve already learnt is death to curls. So instead, learn how to “plop” with a cotton t-shirt. This is a technique of wrapping your hair up after the shower, and will greatly reduce frizz and potential breakage after you’ve washed it. The t-shirt won’t be as absorbent as a towel, so gently squeeze excess water out of your hair first, but don’t wring your hair! Then plop your hair with the t-shirt and it should just absorb some of the remaining water while allowing the essential moisture to remain in place.

3. Satin sheets

You can lose a lot of moisture from your hair while you sleep if you’re sleeping on a cotton pillowcase. This is agreed upon by hair experts all over the world! They recommend sleeping on a satin pillow instead, which will allow your hair to keep its moisture, reducing hair breakage. You’ll start the day with soft and supple curls instead of dry and frizzy hair.

4. Curls hate brushes

Throw out that brush right now. It is not helping your hair at all, it’s just going to damage already delicate hair. Use a wide-toothed comb to untangle your curls, but gently detangle any knots with a detangler or oil first. When it comes to combing, separate your hair into manageable sections – it will make the process easier and distribute oils from your scalp to tips evenly. When your hair is ready for the comb, start with the back sections at the nape of your neck moving to the top of your head, combing from root to tip.

5. Dry air is not your friend

It’s a pretty simple equation: Dry air + curls = FRIZZ! And while there’s not much you can do about the humidity in the air, you can make sure you add extra moisture to your hair on dry days, to protect it from drying out further. You can also try to humidify the air at home with a humidifier or just a pot of distilled water on the stove, set to a low boil.

6. Hands off!

Playing with your hair will separate your curls and lead to unwanted frizz, so try to keep your hands firmly in your pockets! Of course, it’s not just your hands that you need to be wary of. People love soft, bouncy curls and sometimes think that gives them reason enough to invade your personal space and stroke, scrunch or pat your hair. Sure, it’s often done in admiration but how does one avoid sweaty stranger’s hands from unnecessarily frizzing up your mane? Unfortunately we don’t have answer for that, short of a duck-and-dodge or yelling “NO TOUCHING” as soon as you see that hand rising… that may come across as a bit rude though.

7. Diffuse the situation

As we’ve said time and time again, your hair is already naturally dry, so blowing blowing hot air on it will dry it even more and make it frizz something terrible. On those occasions when you can’t wait around all day for your hair to dry naturally, there is a solution – the diffuser attachment. A diffuser on a hair dryer minimises the frizz by evenly distributing the heat, without disturbing your curls. When using a diffuser, you should always set your hair dryer on a medium and keep it moving so that the air distributes evenly through your hair.

8. Natural is best

When you let something be, it will often thrive. So forget expensive straightening treatments, bleaches, dryers etc. and love your curls in their natural form – they will love you back. Once you allow your curls to grow out and recover from the heat-destroying hair care techniques and harsh chemicals, your natural shine will be restored and your curls will be healthy! Listen to your body and nurture your curls in the most natural way you can.

You might think your skin needs more hydration during summer, but winter can be just as bad, if not worse. Windy weather, combined with low humidity and indoor heating can really zap the moisture out of your skin, leaving it tight and itchy. Read our top six recommendations for saving your skin from the icy cold fingers of winter.

Heavy duty moisturiser

Sometimes switching to a thicker cream during winter can work well to protect your skin from the elements. If you’re happy with your moisturiser, make sure you lay it on a bit thicker to act as a barrier.

Forget the foam

Hot baths and showers are big culprits in drying out skin – but who wants a lukewarm shower on a cold morning?! To help prevent the moisture loss further, ditch your foaming body wash for an oil-based one. The foam is great at removing grime & sunscreen in summer, but in winter it can remove the protective layer of oil from the surface of the skin.

Increase the humidity

Other than packing your bags and heading off on a tropical holiday, there’s not much you can do about the humidity you’re surrounded with. However, it won’t help if you’re sitting three centimetres away from the heater all day. As cosy as it is, the low humidity is exceptionally drying to the skin. Try placing a bowl of water near the heater or investing in a room humidifier.

Eat your way to beautiful skin

The best foods for your skin are those rich in vitamins A and E. Carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes and spinach are great for vitamin A, while almonds and hazelnuts are best for vitamin E. Omega 3 will also help to support your skin. The best source of omega 3 is from oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, fresh tuna, sardines and herring.

Getting lippy

Winter wreaks havoc on lips – whether it’s from windburn, or from breathing in and out of your mouth due to a cold! It’s time to ditch the summery gloss for an effective lip balm. If your lips are already showing signs of flakiness, give them a quick brush with a homemade exfoliation mixture of salt and olive oil.

Hand it to me

Our hands take a tonne of abuse every day, repeated washing with soap, and washing the dishes without gloves on can really strip the skin of its natural protective oils. Placing a tube of hand cream on your bedside table will prompt you to apply it every night, and come morning time, your hands will have absorbed all of the goodness and be ready to seize the day.

We’d all love to have a regular spa day where we sit back with a fresh coat of nail polish on, letting a face mask dry, while our hair is soaking up a moisturising treatment. Unfortunately, our lives are far too busy and these little treats happen less often than they should. Here are five ways that you can still get your fab beauty treatments while you go about your everyday life:

1) Give your face a steam while you make your cuppa

Steaming is a great way to clean impurities from your pores and can work like a mini facial. First thing in the morning, (when you’re boiling water for coffee anyway), add a little boiling water to a bowl.

Stand with your face over the bowl for a minute or two and let the steam do its work on your skin while your cuppa brews. If you add a drop of eucalyptus oil it will also give you a quick anti-bacterial treatment. For the best results, follow with step 2 below!

2) Apply a face mask while making lunch

You don’t need to set aside time specifically for sitting still with a face mask on. Simply apply it first thing in the morning and by the time you’ve made your breakfast or lunch, it will be dry and ready to wash off in the shower.

3) Buff your skin while showering

Exfoliation is often one of the most overlooked beauty treatments. Once a week, instead of reaching for the soap or body wash, use a scrub in the shower to remove dead skin cells, increase circulation and clense your skin. Simply apply it with your hands or a loofah and feel silky smooth for days.

For an easy salt scrub you can make at home, moisten a cup of sea salt with water until it forms a sticky paste, then massage into your skin. Rinse, towel dry and apply body lotion.

4) Treat your hair while cleaning the shower

Hair masks are really low on most people’s lists of ‘time appropriate’ beauty treatments – but here’s one that won’t take any of your extra time, and will also encourage you to keep your shower clean! Just before giving you get to scrubbing, wash your hair with just shampoo, towel dry and massage a rich hair and scalp treatment mask into your locks. Wrap your hair in cling wrap while you scrub the tub. The heat from your scalp will release the best beauty benefits for your hair and lock in moisture. Rinse it off just before bed, or even better, sleep with your hair in the cling wrap for a deeper treatment and rinse out in the morning.

TIP: The longer you can leave this treatment on your hair – the better. But even 5 minutes will do wonders for your mane.

5) Sleep and get smooth touchable tootsies

Possibly one of the easiest beauty treatments in the beauty book is to slather your feet in a rich cream before bed, pop on some socks and let the deep penetrating moisturiser sink into your dry heels. Then wake up to soft, supple feet!

While stretch marks are a very normal part of most women’s lives, they can still make us feel embarrassed and affect our body image. They’re simply marks that occur as the skin stretches on the body – either from excess weight gain, adolescence growth or pregnancy.

Stretch may be pink or deep brown, and then lighten on the skin and turn silvery as they fade. Yes, in time they will fade, so don’t let them become a big beauty hang up.

The most common areas on the body for stretch marks are the stomach, breasts, buttocks, thighs and hips, but they can occur anywhere. But follow these tips, and you’ll be looking great on the beach, or any other time you want to bare some skin.

Stretch marks: what are your options?

Living with them

This is the first choice for so many of us – ignore them and wait for them to fade. As we lose the excess kilos that put them there in the first place, the great feelings that result might make a few marks seem insignificant.

Hidden away

This is not ideal as you shouldn’t feel the need to hide your body, but hiding your stretch marks doesn’t necessarily mean wearing long sleeves and pants during summer. You could try fake tan to minimise their appearance and boost your naked confidence. Just make sure you do a good job with your tan, or even go to a salon, as a fluorescent orange glow is going to make your body look ten times worse than any stretch mark ever could.

Reducing stretch marks

Dermatologists and plastic surgeons are seeing some success with a laser technique, called Fraxel, which stimulates collagen production in the skin and can significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks in anywhere from one to six treatments. Sounds great, but treatments can be on the pricey side, and can also have adverse effects on olive skin, so the best approach is to do a bit of research first.
Type “stretch marks” into any search engine like Google and you will find countless ads for collagen-based creams. Rubbing these into the skin is said to help make it more supple and retain its elastic qualities. But, any cream or lotion that keeps the skin supple will be helpful — from an expensive designer lotion to a tub of cocoa-butter. The magic is in the regular moisturising and massage.

Anything with vitamins A, E and B should also aid in repairing your skin.

Of course, exercise helps tone up the skin beneath. Marks look much worse on flabby, untoned skin than they do on toned and tight flesh.

Prevention is key

Try to keep your weight steady and avoid the creeping kilos to prevent the skin from stretching; regular body massage with a rich lotion will keep it supple and moist.

You may like to research homeopathic remedies. Calc Fluor is recommended for skin elasticity, and silica helps with connective tissue cells.

As with many things, stretch marks are easier to prevent than cure. And the healthy steps you take to prevent them should feel great in and of themselves.

There are so many beauty products out there to help us bring out our favourite features (or hide the less flattering ones if that’s the case). But sometimes when you’re running late for a meeting, or just wanted a few extra moments in bed, you just don’t have time to go through your full beauty routine. Our shortcuts tell you how to make the most of your products when you’re short on time, what to use, and what products you can forego:

1. Don’t worry about trying to make everything look good. Choose either your eyes or your lips, and play one of them up rather than both.

2. By applying a little foundation to your lips, you lip colour will stay put all day long.

3. If you don’t have time to walk around the house with starfish hands, dip your nails into icy water once you have finished painting them – they will dry faster

4. Fix a broken lipstick by using a lighter to melt the bottom of the broken piece. Reattach it to the stick, hold in place for a minute and then put in the fridge for an hour.

5. Don’t be precious. Rather than fumbling around with makeup brushes, use fingertips to apply cream eye shadow, blush or foundation.

6. If you have dark bags under your eyes, don’t wear mascara on your lower lashes. It will only create a shadow and emphasise tired eyes.

7. The trick to perfecting a faux glow is to only apply bronzer where the sun hits. So, sweep it across the cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, the tip of the chin and temples.

8. To avoid getting clumping lashes, roll your mascara brush over a tissue before applying. Just make sure you only do one full rotation or you won’t have enough mascara left to create big, beautiful lashes.

9. To tidy up smudged eye shadow or liner, dab a cotton bud in moisturiser and wipe under your eyes.

10. To wake up tired eyes, use a white eye pencil on the inside rim.

11. Before plucking your brows, hold a warm cloth to them for 30 seconds. This softens the hair follicle so that the hairs glide out more easily.

12. Once you’ve applied two coats of nail polish, quickly sweep the brush in a horizontal stroke across the very tip of the nail. This little trick will help stop nails from chipping.

13. Tame misbehaving baby hairs around the hairline by spraying an old toothbrush with hairspray and combing into place.

14. For lashes that stay curled longer, use your hair dryer to heat up an eyelash curler. Wait until it cools down slightly (but is still warm) and then clamp down on your lashes.

15. If you need to run out the door and your hair is still wet, head to the kitchen and grab some paper towels! They’ll soaks up more water than a bath towel, drying your locks faster.

16. Apply a little moisturiser to your thighs and bottom to prevent pesky static electricity that makes your clothes cling.

17. For heavy-duty hydration, apply a hair treatment, pop on a shower cap and blast your head with a hairdryer – the heat will help the product penetrate deeply.

18. A pea-sized drop of baby oil makes for a handy hair serum.

19. Run out of shaving gel? Just use conditioner instead!

20. Dropping your favourite bronzer and seeing it shatter into a million pieces doesn’t mean you have to toss it in the bin. Simply mix it with your moisturiser for a bronzing, body cream.

21. If don’t have time to wash your hair, take a big makeup brush and dab it in baking soda, arrowroot powder or face/baby powder. Tap it once to remove any excess and then apply along your roots to help soak up any extra oil.

22. Soften rough feet in your sleep! Before you hit the sack, wash your tootsies, slather them with body cream and then put on cotton socks to lock the moisturiser in.

23. Coconut oil makes a nifty makeup remover. Just scoop out a little from the jar, rub it between your fingers to warm it up, smooth over your skin and then wipe off with a dry cotton pad. Just make sure you don’t get any in your eyes.

24. To use your mascara as a cream eyeliner, grab some product from the wand with an angled brush and drag it along the lash line.

25. Try and avoid scheduling a waxing appointment within three days of the start of your period, as skin tends to be extra sensitive then.

26. Fix a streaky tan by sweeping a cotton ball that has been soaked in lemon juice over the patchy areas. The citric acid from the lemon will act as a natural lightener and gently exfoliate overly tanned skin cells.

27. For frizz-free hair, sleep on a silk pillowcase.

28. Cut down on the number of products in your arsenal by using a two-in-one lip and cheek colour or multitasking BB Cream that can act as a primer, tinted moisturiser, anti-ageing serum, pimple treatment and sunscreen.

29. Create your own leave-in conditioner by pouring regular conditioner and water into a spray bottle. One part conditioner to three parts water is the perfect formula!

30. To make any lip colour matte, apply your lipstick, dust over it with loose translucent powder and press one-ply tissue to your lip. This also makes your lippie stay all day!

What’s your favourite beauty hack for saving time while looking good?

Looking good is often all about the finishing touches. Your outfits don’t have to cost a million bucks for you to look a million bucks, all it takes is a little attention to detail. Luckily, we can make that even easier with 25 budget fashion hacks that will keep you looking spick and span.

1. Keeping shoes watertight

You can make your canvas shoes waterproof by giving them a rub with beeswax and then setting it with a hairdryer.

2. Getting the better of buttons

Don’t leave your shirt looking crinkled just because you can’t handle ironing around buttons. Simply flip your shirt inside out to make ironing a breeze. (I know, why didn’t you think of that?)

3. Stop losing the little things

Lost an earring back or button in the carpet? Simply slip a stocking over your vacuum cleaner hose and get sucking … the lost item will get sucked onto the stocking.

 4. Straight-collared

If you struggle to iron your collars properly, running a hot hair straightener around them is the perfect way to get a perfectly smooth edge.

 5. Zippidy doo dah

Zipper on your favourite jacket keeps getting stuck? Rub the teeth of the zipper with a graphite pencil tip and it will soon glide up with ease.

 6. Jeanius!

White deodorant can leave annoying stains on your dark tops, but simply give those pits a rub with a pair of jeans and watch them disappear. (Test a small patch first to avoid any colour transfer.)

 7. Don’t sweat it

Just as embarrassing as the white deodorant stains are yellow sweat stains. These can easily be removed from white shirts by spraying the affected areas with lemon juice before you put them in the wash. (But don’t try it on darks or colours unless you want bleached armpits!)

 8. Wine, don’t whine

If you’re a little unlucky when it comes to red wine, you can remove it from your clothes by gently blotting the affected area with a cloth soaked in white wine.

 9. Getting rid of runs

Nothing looks more tacky than stockings full of runs. Spray your tights with hairspray to prevent runs – and it will also help stop static cling.

10. Bread winner

To clean dirt off suede, remove the crust from a piece of stale bread, then gently rub the stain with the edge of the bread until it’s all gone.

 11. Old clothes hanging around?

To find out if you’re making the most of your wardrobe (or need to do an op-shop drop-off), turn all your hangers in one direction. As you take out clothes to wear, hang them back up with the hanger facing the opposite direction. After one year, get rid of the clothes that are still hanging in the original direction – chances are you’ll never wear ‘em again!

12. Softly does it

To give your T-shirts that vintage-soft feel, soak them in salt water (1L of water and 1/2 cup of salt) for about three days, then wash normally.

13. Delicate business

Hate the endless wringing required when hand-washing your delicates? Easily fixed by placing them in a salad spinner and doing your thing. It’s your very own spin cycle!

 14. Adding shine back to shoes

Have your patent shoes lost their sheen? A spritz of window cleaner will soon have you able to see your reflection in them once more.

15. Using your noodle

To keep your long boots in good nick, stuff them with pool noodles when you’re not wearing them to help them keep their shape and stand up right. You’ll be amazed at how much longer they last when they’re not getting creases from folding over.

16. Vodka spritzer

If your vintage or thrift clothing (or stuff that hasn’t been worn since last season) is smelling like a second-hand store, give them a spritz with a mixture of one part vodka and two parts water to instantly neutralise the musty odour.

 17. Perfectly buttoned up

Keep the top button of your cuff buttoned up when you roll up your sleeves and they will always be perfectly cuffed.

 18. Magic eraser

Get scratches and dings out of leather bags by placing a little bit of moisturiser onto the end of a cotton bud and gently rubbing it into the scratch. Magic!

19. Bags no ironing!

No-one wants to be ironing on holiday! To arrive at your travel destination with wrinkle-free clothes, fold everything in plastic dry cleaning bags before placing them in your suitcase.

 20. The finger test

Avoid hanging bra straps by making sure your bra is fitted properly in the first place. You can check to see if your bra fits properly by trying to fit two fingers under your bra band comfortably. If you can’t, it’s probably too tight. And if you can fit more than two fingers under there easily, it’s probably too large!

 21. Stick your neck out

No time to try on a pair of pants? You can tell if they’ll fit without trying them on by wrapping the waist around your neck. If they’re the right size, they will wrap just once around your neck without overlapping. How cool is that?

 22. Powder power

Remove an oil stain out of a purse by coating the mark with baby powder and letting it sit overnight. Wake up to a purse that’s as good as new.

23. Cold shoulder

To prevent your angora or mohair jumpers from shedding, placing them in a sealed plastic bag and freeze them for a minimum of three hours. I don’t know who figured out that sneaky trick, but it works a charm.

24. Smooth as an exfoliated heel …

De-fuzz your sweater by rubbing it with a pumice stone.

25. Hot feet

Break in stiff or snug-fitting shoes (yes, those ones you bought that didn’t quite fit but were on sale and really, really fabulous) by putting them on with socks and blasting your feet with a hot hairdryer.

Do you freak out and cover your face when the camera lens is on you? Nine times out of ten, it can be an awful holiday photo or unflattering birthday pic that sparks a weight loss plan. But even top models or hot celebs know how a badly timed photo can display flaws you didn’t even knew you had (and you probably don’t!). There are a few photo know-hows that you can employ to make you look brilliant for the camera every time.

Face first

• Tilting your face at a slight angle to the camera will make it look thinner.
• If you have a large nose – lift your chin slightly in the photo.
• If your neck is less than perfect, try craning your neck forward.
• Experiment with looks other than the full on cheesy grin. Try a Mona Lisa-like hint of a smile, cheeky arched eyebrows look, or even a wink. It will add movement and personality to your face and make you appear less static in every photograph.
• Keep your chin tilted slightly up – it will help you look more youthful.
• Swallowing as the photo is taken makes your neck look longer and more graceful.
• Look into the camera but don’t stare.
• Take your glasses off to avoid glare and reflections from the flash.
• Putting your hair up and wearing long earrings will give the appearance of a longer neck in a photo.
• And, if you’ve been caught at a ‘I must really wash my hair’ moment, pull it back for the photo and top it off with a pair of sunglasses resting on top of your head for that ‘just-got-off-the beach’ fabulous hair look.

Body confidence

• Face the camera side on to minimise your stomach (pulling in those muscles at the same time!).
• One shoulder pointing forward will show off your figure to its best advantage.
• If you are sitting when the camera comes out, cross your legs at your ankles. Your thighs and calves will look slimmer.
• If (for some strange reason) you know your bum is going to be in the photo, tense and lift it for a few moments, but remember to keep your face looking natural at the same time!
• If at all possible, stand rather than sit in photos.

For a planned photo

This gives you the opportunity to plan a little in advance.

• Wearing darker colours, especially on areas you are less than happy with, can help slim and minimise them.
• Avoid anything too stark and dark next to your face (black, navy blues, browns, and dark greens for instance) as this will drag light away from your face, making you look washed out – and doing nothing to hide any less than perfect skin.
• Employ some speed beauty by whacking on a some mascara to accentuate your eyes and lashes.
• Jewellery reflects the light and adds colour and interest.
• Choose something bright and colourful (but not too patterned or busy) that will reflect light onto your face.
• Don’t experiment with new make-up or hair just before you know you’re going to have your photo taken.
• Your make-up should be easy and light – tinted moisturiser is a great choice for glowing summer skin.
• Avoid having your photo taken in bright or direct sunlight, as this will throw shadows on your face or make you squint. Late afternoon and early evening is the best time to get posing.

Cosmetic surgery is on the rise around the world, with certain countries even becoming plastic surgery holiday destinations. Some people will go to any extreme to improve their appearance, but there are simple, cheap and painless ways to tone up and flatter your body – without going under the knife!

We get that looking good on the outside can help you feel better on the inside, but before you resort to a painful nip and tuck, try a simple snip and pluck, and you could find yourself feeling a million bucks (without spending the same).

10 simple, inexpensive and relatively painless ways you can improve your body without going under the knife:

• Take five minutes before your morning shower to do two or three sets of 15 abdominal crunches (knees bent). If you do them every second day, you’ll noticeably tighten up your midsection and improve your overall mobility – and your posture too.
• Every little step counts – literally. Taking the stairs instead of the lift will strengthen all the major muscle groups in your lower body extremity. Hamstrings, glutes, quads and calves are all going to reap that benefit. As a bonus, you’ll also burn more kilojoules too.
• Using body-shaping underwear to instantly ‘lose weight’ can give you the boost you need while you work on your body. They’re an inexpensive and simple way to instantly flatten your stomach, reduce thigh size, create a waist shape and to smooth and lift your butt – no plastic surgery needed! They won’t fix everything underneath, but you’ll feel wonderful with your new shape, and it may give you the motivation to start hitting the gym, so you will be able to ditch the shape-wear before long.
• Do lunges before bed. Start with wall slides – stand with your back against the wall and your feet 30cm in front of you, then slide down the wall until your thighs are parallel to the ground, and then come back up. Do two sets of 15. Finish with lunges – start by taking a giant step forward with one leg, then lower into lunge position until the knee on your opposite leg almost touches the ground. Push through the front heel to raise back up. Do two sets of 15 with one leg, then two sets with the opposite leg. Both exercises will help tone and firm your major lower-body muscle groups, such as glutes, quads and hamstrings.
• Try yoga for a gentle exercise to improve your body. The ancient art of yoga burns kilojoules while toning and improving your overall flexibility and posture. The benefits of yoga are cumulative. It’s just a matter of time before you will improve flexibility, strength, concentration, willpower and determination – plus tone your body!
• Throw on some high heels. They don’t have to be ankle breaking 7 inch stilettos! Just a small comfortable heel will make you walk talker. Best of all, they elongate the legs making them look longer and leaner. They’ll also help pants sit nicely below the ankle. Your hemline should be an inch off the ground with your heels on.
• Drink plenty of water. At the very least you should consume six glasses of water every day. Dehydration can cause fatigue, headaches, constipation and tooth decay. Being well hydrated could contribute to better looking and clearer skin.
• Always wear flattering fashion pieces like flat-fronted trousers. Pleats and pockets are a no-no for so many reasons, so put them in your next charity shop drop-off. Besides being a hopelessly unstylish relic of the ’80s, pleats create unnecessary puffiness around your mid-section and pockets make your thighs look wider.
• Get a new hairstyle. What better way to focus attention away from your figure and toward your bright smile than with a funky hairstyle? Talk to a stylist about cuts and styles that complement your face. There are also online makeover sites that will let you upload your photo and try on new dos. Or – follow these tips for great hair from home.
• Get a spray tan. It’s a quick way to look instantly slim without toning up or surgery! In the spray room, you can can wear what you feel comfortable in (disposable g-string or your bra and knickers). The process takes about 10 minutes for spraying and 10 minutes for drying. You’ll leave with your body looking bronzed, toned and beautiful – like you’ve just came back from a tropical health spa!
