The product in question is the This Works Perfect Legs Skin Miracle which comes in various sizes. The tinted serum is filled with nourishing vitamins to brighten the skin and enhance its appearance. The tint has a slight sheen to give your legs a healthy glow as well as light coverage to cover any imperfections. Vitamin C and Vitamin E even out the skin and the product also includes Arnica which helps fade any bruising. The non-greasy formula is rounded off with natural Caramel to give extra warmth to any skin tone. Plus, the product is super easy to use, all you need to do is apply it to dry skin in circular motions. While the serum is targeted for legs, it can be used all over the body for a healthy summer glow. It also has instant results unlike fake tan so it's perfect for the morning rush. The serum starts at just £8.40 for a 20ml which is perfect for travel but comes in three sizes. I'm a fake tan pro and have tested all of them - a £22.99 option left me GREEN, but a £3.49 bargain is always a 10/10 The product boasts a 4.4 out of five stars rating, with numerous shoppers gushing about the product in the reviews on John Lewis. One person wrote: "I have been using this for many years and it always delivers a great glow to the legs." Another commented: "I had been eyeing up this for months and finally ordered it, kicking myself for holding out for so long, this is for me a hero product." "Does what it says - amazing product makes leg imperfections less obvious and nice colour," penned a third. Top 3 beauty products every woman should be using Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook shared the holy-grail products every woman needs to be using. A cleanser, SPF, and hair oil are must-haves within beauty routines. A cleanser is crucial for healthy skin as it removes dirt, oil, and other impurities for flawless skin. This skincare step not only cleanses the face and removes dirt, but also prevents breakouts and premature skin ageing, helping you maintain a healthy, youthful, and blemish-free complexion. The Aveeno Face Calm+ Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser is a go-to of mine due to its gentle formula that soothes and restores the skin's appearance and texture. SPF is non-negotiable and should be in everyone's daily skincare routine. Even on cooler, cloudier days, our skin is exposed to the sun's UV rays which can be harmful to unprotected skin and even lead to damage. These damages include sunburn, pigmentation changes, and wrinkles which can impact the skin's texture and appearance. In some cases, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin cancer. Applying SPF daily prevents these damages and protects the skin from harmful rays. I recommend the Beauty Of Joseon Rice & Prebiotic Sunscreen PA++++ SPF50+ for its lightweight, non-clumping texture that absorbs quickly for a natural finish and maximum protection. Hair oil has many benefits and should be regularly used. This treatment can strengthen and protect the hair from external stressors while improving its appearance and shine. Regularly applying hair oil can also reduce breakage and even encourage hair growth for longer, fuller locks. Hair oils also target the scalp, reducing dandruff and improving its health through exfoliation. I recommend using this deeply nourishing treatment a couple of times a week or more depending on the hair's moisture levels. The Hair Syrup Rapunzel Pre-Wash Oil Treatment is a nutrient-rich treatment that revitalises strands to promote a happy scalp and healthy-looking locks. Apply the syrup throughout damp hair before washing; massage from root to tip and allow the formula to penetrate strands before rinsing and styling. Meanwhile a fourth said: "This is truly an amazing product. So easy to apply, streak-free and gives a beautiful even bronzed glow. "It is great for your legs but also looks good on your arms, face and décolleté." "The best leg 'tint' I have ever used! Smells fab! Does not streak! Really rubs in beautifully! Yes it's a bit expensive but when it gives you confidence to get out your otherwise pasty legs, it's worth every penny. I LOVE it!' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "Easy to apply. Stays on all day. A nice natural looking tan. Highly recommend this."

‘I've finally found an SPF 50 sun cream that doesn't ruin white clothes'
For years I've been trying to find a high-factor sunscreen that won't stain my white summer outfits, and I think I've finally found the best SPF 50 for that Every summer for years, friends and family have heard me moan about how frustrating I find it to have all my light-coloured swimwear and holiday clothes ruined by sun cream stains. As someone who's very fair-skinned, I need to wear a high factor sunscreen constantly when I'm in the sun, but I'm sick of it staining my favourite items of clothes. I've tried all these laundry tricks, with varying degrees of success, but still some of my summer clothing has permanent unsightly yellow marks around their edges. I took to the internet for recommendations, and along the way learnt that a lot of people thought that certain sunscreen ingredients were the main reason for this – namely avobenzone, oxybenzone and octocrylene – as they react to certain minerals in the water when washed, effectively causing 'rust' stains. Unfortunately, it's very hard to find a formula that doesn't contain any of these. However, Ultra Violette Extreme Screen SPF 50+ Hydrating Body and Hand SKINSCREEN body sunscreen, £27, came highly recommended on several forums for not staining clothes, so I put it to the test on a recent weekend away to Spain. It's incredibly nourishing on the skin yet non-greasy, like a really good body lotion (in fact, this is how Ultra Violette advise that you use it: every day, like a body lotion). It smells amazing, sinks in really quickly and doesn't feel greasy, but leaves skin feeling super soft. It does have a very slight shimmer to it, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. This Australian brands makes some of the very best suncare (our whole team is also obsessed with Ultra Violette's Future Fluid SPF50+ Superlight Mineral Skinscreen, £37), and this was no exception. I was walking around in full sun for hours during the day and couldn't do a full sun cream top-up – although I did lightly mist over with Garnier Ambre Solaire Over Makeup Mist SPF50+, now £8.67 – and I didn't turn pink at all, even in my more sensitive areas. The real test, however, came when I got home and put my white clothes in the wash. Before they went into the machine they did have a few marks – mainly from fake tan, I think – but once washed (on just a normal cycle), there were hardly any marks at all; perhaps a very very slight discolouration in some areas, but nothing like the bright yellow stains I'm usually left with after using my usual SPFs. I usually leave any half-empty bottles of sun cream behind in my hotel room, but I liked this one so much that I brought it back home to use up every last drop. My next step will be to try fully mineral sunscreens, which use sun filters such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, and which some say result in less long-term staining. The downside to mineral SPFs is that they're usually thicker and whiter, and ones for the body can be hard to come by, but I'll next be trying Coola Mineral Spray SPF30 Unscented, now £24.80, and Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Mineral Body Lotion, now £7.99.
