The 'flawless' fake tan so popular one bottle sells every 20 seconds
As the sun starts to reappear after days of drizzly showers, it's only natural to crave a sun-kissed glow. However, lounging in the sun or spending time on tanning beds can result in sunburn and skin damage, leading to premature ageing - not exactly the summer look we're aiming for.
Luckily, fake tan is here to save the day, and there's one particular product that shoppers are snapping up. In fact, Coco and Eve's Honey Bali Bronzing Foam is so sought-after, one bottle is sold every 20 seconds.
The lightweight, quick-drying foam promises to deliver a believable, natural-looking tan in six hours. It utilises a clever green-grey base to create a natural bronzy finish - with no orange streaks in sight.
Given this, it's no wonder it boasts a near-perfect star-rating of 4.8 out of five from over 4,000 reviews. It also avoids the dreaded biscuit smell often associated with false tan. Instead, it's infused with a tropical mango and guava scent to make tanning feel like a treat, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The Bali Bronzing Set is an excellent starting point if you're going all in. It includes bronzing foam, a blurring brush for smooth application, and a velvet tanning mitt - and it's reduced to £52 from £58.
As mentioned, the foam has garnered some fantastic reviews online. One individual said: "This is the best tan I've ever gotten. I've been told so many times it looks so flawless. This, plus the face mist, is the greatest combo yet. I won't go back to any other tan."
A second customer added, "I was a bit dubious about this product. Since using the tan lotion, it has come out flawless. It looks natural, it lasts, and it smells great. I couldn't be happier and would highly recommend it; you won't be disappointed."
Another fan said: "I did not get to leave it on as long as I would have liked, but I still felt as if it gave me a healthy glow. I used it on my face, and I didn't break out, and it didn't seem to fall into my pores like some tans do."
However, not everyone is as pleased. Someone complained, "I have used tons of self-tanners, and for some reason, I find this one so blotchy."
If such feedback makes you hesitate, consider the myriad other fake tans available. For instance, St. Tropez Self Tan Express Mousse is currently Amazon's top-selling false tan, boasting results that are meant to last a week, providing a natural-looking, streak-free, and impeccable tan.
Alternatively, Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam enjoys a robust 4.75-star rating on Look Fantastic for its attributes of "washing off well" and "not streaking."
But a Coco and Eve fan said: "This bronzing foam is amazing. The colour is so natural and beautiful, I love it so much. Multiple people asked if I had recently returned from a vacation after applying it."
So, for those eager to achieve a sun-kissed look with just one application, Coco and Eve's top-selling tanner might be the ticket, available for purchase here.

Boden's 'very classy' £125 dress reduced to £37 is 'perfect' for summer
"Beautiful dress, very classy and a great fit. Love the colours too!" It's officially summer, and although we may have seen our fair share of rain recently, more sunshine is on the way. And with the hot weather comes the itch to rehash the ol' summer wardrobe. Luckily, Boden shoppers think they've found the perfect dress for this year- and what's more, it's currently on offer. The Kate Midi Shirt Dress normally costs £125, but for a limited time, Boden shoppers can snap it up for far less. As part of Boden's huge online summer clearance sale, the Kate Midi Shirt Dress has been reduced to £50, if shoppers opt for the Rich Emerald, Decorative Flora print. It's even cheaper in alternative patters, priced at £37.50 in the French Navy, London Town and Red, Polka Wave prints. However, sizes are selling out at a rapid pace in these particular designs, so it may be best to check out what's still available. The Kate Midi Shirt Dress comes in seven intricate designs and prints in total, all of which have been reduced from the original £125 price point, reported Manchester Evening News. The dress also comes in Petite, Regular and Long lengths, with a size range of 4 to 22. With a pointed collar and midi length, the Kate shirt dress is an easy summer staple for throwing on with a pair of sandals and trainers, and will flatter the wearer's shape without clinging for a lightweight and breezy look. Boden's Kate Midi Shirt Dress £125 £37.50 - £50 Boden Shop Product Description Its matching waist belt is arguably the frock's best feature, which can be tied to flatter the waistline. Another notable and rare feature is that this dress has been blessed with side pockets. For those browsing a similar dress in an even wider range of designs, the Rua Jersey Shirt Dress Midi has been reduced at White Stuff. It's currently 25 per cent off, and is available in eight different prints. Another stylish option is Next's Cream Palm Print Short Sleeve Tie Waist Midi Dress with Linen. At £48, it's in a similar price range, but comes in a more muted palette than the Boden and White Stuff options. The Kate Midi Shirt Dress has been flooded with glowing five-star ratings, although one thing to note is that many have commented on the dress's short length. One impressed five-star shopper said: "Beautiful dress, very classy and a great fit. Love the colours too!" A second penned: "Stunning! Really beautiful dress for work." A third agreed: "I love this dress. Comfy, excellent quality and fit. Good for work or going out for lunch." Somebody else added: "Lovely crepe material. Classic style. Very Boden." Less impressed, another said: "Although the Kate is a lovely dress, and the fabric was absolutely gorgeous, the shape didn't flatter me, so sadly I sent her back." But another wrote: "Fun design, perfect fit . Lovely material that hangs well." While another five-star reviewer raved: "Showstopper dress, gorgeous print and so comfortable." The Boden dress can be purchased here. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

Protect your hair from sun, sea and chlorine on holiday with £24 waterproof mask
Want to stop your holiday from ruining your hair? Then this £24 hair mask is about to be your summer saviour, helping nourish and protect your hair from sun, sea and swimming Nothing ruins your hair faster than chlorine, salt water and too much sun, which can make your long-awaited holiday a nightmare for your locks. From drying out your strands to causing discolouration and tangles, the combination of chemicals and UV rays can spell disaster for your hair. However you don't need to spend your whole trip trying to keep your head above water, because Philip Kingsley's Swimcap Water-Resistant Mask is here to save the day. Originally created for the US Olympic synchronised swimming team, the hair mask has now become one of the go-tos for swimmers and sunbathers alike for protecting their hair. The Swimcap Water-Resistant Mask is £24 for a large 100ml bottle, and is suitable for all hair types, including coloured and chemically treated hair. It creates a protective barrier between your hair and external aggressors like chlorine, salt water and UV rays, and helps to nourish and hydrate each strand while you wear it. It's been fortified with hydrolysed elastin which boosts the strength and body of each strand, minimising breakage and damage. You also get extra moisture from castor oil and olive oil, leaving it silky soft and shiny after use. You just need to apply it to damp hair in sections and comb it evenly through your hair, and leave it on whilst sunbathing or swimming – it's fully water resistant, so you don't need to worry about it coming out. For the best results you can apply it the day before you're planning on being in the sun, and it's important to leave it on whenever you know your hair will be exposed to things like sun and swimming. Other options with similar results include Umberto Giannini Swim Proof Hair Protecting Cream, £8.95, which protects your hair from sun, chlorine and salt water whilst still letting you style your hair as normal after use. If your hair has already suffered the effects of your trip abroad, the SUN BUM Hair Mask, £19.99, or Color Wow's Coconut Cocktail, £25, are both excellent at restoring dry, damaged or over processed hair almost instantly. However Philip Kingsley's Swimcap Water-Resistant Mask has been getting rave reviews from LookFantastic shoppers, with a 4.85 star rating. One wrote: 'Absolute lifesaver on holiday! Saves your hair from all the chlorine & sun! Hair feels so soft after using it! Worth the money!' Another agreed: 'I have coloured hair and a few times in the pool my hair was coming out and was dry. This has changed my life no hair coming out and feels healthy after doesn't feel like I've been in the pool I will be using constantly now.' A third chimed in: 'I first tried this about 2 years ago for our holidays it's an absoloute God send for keeping your hair nice when in the sun or pool but I then realised it's amazing to put in the kids hair for there swimming classes. It stops the hair getting that build up of chlorine and when they rinse it out after swimming their hair is tat free and easy to manage. A little goes a long way too so although it's not the cheapest you do get your moneys worth.' Whilst a fourth was thrilled, writing: 'I have bleached highlighted hair, and this protected my hair from discolouration in the 30 degree heat whilst swimming. I didn't want my hair going green from the chlorine, and it didn't! I love this product, and is a firm favourite for holidays to protect my hair.' In fact there were only two reviews less than five stars, both of which were four star ratings. One was from someone who had yet to try it, and the other said: 'Love this for holidays as protects hair against sun, UV, chlorine etc. Only downside is that it has to be applied to damp hair!'

Three of the best grooming gifts for father's day – the budget buy is best bet
I PRIDE myself on being a great gift giver, and with Father's Day fast approaching, I've scoured the shelves to find the best grooming gifts out there – so you're guaranteed to be in the good books. 5 BUDGET 5 Next The Well Groomed Essentials box, £20, If you're on a budget, but want to spoil your dad, this is the best bet. The seven products work out at less than £3 a pop, but would cost £77 if bought separately. There are cult brands such as Emma Hardie, Dr Paw Paw and This Works, alongside grooming heroes such as Hawkins & Brimble daily energising moisturiser 100ml(worth £15 alone) and Percy Nobleman caffeine shampoo & body wash 200ml (worth £13). With its range of products, it's a real beginner's starter kit – so you don't need to be into grooming to enjoy it. MID RANGE LookFantastic The Father's Day Edit, £45, Worth £180, this gift set undoubtedly gives you the best bang for your buck. There are nine grooming products – six of which are full-sized, including REN Clean Skincare Everhydrate marine moisture serum, which has an RRP of £40, almost paying for the entire box itself. Among the miniatures, is a deluxe-size Elemis pro-collagen energising marine cleanser, and even a travel-friendly Jo Malone cypress and grapevine intense cologne, which is a rare find. The edit is slightly more skincare-focused than Next's box, so one for dads into self-care. How to stop sore feet and blisters in new sandals LUXURY Dior Sauvage Skincare Ritual Kit, £103, Dior Sauvage seems to be the go-to fragrance for pretty much every man in London, and when I gifted my brother skincare from the franchise for Christmas, he was over the moon. The three-step routine is suitable for all skin types. It features a charcoal-based cleanser to balance oil production; a soothing toner that contains cactus water to reduce redness; and a nourishing serum that promises to keep skin moisturised for 100 hours – although, you really should be washing and reapplying in that time. PICK OF THE WEEK IF your dad is more into fragrance than skincare, there are two new limited-edition scents to sniff out. Armani Stronger With You Sandalwood, £122 for 100ml, is rich and leathery with notes of spicy saffron, creamy chestnut and smokey wood. It feels like pure luxury. Hugo Boss – Boss Bottled Bold Citrus, £52.99 for 50ml, is lighter, with notes of lemon, bergamot and patchouli. See
