Maybe Try This At Home?

We came across this unusual, yet rather folksy fab, homemade recipe for sunless tanner and thought we’d give it a go. It’s uber-easy, much like we love and most good folks are likely to have the ingredients on hand to whip up their own bit of a beaut tan. All you need is a super strong cup of black tea (loose leaves preferably) left to steep for the better part of an hour and a sea sponge or something similar to apply. After the tea has steeped and is coolish to touch, dip the sponge into the strong black tea and then artfully dab it onto the areas you wish to faux tan. The good thing about self tanning with black tea is that it doesn’t seem to streak and can be reapplied in layers to build up to a reasonable level of colour. We did notice, however, that you should leave each layer to dry before applying the next to get the most noticeable increase in colour. Who would have thought it was as easy or as cheap as that? Too nifty.
